Global headquarters, present day
Yulie and Blevyn Nutzenbågen, 2024
Founded by Yulie and Blevyn Nutzenbågen. Trusted by travelers in over 60 countries.
The Nut BAGs™ is a global leader in portable snack containment systems.
What began as a calculated response to market inefficiency has evolved into a category-defining methodology with a singular focus: restoring rational economic behavior to the travel snacking ecosystem.
The company operates with minimal overhead, zero venture capital, and a commitment to solving exactly one problem exceptionally well.
Dr. Yulie Nutzenbågen holds a PhD in Behavioral Nutritional Economics from the Stockholm Institute of Applied Consumer Studies, where her dissertation, "Portability Premiums: The Hidden Costs of Convenience-Driven Caloric Acquisition in Transit Environments," received modest academic attention and zero industry funding.
Her research examined the intersection of spatial constraints, decision fatigue, and nutrient density optimization—specifically, why intelligent people consistently make poor snacking choices when removed from their primary food environments.
Prior to founding The Nut BAGs™, Dr. Nutzenbågen spent six years as a visiting research fellow at the Center for Rational Consumption, where she published seventeen peer-reviewed papers on topics including "The Airport Premium Effect," "Carry-On Calorie Calculus," and "Psychological Barriers to Pre-Journey Food Preparation."
Her work has been cited in behavioral economics journals, ignored by airport operators, and quietly validated by thousands of travelers who now pack their own nuts.
Blevyn Nutzenbågen is a materials engineer and recovering perfectionist with a documented history of solving problems that others fail to recognize as problems.
Before co-founding The Nut BAGs™, he spent seven years in aerospace supply chain logistics, optimizing payload distribution for commercial satellite launches. His work focused on weight reduction, thermal stability, and vibration resistance—skills that translated seamlessly to the demands of portable nut storage.
Blevyn holds multiple patents related to container design, including a modular luggage compression system that was licensed but never manufactured, and a self-stabilizing beverage holder for use in autonomous vehicles. Both projects were technically sound but economically questionable.
He is known internally for his insistence on triple-sealed packaging and his refusal to compromise on ziplock integrity.
The Nut BAGs™ remains independently owned, deliberately focused, and allergic to unnecessary complexity.
While the methodology has scaled globally, the philosophy has not changed.
Good containers make better decisions possible.
