We currently do all our packaging by hand and our demand is reaching the level where we are unable to meet it using our current methods. Looking for any advice on what others have done to solve similar issues. We currently use a foil wrap with a paper cover.
Easiest shift from foil/paper wrap is to a pouch/box system. Look for metallized barrier pouches, many manufacturers carry them, and those can be made and printed to your specs. It's a much faster procedure to slip the bar in the pouch, seal and box. I'm right in the middle of doing exactly that switch. I sourced my materials locally.
