Listed below are some of the more common markets and products that Bryce supplies; however, please contact us for additional information regarding your specific packaging needs.
Salty Snacks
The salty snack market is where the Bryce Company earned its initial success in the flexible packaging business. Consisting of a diverse assortment of potato chips, pretzels, corn chips, puffed snacks, popcorn, etc., the salty snack market continues to thrive in American culture. The Bryce Company’s proven expertise in the production of salty snack bags has shaped the evolution of the package, from its initial waxed paper design to the sophisticated metalized structures of today.
The Bryce Company has successfully produced polypropylene, polyethylene, and polyester laminations for use in the salty snack market and continues to strive for advances in these packages.
Confectionery
The Bryce Company has delivered superior packaging to some of the nation’s top confectionery manufacturers for many years. To help maintain this industry’s strength in American culture, Bryce has worked with its confectionery customers to ensure their packages evolve with the market’s trends. Producing both individual product wrappers and the outer packaging for bulk offerings, Bryce understands the exacting needs of the candy industry and the requirements for success in a competitive landscape.
Most of the products supplied to the confectionery industry include an adhesive or extrusion lamination of polypropylene and polyethylene and also must be prepped for cold seal closure. Some products also require a metalized structure for added barrier properties, and the Bryce Company is well versed in producing such structures. Specific types of confectionery products are packaged in waxed paper packages, and through its affiliation with Johnson Bryce, the Bryce Company boasts its waxing ability as one of its earliest capabilities.
Baked Goods and Cookies
Recognizing the myriad of selections on grocery store shelves, the Bryce Company understands the importance of differentiating each package for consumer appeal. It has a history of producing successful packages for top-shelf baked goods and cookies with eye-catching graphics and freshness-ensured quality. The Bryce Company embraces the symbiotic relationship among itself, its customers, and the consumer. Such recognition leads to the production of outstanding packaging for the baked goods and cookie industry.
Most of the packages for this industry involve adhesive laminations of polypropylene and polyethylene. Some also require prepping for cold seal closures.
Household Products
Packaging for household consumer products has evolved significantly over the years to satisfy consumers’ demand for convenience and re-use. As one of the suppliers enabling the change to flexible packaging, the Bryce Company capitalizes on its experience and knowledge of barrier and resistance requirements to service the consumer products market.
The laminations available for the household products market depend greatly on the specification of each individual product. The Bryce Company provides high oxygen and moisture barrier laminations, as well as coated films for wet and dry wipes and other household products.
Specialty Food
Nuts, sunflower seeds, and beef jerky are just some of the examples of “specialty food” that the Bryce Company can package. Products such as these must sustain exacting barrier properties to maintain freshness and quality. In some cases, their packages require advanced graphics for heightened shelf appeal. In other cases, these barrier and graphics requirements need to be achieved with a partially transparent package showcasing the product itself. The Bryce Company is committed to producing innovative, semi-impermeable, and graphically appealing packages to service the specialty foods market.
Since the manufacturers usually require puncture resistance, hermetic seals, and oxygen barriers to maintain freshness, the Bryce Company uses laminations of polypropylene, extruded polyethylene and polyester, and coated films to produce these packages. In addition, additives, resins, and coatings can be added to the structure to increase the strength of these properties in most cases.
Pet Food
In today’s society, pets have become integral members of our families and lives. Freshness, portability, and quality are essential in their meals and treats. The Bryce Company has long been producing small bags and stand-up pouches made of multi-layer plastic film laminations with re-closable features for treats and small meal portions.
Recently, the company has extended its capabilities to supply plastic-based large pet food bags over 15 lbs. These complex structures allow for the creation of barrier properties superior to traditional multi-wall paper bags, improvements in opening and re-closable features, and advances in graphics for consumer appeal and dominant shelf presence. In addition, Bryce uses heat seals to help eliminate the spillage issues associated with sewing. The Bryce Company offers many unique product structures to satisfy the needs of each individual customer and can provide three- or five-layer laminations with flat bottoms, side gussets, superior durability, re-closable zippers, handles, air vent valves, and more.
