Black Friday Packaging for Food and Beverage Brands
Food and beverage brands running Black Friday promotions need packaging that's not just attractive — it must be FDA-compliant, barrier-sealed, and designed to maintain product freshness through the shipping and storage process.
Here's the complete guide to Black Friday packaging for food brands.
FDA-Compliant Packaging Options
Stand-Up Pouches
Stand-up pouches are the most versatile food packaging option. Barrier film construction keeps contents fresh, and the stand-up format maximizes shelf and display presence.
- FDA-approved food-contact materials
- Resealable zip-lock closure
- Barrier film prevents moisture, oxygen, and light degradation
- Cost: $0.15–$0.60/unit | MOQ: 100 units
Mylar Bags
Mylar bags offer the highest barrier protection for dry goods, snacks, coffee, and supplements.
- Cost: $0.10–$0.45/unit
- Best for: Coffee, tea, nuts, dried fruits, supplements
Folding Cartons
Folding cartons (SBS paperboard) are ideal for cereal boxes, snack boxes, tea boxes, and retail-ready packaging.
- FDA-approved SBS paperboard
- Cost: $0.30–$1.00/unit
