Food Grade Paper Tubes
Snack Foods
Snack foods provide a unique opportunity for us to show our technical advantage. Poly-foil inside is heat sealed and metal tops are applied with a “double hook” seam to insure we provide a can that can lock out oxygen and moisture. Use our compounded metal bottoms to prolong shelf life and insure that your customers always have a fresh product.
We can also provide a foil membrane top that reduces waste and protects the consumer against rough edges. The overcap maintains freshness after opening.
Add your label or label after filing and you have just the can you need to keep your product in from of your customers.
Snack Food Can Performance Requirements
Snack food packaging must protect product freshness, prevent oxygen and moisture intrusion, and maintain structural integrity throughout filling, sealing, and distribution. Cans used for chips, nuts, mixes, and other dry snacks require reliable barrier systems and secure closures to preserve flavor, texture, and shelf life. Consistent sealing performance is essential for meeting food safety expectations and supporting retail presentation.
Material and Construction Considerations
Snack food cans typically incorporate poly foil interior linings that are heat sealed to create a strong barrier against air and humidity. Metal tops applied with a double hook seam provide a tight mechanical seal, while compounded metal bottoms add rigidity and extend product life. Optional foil membrane tops help reduce waste, protect consumers from sharp edges, and support tamper evident packaging. Overcaps maintain freshness after opening and improve resealability for multi use products.
Fit for Food Grade Applications
Snack food cans must comply with food contact standards while supporting high speed filling lines and retail ready labeling. Full coverage labeling options allow manufacturers to display branding, nutritional information, and regulatory content. Custom sizing, graphics, and closure configurations help brands differentiate on the shelf while ensuring the product remains protected from environmental exposure.
