With the rapid development of society, people‘s living standards are gradually improving, and more and more people are keeping pets. People use pets as emotional sustenance to meet our emotional needs. Therefore, the pet food market is gradually expanding, and market competition is becoming increasingly fierce, highlighting the importance of pet food packaging. Today, Giant Packaging analyzes the materials and bag types of pet food packaging for you, hoping to extend the shelf life of pet food and provide better service to consumers.

material quality

The packaging bag for cat/dog food is made of plastic material, which has barrier, heat resistance, and sealing properties. It can prevent food spoilage, which is to prevent the oxidation of vitamins in food. Generally, multi-layer plastic composites are chosen, including PET/AL/PE, PET/NY/PE, PET/MPET/PE, PET/AL/PET/PE, PET/NY/AL/PE, PET/NY/AL/RCPP, high-temperature dry distillation wet grain bags, soft canned packaging, etc.

We have found that in plastic composite co extruded films, aluminum foil is often used because aluminum foil packaging bags have good barrier properties. Blocking air, sunlight, oil, and moisture, almost all substances cannot penetrate; Aluminum foil packaging bags have good airtightness; Aluminum foil packaging bags have excellent shading properties, as well as good oil resistance and softness.

People who have owned pets should know that both cat and dog food should be kept in direct contact with sunlight as much as possible. Prolonged exposure to sunlight can cause it to spoil; Also, do not place it in a cool place as it will spoil and mold after a period of time, so most pet snack packaging will use aluminum foil.

Bag type

Common bag types for pet food packaging include three sided sealing, four sided sealing, eight sided sealing, self-supporting bags, and irregular bags.

Trilateral sealing

In terms of bag shape, three sided sealing is the simplest and most common. Has good airtightness, excellent moisturizing and sealing performance; High barrier degree, extremely low oxygen and moisture permeability; Strong ability to prevent moisture and mold. Bag making is simple and cost-effective, commonly used for small size cat and dog food packaging bags.

Quadrilateral sealing

The four sided sealed bag has high adaptability and stability. After packaging the product with four side sealed bags, it forms a cube and has a good packaging effect. It can be used for food preservation and is suitable for multiple recycling; By utilizing a new printing process, the packaging pattern and logo can be more prominent, resulting in a visually striking effect. The four sided sealed bag is resistant to steaming and boiling, moisture-proof, and has excellent vacuum pumping effect.

Moreover, compared to octagonal sealing, quadrilateral sealing has a lower price and higher cost-effectiveness.

Octagonal seal

The octagonal seal is the most common bag shape in pet snacks. Being able to stand steadily is beneficial for shelf display, with a total of eight printing layouts, providing more complete product information display and allowing customers to have a better understanding of the product. Unique appearance, beware of counterfeits, easy for consumers to recognize, and conducive to brand building. Flat bottomed octagonal sealed bags have a large capacity and strong load-bearing capacity, making them suitable for packaging products with large weight and volume. Large volume pet snacks are usually packaged in octagonal sealed bags.

Self-supporting bag

Self standing packaging bags have excellent sealing properties and composite material strength, are less prone to breakage and leakage, are lightweight, consume less materials, and are easy to transport. The use of self standing bags in pet snack packaging makes it more convenient to display on shelves.

Irregular bag

We all know that pet snacks are often used for cute small animals such as cats and dogs. Therefore, food packaging bags can be designed in cartoon shapes to add fun and make consumers think of their pets, establishing emotional connections with them.

In addition, common specifications for pet food packaging include 500g, 1.5kg, 2.5kg, 5kg, 10kg, etc. Small size packaging is ready to eat, which is safer and healthier, but has a higher unit price. Therefore, currently, large-sized pet food is more popular in the market. But it is difficult to use up a large bag of cat food in a short period of time after opening, which involves the issue of cat food storage. Improper storage of cat food can easily lead to issues such as nutrient loss, spoilage, and dampness. Therefore, packaging bags are usually equipped with zippers, which can be opened repeatedly, making them more convenient and hygienic.
