Complete guide to dry staple packaging: basmati rice, lentils, dal, flour, and dry fruits. Balancing optical transparency with heavy load strength.
Dry food staples—including lentils, pulses, basmati rice, specialty flours, and dried fruits—require heavy-duty flexible barrier pouches engineered for high tensile puncture resistance. Transparent pouches allow shoppers to inspect grain purity, while hybrid (transparent front / metallised back) pouches provide visual display backed by heavy moisture barrier protection.

Staple foods like rice, lentils, and pulses are heavy, granular, and prone to pest infestation if stored in porous paper or thin plastic bags. Multi-layer barrier pouches provide an impenetrable defense against moisture, odors, and insects.
Standardized specifications relevant to Pouches for Dry Foods & Grains.
Pactrum uses multi-layer laminated films with high-density linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE) sealant plies engineered specifically to absorb sharp particle impact without micro-puncturing.
