Have you ever wondered if your spice packaging is holding back your brand’s growth? In today’s competitive food market, packaging is more than a container — it’s the first impression your customers get of your product. That’s why choosing the right solution, like Custom Printed Food Grade Stand Up Pouches, can make all the difference. At DINGLI PACK, we help brands design packaging that protects freshness, attracts buyers, and reflects their sustainability goals.
A quick look at the spice market
The spice and herb market is big and getting bigger. In 2022 it was around USD 170 billion. It should rise at about 3.6% a year and top USD 240 billion by 2033. People buy whole spices, ground blends, and ready mixes. They buy for homes, cafés, restaurants, and food stands. That means your packaging must work for many buyers — and stand out fast.
Packaging types: the simple pros and cons
Picking the right container isn’t just a technical decision — it’s a branding move. Each option has its own “personality.” Here’s what I tell clients when they ask about glass jars, metal tins, and flexible stand-up pouches.
| Type | Barrier (Air, Moisture, Light) | Shelf Appeal | Cost | Sustainability | Why It’s Great | Where It Falls Short |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Glass Jars | ★★★★ (Excellent for air & moisture, no light block) | ★★★★ (High-end, full visibility) | ★★★★ | ★★★★★ (Reusable & recyclable) | 1. Keeps spices fresh for a long time thanks to airtight seals.
2. Comes in many shapes and sizes — perfect for premium lines or gift sets. 3. Easy to label, screen print, or add custom lids for branding. 4. Gives a “gourmet kitchen” look when displayed on shelves. 5. Widely available through wholesale, so easy to source replacements. 6. 100% recyclable and reusable — a hit with eco-conscious buyers. |
1. Fragile — one drop on a hard floor can be the end of it.
2. Usually more expensive than plastic or pouches, especially for bulk orders. 3. Offers no light protection, which can fade spice color and reduce flavor over time. 4. Heavier, which means higher shipping costs. |
| Metal Tins | ★★★★★ (Blocks light, air, and moisture) | ★★★★ (Large printable surface, vintage and premium look) | ★★★ | ★★★★★ (Fully recyclable & reusable) | 1. Provides maximum protection — spices stay fragrant and dry for months.
2. Extremely durable — won’t crack, shatter, or warp. 3. Easy to clean and reuse, which customers love. 4. Tight lids seal well yet are simple to open — no broken nails here. 5. Non-reactive with food, so no weird smells or flavors. 6. Won’t rust, even in humid kitchens. |
1. Can heat up if stored near stoves or sunlight, which may create condensation inside and spoil the spices.
2. Completely opaque — you can’t see what’s inside without opening the lid. 3. Bulkier than pouches, which means higher storage and transport costs. |
| Flexible Stand-Up Pouches | ★★★★☆ (With multi-layer film, excellent barrier) | ★★★★★ (Full-color print, optional clear window) | ★★★★★ (Most cost-effective) | ★★★★ (Available in recyclable, compostable options) | 1. Lightweight and space-saving — cheaper to ship and store.
2. Can be fully customized with your brand colors, flavor names, and even matte or glossy finishes. 3. Ships flat, which reduces warehouse footprint. 4. Can include resealable zipper, tear notches, and spouts for easy use. 5. Clear windows let customers see the quality of your spices before buying. 6. Easy to swap designs for seasonal or limited-edition blends. |
1. Less rigid, so requires good sealing during filling and transport.
2. Needs quality material to avoid tearing or punctures. 3. Some biodegradable films have a shorter shelf life, so choose carefully based on your product. |

Design tips that actually help sell more
Choose the right material. Select a food-safe film or container that blocks moisture and oxygen. If you want a natural look, consider kraft paper or a custom flat bottom stand up pouch with zipper window — it feels premium and performs well.
Highlight your brand. Big logo, clear flavor names, and simple icons (e.g., “hot”, “mild”, or “organic”) make a quick impression. High-definition printing on custom printed stand up zipper spice seasoning bags shows color and detail precisely — because, yes, people often buy with their eyes.
Make it convenient. Customers want resealability and easy-open features. A clear window builds trust by showing product quality. Kraft paper options like spice seasoning kraft paper stand up bags offer a natural feel and are practical for daily use.
Protect aroma and flavor. Oxygen and moisture kill spice flavor. Use multi-layer barrier films and airtight zippers. Review different stand up zipper bag styles to find the solution that locks in aroma and prevents spoilage.
Little moves that show you care (and sell more)
Label the harvest date. Note storage tips. Use a small story about the farmer or the origin. These things take seconds to read, but people remember them. They also make your product feel real. That helps repeat buys.
