What is snack bar, food truck and to-go packaging?

Snack bar and to-go packaging is specialised packaging for the quick preparation of food in counter sales: chip bags, snack packaging, sausage bags, deep-fried ranges, food truck specialities, bakery snack counter products.

The main requirements are speed (filling in seconds), grease and moisture protection (parchment substitute, PE inner), take-away suitability (breathable, not soaking through too quickly) and, since 2023, the reusable packaging obligation for take-away packaging.

Typical materials: wet-strength parchment substitute for greasy snacks, kraft paper with a PE inner for juicy baked goods, OPP film for sweet snack ranges, kraft paper carrier bags for take-away sales.

All materials are certified in accordance with EU 10/2011 and LMIV.

Material properties of snack bar packaging in detail

Snack bar packaging requires quick processing, grease/moisture protection and take-away suitability. The choice of material depends on the type of food and the consumption time window (immediate consumption vs. longer take-away).

Wet-strength parchment substitute 40 g/m² — the chip standard

Classic grease- and moisture-resistant paper with wet-strength sizing. The standard for chips, pretzels, deep-fried ranges. Breathable (food stays crispy) while also grease-proof (no soaking through).

Kraft paper 50–80 g/m² with PE inner

Kraft paper outer (natural or white), with a 15–25 micron LDPE coating inside. Protects against grease soaking through with sausages, doughnuts, Berliner doughnuts. Recyclable in the paper recycling stream (PE content below 5%).

Kraft paper 80–120 g/m² — carrier bags

Sturdy natural paper with a twisted paper cord as the handle. Load capacity 5–10 kg, suitable for medium-weight to-go orders. For premium snack bars, with a flat handle for up to 15 kg load capacity.

OPP film 30 microns — confectionery version

Crystal-clear polypropylene film with high brilliance for sweet snack ranges: roasted almonds, liquorice, sweets. Brilliantly transparent, printable in flexography with a premium look.

Food-grade certification

All materials are certified for direct food contact in accordance with EU 10/2011 and LMIV. Declaration of conformity (PIM) with every order on request. Migration test reports for particularly sensitive foods available.

FSC certification

On request, all paper packaging is FSC-certified — proof of sustainable forestry, important for organic snack bars and sustainable food truck concepts.

Sustainability — snack bar packaging and the reusable packaging law

Since January 2023, take-away businesses above a certain size have been obliged to offer reusable alternatives. Snack bar packaging is therefore a central topic in Germany's reusable packaging law and the EU Packaging Regulation (PPWR).

Paper recycling in the snack bar material stream

Pure paper cone bags and uncoated snack bar carrier bags are fully recyclable in the paper recycling stream. When heavily soiled with grease, they belong in the residual waste, as recycling is impaired.

PE-coated snack bar packaging

Gusset bags and cone bags with a PE inner (content below 5%) remain recyclable in the paper recycling stream. With a thicker PE coating, disposal is via the Gelber Sack — the snack bar packaging remains PPWR-compliant through monomaterial recycling.

Reusable concepts and PP non-woven bags

For reusable snack bar concepts we recommend cotton or PP non-woven drawstring bags with a service life of 50–100 uses. Ecologically worthwhile from around 10 uses compared with single-use carrier bags. Deposit systems can be integrated.

Compostable snack bar packaging

Fully compostable cone bags and carrier bags made from FSC kraft paper with a PLA coating in accordance with EN 13432. Industrially compostable in 12 weeks. Suitable for dry snacks, not for heavily greasy foods (PLA degrades with extreme grease).

Material efficiency in counter sales

The correct portion size is the most important lever for reducing material. Advice on optimal cone bag sizing for your standard portion sizes on request.
