Options include barrier and non-barrier as well as rotogravure, flexographic, or high-definition flexographic print.

The pouch does not incorporate traditional side seals, therefore reportedly using up to 25% less material than traditional snack food packaging. It is also said to It enable brands to stand out in the snack food aisle. Applications include sweet and savory snacks, treats and dry foods, and the pouch is capable of being gas flushed during filling.
