Description: Suji Korean Cuisine offers several formats of retail foods to their consumers in cardboard, rigid, and flexible packaging. The Korean Style Grilled Beef Patty Reclosable Pouch is the company’s first multiple-serve offering. It offers four patties that can be cooked individually with the remaining patties left in the stand-up pouch. The consumer closes the zipper and returns the unused patties to the freezer, which minimizes moisture build-up inside the package, thereby extending shelf-life. A stand-up pouch gives Suji much more space on the package for graphics which allows them to create a product that more effectively markets their product by increasing shelf appeal.
