With more than $50 billion spent annually on pet foods and pet treats, there are strict packaging regulations in place. Kendall Packaging’s high-barrier film packaging applications for these products protect against the toughest of industry conditions without sacrificing visual appeal.
Pet food and treat packaging must address a variety of factors, including…
- Product fill weights
- Barrier protection (grease, gas, odor, moisture, etc.)
- Target run speeds
- Cost parameters
- Stiffness requirements (stand-up pouches)
- Seal through contamination needs (grease, crumbs, etc.)
- Handling and storage concerns (abrasion, scuffing, etc.)
High demand is being placed on packaging options within the pet food and treats industry. Pet owners are as loyal to their pet’s health as they are to their own, seeking ingredient transparency, dependability, and convenience. It is now common for general and specialty stores alike to showcase pouches and bags constructed from flexible films in the pet food aisles. Kendall ensures its packaging for pet foods and treats is sturdy, yet attractive, providing a package food companies and consumers can trust.
Flexible packaging has proven advantages over other materials with its moisture barrier properties, puncture resistance, gas, and odor barrier, strong hermetic seals, and grease resistance. Kendall’s high-barrier film packaging protects pet products from oxygen, moisture, and infestation without imparting any off odors or tastes.
Kendall’s stand-up pouches with a re-closable zipper and photo image reproduction capabilities are designed to assist pet food and treat producers with packaging that will attract consumer attention and increase sales. Kendall’s strong yet lightweight flexible pet food and pet treat packaging endures abuse from processing facilities and distribution centers all the way to store shelves.
