TPG-SSolutions / Stand-up pouches / Spices & seasonings
Stand-up pouches for spices & seasonings.
Ground spices lose their volatile oils to air and light, and fine powders get into zippers and seals. A spice pouch has to hold aroma and still seal cleanly.
What spices & seasonings packaging has to do.
- 01Aroma barrierVolatile oils escape through low-barrier films. Metallised or foil laminates keep spices fresher than clear film.
- 02Light protectionLight fades colour in spices such as paprika and turmeric. Opaque films help.
- 03Clean seals with powderPowder in the seal area weakens heat seals. Leave a clean fill zone, and consider a wider seal.
- 04Allergen labelingSeasoning blends often contain major allergens such as wheat, milk, soy or sesame; FDA requires them to be declared (sesame since 2023).

Questions.
01Are kraft pouches good for spices?
Kraft alone has little barrier. Kraft laminated with metallised PET and a PE seal layer gives the look plus protection.
02How long do ground spices stay fresh in a pouch?
It depends on the spice and the film. High-barrier, opaque pouches slow flavour loss more than clear ones.
03Can I use the same pouch for whole and ground spices?
Usually yes, but whole spices are bulkier per ounce, so the bag size changes.
