Here are some of the best-selling snack types today that can be a recommendation for selling snacks.


1. Basreng:

West Java snacks made from thinly sliced and deep-fried fish or meatballs are one of the many popular snacks in Indonesia today. To stay relevant to the changing interests and needs of the market, this type of snack can be developed in terms of flavor variants. In addition to the original flavor, basreng can be varied with various spices such as spicy, cheese, and other spices to add flavor. With creativity and the right marketing strategy, the basreng business can become a stable source of income and even grow into a bigger business.


2. Spicy Macaroni:

This type of snack is one of the most timeless snacks to date. Its crunchy texture and spicy seasoning make it the perfect companion for all occasions and all walks of life. The relatively affordable price of the raw materials and the ease of the production process allow this product to be produced on a large scale without sacrificing quality. You can make many innovations to upgrade this snack into a more special snack. From customizable spiciness levels to unique flavor combinations like cheese, barbeque, or even fusion flavors. With innovation, you can deliver products that are always interesting and relevant to market trends.


3. Glass Chips:

Glass chips are a unique snack made from tapioca flour cooked until transparent and thin like glass. Its crunchy texture and savory taste make glass chips a favorite choice of many people. This type of snack is an interesting business idea, especially in Indonesia where people tend to like savory and spicy snacks. To further strengthen the position in the market, innovation is constantly needed. Some innovation ideas include developing more diverse flavors, attractive packaging designs, and collaboration with other brands. With the right marketing strategy, the glass chips business can grow rapidly and become one of the successful culinary businesses.


4. Spinach Chips:

Who would have thought that the green vegetables we usually find at the dinner table, such as spinach, are now transformed into crunchy and delicious snacks? In the past, spinach was only considered as a complementary ingredient for daily cooking. However, over time, people's creativity gave birth to a new innovation, namely spinach chips, which are currently sold in the market with quite high demand. With very affordable capital, you can start a spinach chips business and participate in the growing culinary trend.


5. Tempe Chips:

The tempe chips business is one of the most promising home-based snack businesses. With relatively small capital and easily available raw materials, anyone can start this business. However, to differentiate your product from competitors, innovation is needed, perhaps by adding flavor variants. Although tempe chips are generally known for their original savory taste, you can give them a modern touch by presenting a variety of contemporary flavors such as cheese, onion, spicy, barbeque, and even truffle, which is currently popular. With a variety of flavors, your tempe chips will not only attract consumers who are already familiar with this product, but will also succeed in attracting new consumers.


Crispy and delicious chips will certainly be less appealing if they arrive at their destination in a crumbled or fragile state. Therefore, choosing the right packaging material and technique is crucial. One of the tips for packing snacks for business is to use a plastic tray in the plastic snack packaging. One of them is Tray TR 1 from SOPRA which is able to provide extra protection to minimize physical damage such as crumbling or crushing your product during the shipping process. Not only that, the use of Tray TR 1 also provides added value to your product packaging. With its neat and sturdy design, your products will look more premium and exclusive, giving a professional impression that can increase attractiveness in the eyes of consumers. Good packaging is not just a matter of function, but also part of a branding strategy that creates a positive image of your business. Apart from aesthetics, this tray is also designed with storage efficiency in mind. Tray TR 1 can make snacks more organized, making it easier to store and save space. This tray allows packaging to be organized more practically, both in the warehouse, during shipping, and on display shelves. With these advantages, SOPRA's TR 1 Tray helps take your products to the next level, ensuring that the packaging not only protects but also increases the overall value of the product.
