Our portion control packaging is built for the way candy is actually sold today: fun-size, bite-size, and snack-size formats that support multipacks, on-the-go snacking, and individually wrapped pieces inside a larger bag. We engineer these structures to hold their seal integrity through high-speed packaging lines without compromising the experience customers expect when unwrapping a product.

For enrobed and chocolate-based confections, we also offer Cold Seal Technology, a sealing method that requires no heat, making it ideal for chocolate and other enrobed or temperature-sensitive products. Cold seal prevents melt-related seal failures while running at higher line speeds with less waste, a critical advantage for chocolate packagers.

Our technical team provides comprehensive support throughout the entire development process, from initial design through final functionality.

Kendall Packaging optimizes your product’s performance and market appeal by precisely meeting package fill-weight requirements, processing efficiency needs, puncture-resistance specifications, seal strength parameters, aesthetic goals, and cost objectives. Optional reclosable features deliver added convenience for today’s mobile consumers.

Our comprehensive candy packaging solutions include:

Complete your package with consumer-focused finishing features including precision tear notches for effortless access, innovative closure systems for enhanced portability, and transparent product windows for visual appeal. We also engineer shelf-stable solutions for portion-control applications, and versatile stand-up bags or preformed pouches.
