Packaging that’s tailored to your needs.
Packaging is more than just a container – it’s an extension of your brand. Stand out to customers with films, pouches and closures that maximize your shelf impact.
Rollstock Packaging (Rollstock Film)
High-performance films engineered for your packing lines. Choose from conventional, or sustainable, including specialized solutions for your unique project.
- Best for: High-volume VFFS/HFFS lines, efficient production, and custom printed packaging film at scale.
- Why brands choose it: Lower cost per unit, faster runs, consistent quality, and strong shelf impact.
- Barrier requirements: Commonly oxygen/moisture/aroma barrier film (plus grease resistance or puncture protection when needed).
- Typical industries: Pet food, frozen food, snacks, pantry essentials, plus tissue/personal care overwrap.
Premade Pouches (Stand Up Pouch Packaging)
Choose from eye-catching stand-up pouches, box-pouches and more.
- Best for: Premium shelf presence, multi-SKU brands, and pouch packaging with consumer convenience.
- Why brands choose it: Strong retail impact, flexible features (zipper/windows/tear notch), and easy format upgrades.
- Barrier requirements: Often high-barrier flexible packaging using laminated packaging structures (oxygen/moisture/aroma) for freshness.
- Typical industries: Pet food, frozen, snacks, pantry, and specialty consumer products.
Inno-Lok® Resealable Packaging (Pre-Applied Closures)
Add consumer convenience without costly equipment upgrades.
- Best for: Products needing true resealable packaging to maintain freshness after opening and add convenience while saving you time and money.
- Why brands choose it: Better consumer experience, reduced waste, premium positioning, and repeat-use convenience.
- Barrier requirements: Depends on the base film/pouch – commonly oxygen, aroma, moisture barrier for shelf-life protection.
- Typical industries: Pet food, snacks, pantry essentials, and select frozen applications.
Choose the Right Packaging Format for Your Product
Not sure whether you need rollstock, premade pouches, or resealable closure packaging? Use this quick guide to match the right flexible packaging format, packaging materials, shelf-life needs, and shipping and distribution requirements, supported by a Canadian packaging company serving Canada and the U.S.
Choose your starting point by product type:
Frozen Food Packaging
Rollstock or high barrier pouches for freezer durability and moisture protection; microwaveable or boil in bag when needed
Snack Packaging
Rollstock or stand up pouch for freshness and crunch retention; oxygen barrier; optional reseal
Pet Food Packaging
High-durability pouches or rollstock for puncture/scuff resistance and aroma control; reseal for freshness
Tissue Packaging / Personal Care / Household Goods
Durable overwrap or high-output formats (rollstock) for consistent print for brand visibility; optional shrink film
Match the right barrier and materials:
- Oxygen barrier for freshness (snacks, pantry, pet treats)
- Moisture barrier for cold chain & humidity (frozen foods, household goods)
- Aroma barrier for odour/flavour protection (spices, pet food)
- Common film families include polypropylene and polyethylene film, selected based on performance requirements.
Plan for scale, supply & timing:
High-volume lines often benefit from rollstock for efficiency and consistency, while multi-location brands can reduce stockouts through inventory management, warehousing services, and vendor managed inventory. Faster launches happen when format, materials, and approvals are aligned early.
