Nowadays, pet keeping is becoming increasingly refined, and the pet food packaging is no longer just a bag for carrying things. It directly affects product preservation, convenience of use, and even determines consumers’ first impression of the brand.
There are various types of packaging on the market. Which one is more suitable for your product? Today, from a professional perspective of a custom flexible packaging manufacturer, DQ Pack will help you clarify your thoughts.
Choosing the Right Pet Food Packaging Is Key
Stand-up pouch:
It is currently the most widely used type. The advantage is that it can stand directly on the shelf and has a good display effect; Usually equipped with a zipper, it is easy to open and close, and can be repeatedly sealed. This kind of pet food packaging is suitable for the vast majority of dry grains, freeze-dried foods, and snacks. The key depends on the material of the bag – good composite film can truly prevent moisture and oxidation, otherwise it is prone to moisture and deterioration after opening.
Flat bottom pouches:
They have been particularly popular in the mid to high-end market in the past two years. The bag is more sturdy, has a strong sense of three-dimensionality, looks more textured, and can print more product information and design elements. This formality of pet food packaging is suitable for products that want to highlight quality, natural ingredients, or functional segmentation, which can intuitively enhance the product level.
Spout pouch:
That is mainly used for wet food, meat puree, nutritional cream, and other products. The biggest advantage is that it is easy to use, can be squeezed out, does not get dirty hands, allows for control of dosage, and provides a good feeding experience. The sealing is usually good and convenient to carry. For consumers who value convenience and hygiene in feeding, this design is a plus point.
Automatic packaging film:
It is commonly used in large-scale production in factories, with high efficiency and controllable costs. Mainly used for small packaged snacks, strip foods, or combination sets. Although it looks basic, well-matched materials can also prevent oil and odors.
There Is No ‘Best’, Only ‘Most Suitable.’
Ultimately, there is no packaging that can fit all products. When choosing packaging, it is necessary to consider comprehensively:
What are you pretending to be? Dry food, wet food, snacks, or nutritional supplements? Different requirements for barrier properties.
To whom? Does the target customer value cost-effectiveness or pursue quality and convenience?
Where do you sell it? Online sales place more emphasis on transportation safety, while offline shelf competition requires visual appeal.
What does the brand want to say? Packaging is the most direct way to convey brand positioning.
