The final phase involves portioning, sealing, and shipping. Chips are weighed and carefully placed into multi-layered bags that incorporate moisture barriers and block light and oxygen. These barriers preserve freshness, crunch, and flavor until consumers open the bag.
Sealing is performed with heat to create airtight envelopes, often labeled with batch numbers and expiration dates for traceability. The sealed bags are then packed into cartons and loaded onto pallets for distribution.
