Baked goods are increasingly being packaged in stand up pouches
Within the past years, manufacturers of grain products such as bread and muesli have switched from conventional bag-in-box options to flexible pouches, also known as stand up pouches or stand up bags.

Modern Machines for Cookies and Crackers
Is there anything better than watching a thriller or football match on your goggle box while nibbling crisps, crackers or cookies on your couch? But these crispy tit bits are also very popular pre-packed snacks between meals when you are on the go.

Autumn confectionery can be rather moreish
Germany’s supermarkets are full of gingerbread, ginger biscuits and other goodies these days. This can be extremely tempting, of course. Yet it’s by no means the pre-Christmas period yet. While offering “autumn confectionery”, the German packaging industry is consciously avoiding Christmas themes such as angels and Christmas trees until 29 November – the first Sunday in Advent.
Design and technology for bakery products packaging
Year after year, Germans top the list of annual per-capita consumption of baked goods in the EU: On average, about 85 kg of bakery products are consumed in Germany, including almost 817,000 packages of sliced bread and well over 300,000 units of frozen bakery products. This in turn means that producers have to ensure that both the foodstuff itself and the packaging are of premium quality.
