As e-commerce continues its meteoric rise, the significance of retail packaging has reached new heights.

Too Many Pumpkins

Shinsuke Kita x reader

Flufftober Day 4- Too Many Pumpkins

WC: 2.3k

- After a successful morning at the farmers market, Shinsuke finds an unexpected gift in his truck.

There are two types of people in the world. Those who wake up at the crack of dawn on Saturday mornings and those who don't. Usually, you fall into the second category, but thanks to the gentle coaxing and sweet promises from your Partner, you find yourself miles away from home, organizing little bags of rice on Shinsuke's wooden vendor stall for the last Farmers Market of the season.

Ever since the market opened, you have had a line at your till; a few people come to your little stand hoping to just buy one bag of rice but find themselves reaching for another after they catch a glimpse of Shinsuke's stunning smile. You understand, but are thankful though that he uses those good looks of his for good and not evil, because if he decided that after high school he wanted to start a pyramid scheme or a cult, you probably would still be with him.

When the clock in the square chimes on the hour you glance around your stand to find only your empty little display boxes on the counter. Accomplishment blooms in your chest, as you see Shinsuke walking back from helping an older customer, carry her bags out to her car. (Because, of course, he is)

"How are we doing?" he asks, wrapping his arms around your waist. 

With a satisfied grin, you turn your head and lean into his embrace, "We are completely sold out." you hmm.

His eyes widen in shock as they flicker between you and his now-bare tabletop. "Everything? Even the large bags behind the counter."

"Those went first," You chuckle, peering down at the table and looking for anything you may have missed. "I don't even think there's one grain of rice left to spare."

"Oh my, that's wonderful. I should leave you in charge more often." he smiles, but it fades slightly as he scans the tent. "Are you looking for something?" You bite your lower lip worriedly. Is it possible you forgot something when you were running the stand for him?

"Nothing like that at all; I just forgot that I have one last delivery to make before we can call it a day." He reaches into the pocket of a cloth bag and pulls out the last bag of rice of the season. This one, in particular, is tied neatly with a cute little bow printed with pumpkins and bats.

"That's adorable, who is that for?"  You ask wondering who from his farmers market family he set this aside for.

"It's for Ms.Kaho. Do you remember her?" 

You nod. Ms. Kaho is the sweetest old lady ever; she runs a huge produce stand a few tents down from you and seems to have a new embellished sweater for every occasion. Every time you visit her stall, she has you 'quality check' her fruit of the week and sends you on your way with a new story about someone you have never met and some serious grandmotherly advice.

Needless to say, you would let the world burn for that little lady.

"I could bring it to her," you offer immediately. "Then, when I get back, we can explore the rest of the market."

"Thank you, that would be great," he says, setting the pouch into your outstretched hand. You can tell he is itching to clean up. He hasn't outgrown his diligent habits from his youth, nor is he likely to do so anytime soon. Which works out for you because you have no clue how to dismantle that wooden table he sets up.

Stepping out into the market, you see tents sprawled out all over the town square. It's busier than the other weekends as people pass by you with their arms full of freshly cut flowers and little pumpkins. You weave through the crowd to Ms. Kaho's large produce stand. 

You see her bright orange pumpkin sweater and her wide-brimmed straw hat talking to a customer when she notices you. She greets you with a wide coral-painted smile and immediately hobbles over to you with outstretched arms. 

"Y/n, it is so good to see you, dear," she says, squeezing you tightly. "How is the rice selling today."

"It's going well," you wheeze. "We actually just sold out a few minutes ago, but we wanted to give you this as a little gift." You hold out her little rice bag to her, and her face lights up like a Christmas tree. 

"Oh, aren't you the sweetest thing," she gushes, grabbing the rice bag with her fall-themed acrylics, "You're Not leaving yet, are you?"

"No, we are planning on walking around for a bit," you answer, knowing you are walking into a trap. 

She claps her hands together, "Wonderful, I just have a little gift for you two, but I'll just slip it into your truck before you go."

"Thank you, but you have done so much for us already," you say with a sweet smile. "I'd hate to take anything from y.." 

"Nonsense," she huffs, slipping her rice bag behind her cash box. "What kind of friend would I be if I let Yumie's family go hungry during the winter? You kids go enjoy the rest of the market, and I'll just drop it in your truck."

Before you can say anything else on the subject, she expertly steers you out of her tent and pushes you away with a sweet little goodbye.

~

"Come on, Shin," you frown, crossing your arms as the two of you walk back to his truck. "You have to let me hold something."

"I have no idea what you are talking about," he says bluntly as if he doesn't have bags filled with everything from soap to sourdough weighing down his arms. Having sold his entire stock, he is in a great mood and is spoiling you relentlessly, buying everything that you look at for more than three seconds. The most recent addition is a crochet little ghost plushie holding a piece of candy corn. 

You are nearing the parking lot when suddenly Shinsuke stops in his tracks. "Oh my…" Following his gaze, your eyes land on his truck, and your eyes nearly bug out of your head. "His truck bed, having been completely empty when you last left it, is now filled to the brim with pumpkins and squashes of all shapes and sizes.

"Did someone use your truck to rob a pumpkin patch?" you ask in a whisper. 

"It looks like Ms. Kaho is at it again," he sighs, shaking his head. And you immediately remember your conversation with the elderly farmer at her produce stand. 

"She said she has a gift for you," you say. "But I didn't realize that this is what she meant."

He laughs, "I should've warned you; she has a tendency to go over the top when giving gifts. One time, when I was a boy, I told her I liked a certain brand of seaweed chips, and she proceeded to give me a pallet of them for Christmas.

"Oh dear.." you say, imagining little ten-year-old Shinsuke unwrapping a mountain of chips. But looking at the sight in front of you brings you back to reality. "But there are just so many of them. Do you think we could bring a few back to her? I'd hate to take away her product."

He frowns. "That's not gonna happen; she's as stubborn as they come; when she puts her mind to something, there isn't much that will change it. Not to mention, her farm is the largest in the county, she grows so many pumpkins, this load isn't making a dent in her stores."

"So what are we going to do?"

"for now, we should get home; we can figure out what we're going to do with all these pumpkins there."

~

It was just before noon when you two pulled up the gravel driveway of Shinsuke's farm. The Sun peeks through the thinning clouds and shines off of the literal cornucopia in the bed of his faded blue truck.

Since Shinsuke insisted on unloading the pumpkins himself, you have busied yourself with sorting the various gourds into piles based on size and variety.

"88"

"89"

"Anddd 90." Just to be sure, you scan the room looking for any stragglers when Shinsuke slips off his boots at the door. "I think we got all of them."

"Not quite," he says, reaching into his pocket and pulling out the smallest little orange and white speckled pumpkin you have ever seen. "This one was hiding in the back."

"It's so tiny," you say, taking it from his hand eagerly. And adding it to the top of the mini pumpkin pile on the kitchen table. "These little ones would be great for decorations."

"That's true," he muses, admiring all your hard work. "These Kabocha Squashes store really well, I can ask my grandmother for a few of her recipes so I can make them for you."

"That would be great," your mouth begins to water at the thought of trying another one of Yumie's family recipes. Glancing down at the next pile you see that these pumpkins are bright orange but are just a bit larger in size than a softball. "What about the others?"

"Oh, those are pie pumpkins, I believe," he says knowledgeably. "They are great for canning and making puree; the others can be used for that too, but there are just too many and not enough canning supplies, so he says that you can just use those and roast their seeds."

"I thought you had lots of canning stuff; what happened to it?" You ask, recalling the huge stash of supplies you stumbled across in his barn a few months ago. His cheeks turn a rare pink as he glances down at the floor. Apparently, this isn't the first time Ms. Kaho has surprised him with one of her gifts.

Glancing down at the last batch of pumpkins, you see they are the large, stereotypical kind that one associate with fall. "How about these ones? Do you think we have time to carve out thirty Jack o lanterns?"

He lets out a low chuckle at your little joke as he walks across the room to the pile and inspects them carefully. After a minute or two, he reaches through them, pulls out two perfect-looking ones, and places them on the counter. "How about 2 Jack o lanterns?"

"That would be fun, but what about the rest?" you ask, knowing that you still have too many pumpkins.

"Would you mind if I borrow you for the rest of the day?" he asks in a tone you can't quite place. "I have an Idea about how we can fix our little problem."

~

For the second time today, you find yourself sitting comfortably in Shinsuke's passenger seat; your boyfriend has a soft little grin on his face as he grips the wheel with one hand and fiddles with your fingers with the other.

Despite your best efforts, he will not tell you anything about where you are going or what you are going to do with the 29 (you counted) pumpkins in the back. But this little spontaneous adventure is thrilling nevertheless. 

"Will you please tell me where we are going?" you ask softly. Taking his hand, you raise it to your lips and kiss the tips of his fingers lightly, hoping that a little bribery with his favorite currency will get him to talk. 

He shakes his head and exhales lightly. "We are almost there, just a few more minutes." His tone is stern yet loving, and you know that no matter what you do, his resolve will not waiver. 

With a huff, you turn away and glance out the window, watching as houses and parks pass you by until he slows down and pulls in front of a familiar-looking house.

"Looks like he's home," he murmurs, and you try so hard to figure out who he is talking about. 

"Are you ready?" he asks, and you turn your head, but before you can ask him what he means, he is sliding out of his car seat. You follow his lead as he grabs two pumpkins from the back and hands one to you. 

Holding his finger to his lips, his eyes are alive with life as he creeps up to the front door of the house. Noisily, you see a package on the front porch and squint to look at the label. A. Miya, and it hits you; this is the home of your boyfriend's former teammate from Irizaki High School. 

Shinsuke diligently sets the pumpkin on his friend's porch, and you smile; seeing this playful side of your boyfriend is rare, but you love it just as much as his diligent, serious side. Crouching down, you set it carefully on the professional volleyball player's front step. "Get ready to run."

"Run?" you parrot, watching in confusion as he raises his fist to the door and raps loudly on the wood. Without skipping a beat, he spins around and grabs your hand as you run back to the truck. Even in his haste, he opens the door for you before zipping around to the driver's side. 

The sound of your heavy breathing fills the truck as you drive around the corner, stopping a safe distance away from the house. 

"This. Was your plan?" you pant, placing your hand on your chest to feel your racing heart.

"Yes…" he says, looking at you with pink cheeks. "What do you think?"

"I think…" you pause, letting your lips curve up into a sly smile. "I think I want to know where we are going next."

The Evolution and Importance of Food Packaging Bags

In today’s world, food packaging bags are essential for preserving the quality, safety, and freshness of the food we consume. As global demand for packaged food continues to rise, food packaging has become an integral part of the food industry. Food packaging bags come in various forms, materials, and functions, each designed to serve specific purposes—from extending shelf life to enhancing convenience and sustainability.

In this post, we’ll explore the types, benefits, and future trends in food packaging bags, shedding light on why these seemingly simple products are so crucial in the food supply chain.

1. Types of Food Packaging Bags

Food packaging bags come in different types, each with unique features suited for various food products. Some of the most common types include:

Stand-Up Pouches: These are flexible bags with a gusseted bottom that allows the pouch to stand upright, making them ideal for snack foods, frozen meals, and beverages. They’re lightweight, easy to store, and often include a resealable zipper for added convenience.

Vacuum Sealed Bags: Often used for meat, seafood, and cheese, vacuum-sealed bags remove air from the packaging to prevent spoilage and extend shelf life. These bags provide a tight seal, keeping products fresh for longer periods.

Rollstock Bags: Used primarily for bulk food packaging, rollstock bags are flat, unsealed bags that are rolled into a machine and then sealed to create custom-sized bags. These are often used in packaging frozen foods, meats, or snacks.

Pillow Pouches: This classic design has a simple cylindrical shape, typically used for products like chips, candy, and cereals. The pillow pouch is easy to stack, store, and display on shelves, making it a popular choice in retail settings.

Bags with Window Panels: Some food packaging bags have transparent sections that allow customers to see the contents inside. These bags are commonly used for items like coffee, nuts, and baked goods, where consumers want to inspect the quality or quantity of the product.

2. Benefits of Food Packaging Bags

The primary role of food packaging bags is to protect and preserve food, but they offer a wide range of additional benefits:

Protection and Freshness: Food packaging bags help preserve the quality and freshness of products by protecting them from moisture, air, light, and contaminants. For example, vacuum-sealed bags and foil pouches are designed to extend shelf life by preventing oxidation and bacterial growth.

Convenience and Portability: Many food packaging bags are designed for on-the-go use, making them perfect for busy consumers who need quick meals or snacks. Resealable bags, for instance, allow consumers to open and close the packaging multiple times without compromising the freshness of the food.

Branding and Marketing: Packaging is an essential marketing tool for food products. Food packaging bags can be printed with vibrant colors, logos, and product information to attract consumers. A well-designed food bag can make a product stand out on a crowded shelf and help build brand recognition.

Sustainability: As consumer demand for eco-friendly products increases, manufacturers are turning to more sustainable materials for food packaging bags. Biodegradable, recyclable, and compostable options are now available, allowing food companies to reduce their environmental footprint while maintaining product protection.

3. Sustainability in Food Packaging

With growing concern about plastic waste, the food packaging industry is evolving to become more sustainable. Traditional plastic packaging, while effective in preserving food, can contribute to environmental issues when not disposed of properly. In response, there has been a push for greener alternatives in food packaging bags.

Some of the most promising eco-friendly innovations include:

Biodegradable Materials: Some food packaging bags are now made from plant-based plastics or other biodegradable materials that break down more easily in landfills, reducing their impact on the environment.

Recyclable Packaging: Many companies are adopting recyclable materials like PET (polyethylene terephthalate), which can be processed into new packaging or other products.

Edible Packaging: In the future, we may even see edible food packaging bags made from natural materials like seaweed, rice, or corn. These bags can be consumed along with the food, reducing waste and providing an innovative solution to packaging.

4. The Future of Food Packaging Bags

The future of food packaging bags will likely focus on even more sustainable and efficient solutions. Here are some trends to watch:

Smart Packaging: With the rise of the Internet of Things (IoT), we could see food packaging bags that incorporate smart technology, such as sensors to monitor the freshness or temperature of the food. This could help reduce food waste and ensure better quality control.

Minimalist Packaging: As part of the sustainability movement, there may be a growing shift towards minimalist packaging that uses fewer materials while still providing the necessary protection and functionality.

Innovative Materials: Research into alternative materials, such as edible films, plant-based plastics, and even algae-based packaging, could revolutionize the food packaging industry, reducing reliance on traditional plastics and promoting more eco-friendly solutions.

Food packaging bags play a vital role in ensuring that our know more food remains fresh, safe, and accessible. As the industry continues to evolve, the focus will increasingly be on sustainability, convenience, and the ability to protect the quality of food while reducing environmental impact. Whether you’re a manufacturer or a consumer, understanding the types, benefits, and innovations in food packaging bags can help you make more informed choices about the products you purchase and the future of packaging.

Budget Allocation: This initial research requires minimal spending but is essential to building a business that resonates with customers. You may want to invest in market research (around ₹2,000 to ₹5,000) if you’re looking to understand trends deeply.

2. Build a Simple Ecommerce Website

Investing in a user-friendly, attractive website is key to gaining customers’ trust. Opt for a basic ecommerce website with essential features such as product pages, shopping cart functionality, and secure payment gateways.

Total Website Cost: Approximately ₹20,000 - ₹25,000

3. Source Quality Tea Suppliers

To succeed in the tea business, sourcing high-quality tea leaves and ingredients is non-negotiable. Since this is an ecommerce setup, you’ll need to ensure a reliable supplier who can meet demand without compromising quality.

Supplier Options

Local Farms: Consider sourcing from local tea farms, which can be cost-effective and appeal to customers interested in regional blends.

Bulk Tea Wholesalers: Buy tea leaves in bulk to keep costs low.

Specialty Blenders: If you’re focusing on unique or rare teas, look for blenders who offer small-batch, artisan teas.

Cost Estimate

Allocate approximately ₹20,000 - ₹30,000 for your initial inventory. Start with a limited variety to gauge demand and keep inventory costs down.

4. Develop Brand Packaging on a Budget

Packaging is a key element for an ecommerce tea brand. While there are many premium packaging options, you can achieve quality packaging without exceeding your budget.

Cost-Effective Packaging Options

Kraft Paper Pouches: These eco-friendly options are both affordable and appealing to eco-conscious consumers.

Are Stand-Up Pouches Right For Food Packaging?

Stand-Up Pouches for Food Packaging 

As mentioned above, stand-up pouches have been gaining traction in various industries for their usability and durability. The food industry stays somewhere at the top of those industries. They have brought significant innovation to the food packaging industry, revolutionizing the way both perishable and non-perishable food products are stored, displayed, and even consumed. Especially for frozen food items, these pouches are simply game-changers. The best part about these pouches that have made them the savior of the entire food industry is their ability to preserve the item’s freshness and extend its shelf life. These pouches have high-barrier properties that effectively block out moisture, oxygen, and light, keeping the food inside safe and preserved from any sort of spoilage.

Companies can print vibrant, high-resolution designs directly on the pouches and can stand out from the rest of the brand from the competition. Consumers love aesthetic and appealing packaging, so you can be as creative as you want.

Sustainable Bags 

As environmental awareness is increasing globally, the demand for sustainable bags has skyrocketed, because of course, who would want the harmful plastic bags that increase their carbon footprint? Businesses and consumers alike are prioritizing packaging solutions that minimize environmental harm in any way, this has led to a surge in demand for sustainable packaging which prominently consists of sustainable packaging bags and sustainable courier bags. These eco-friendly alternatives are usually made from materials that are either recyclable, biodegradable or easily compostable, making them an excellent substitute for typical plastic bags that have drastic impacts on the environment and cause pollution. 

For instance, sustainable shopping bags are designed for reusable purposes, offering strength and durability while also reducing the reliance on disposable options. And just like that, sustainable courier bags are also gaining traction as companies also prefer to be environmentally friendly while even having the products shipped. Adopting sustainable packaging options can foster customer loyalty, as more and more consumers are seeking environment-friendly products these days.

ASEAN Flexible Packaging: Flexible Packaging Gaining Popularity in ASEAN Region

Emergence of ASEAN Flexible Packaging Flexible packaging has seen tremendous growth in the ASEAN region over the past decade. As consumer lifestyles and shopping habits have evolved, flexible packaging formats have emerged as a popular alternative to rigid containers for various food and consumer goods products. Flexible packaging offers advantages like lightweight construction, ease of opening, re-sealability, and ability to fit irregular shapes that appeal both to manufacturers and customers. Films made from materials like plastic, paper, aluminum foil and their combinations are commonly used in the manufacture of flexible packages. Pouches, bags, wraps and rolls are some of the popular flexible packaging formats utilized by brands.

Rise of the Convenience Culture The on-the-go lifestyles led by urban consumers in the ASEAN Flexible Packaging have driven the need for portable and convenient packaging options. Flexible packages that can be easily handled and stored are ideal for packed meals, snacks and beverages consumed outside the home. Their compact sizes allow consumers to tuck the packages into bags or carry them conveniently. Products packaged in flexible films can also be resealed after initial opening and enjoyed later, reducing wastage. This appeals to the budgets and environmentally conscious mindsets of millennial consumers. The growth of the quick service restaurants industry and on-demand delivery services further popularizes flexible packages designed for takeaway consumption.

Advantages over ASEAN Flexible Packaging While rigid containers like bottles, cans and cartons continue to be used for certain products, flexible packaging scores over them on key parameters. Their lightweight plastic, paper or laminate films require 30-50% less material to produce compared to glass or metal containers. This makes flexible packages more energy efficient and cheaper to transport. The lack of rigid infrastructure also enables flexible formats to be produced in various shapes, sizes and customized designs as per the product. Their efficient space-filling abilities allow more units per truck or shipping container compared to rigid packs. All these factors make flexible packaging an attractive option from a cost and sustainability perspective for brands.

Expanding Application Areas Over the past decade, flexible packaging has expanded beyond traditional FMCG categories like food and beverages to see wider adoption in other industries as well. In the pharmaceutical sector, medicines, capsules and ointments are increasingly packed in lightweight and tamper-evident foil and laminate pouches. The cosmetics industry has also moved from jars and tubes to stand-up pouches and zipper bags for products like compacts, creams and serums. Other sectors witnessing growth in flexible packaging usage include automotive, pet care products and agriculture inputs. Innovative formats like re-closable stand-up pouches and spit pouches have enabled flexible packs to replace rigid cans in categories like pet food as well.

Rise of Digital and Sustainable Packaging Digital print technology and sustainable materials are two emerging trends influencing the flexible packaging sector in ASEAN. Digital printing enables versioning of pack designs, variable data and personalization at mass production scales - an advantage driving brands to promote their products through vivid flexible packaging graphics. At the same time, consumer demand for eco-friendly packaging has motivated manufacturers to produce flexible films from renewable, recyclable and compostable paper and plastic materials. Features like minimal overwrap and ease of disposal make flexible packages incorporating sustainable attributes a viable green solution. As environmental regulations in the region get stricter, sustainable flexible packaging formats will play a bigger role.

Opportunities for Advanced Manufacturing The steady growth projected for ASEAN's flexible packaging market is attracting global flexible packaging converters to set up advanced manufacturing units in the region. Machinery and technology for producing various flexible packaging formats like stand-up pouches, flow wraps, vacuum skins are being locally sourced. Home-grown flexible packaging converters are also upgrading with state-of-the-art converting lines to offer innovative formats, custom designs, and value-added services under one roof. Importantly, the incorporation of Industry 4.0 concepts like automation, digitization and internet of things promises to enhance flexible packaging production efficiencies and quality control going forward. All these developments are set to boost ASEAN's flexible packaging manufacturing competitiveness on the global scale.

Rising Demand across Consumer Segments All major socio-economic segments within the ASEAN region present growing opportunities for flexible packaging. The burgeoning middle and affluent urban populations seek flexible packs for their perceived premium appeal and convenience. At the same time, flexible pouches and laminates are also cost-effective for low unit price segments targeting rural communities or food-insecure demographics. Their versatility to package small quantities at affordable price points helps companies reach price-sensitive consumers across all income levels. With ASEAN's combined population projected to exceed 700 million by 2030, the long-term demand drivers remain favorable for flexible packaging to gain further penetration within the region's diverse consumer base.

The flexible packaging sector has emerged as a key beneficiary of ASEAN's economic growth and transformation towards modern retail channels and lifestyles. Homegrown manufacturers and multinational converters have strengthened flexible packaging capabilities in the region over the past decade through investments, partnerships and technology adoption. Backed by a vibrant consumer market and opportunities across industries, the ASEAN flexible packaging industry offers tremendous potential for further expansion, innovation and global competitiveness in the times to come.
