Generally, the food industry is a huge market.
For fin seal pouches specifically, this food market can be expanded into the dry, inflatable, confectionary, and miscellaneous foods.
Dry foods include nuts, cookies, various snacks.
Inflatable foods mainly mean chips.
Confectionary foods encompass gummies, chocolate, gum, and various hard candy.
Other types of food include noodles, teas, powder sauces, and spices.
Sometimes, fin seal pouches are also used to package toys and a lot of other products.
Another surprising application is packaging magazines, collector cards, and promotional material!

As the image shows, packaging protects not from dust, dirt, or theft, but from other – microscopic – things.
For one, good packaging has to be air-tight, so that enticing food aromas stay inside while keeping oxygen outside.
Oxygen is a natural catalyst, increasing the rate at which products spoil.
Thus, to keep food fresh, oxygen needs to stay out.
Even with candy, oxygen can dry them out, leaving behind a sticky mess.
Another important thing is to keep various contaminants out.
These may include dust, industrial chemicals, bacteria, fungi, metals, and other toxins.
Carbon dioxide is good to keep inside the package since it dilutes and reduces the amount of oxygen, thus, preserving food.
Finally, some pouches can shield against UV rays, which also may reduce the shelf life of your products.
