PACKAGING PET FOOD

Pet food is divided in three main categories:

• dry pet food
• dental sticks 
• wet pet food.

Flexible packaging is the best solution to show pet food on shelves and protect it at the same time. The stand-up pouch packaging, thanks to its versatility to assume different shapes and sizes depending on the product needs, has gradually become the go-to packaging for petfood.

Flexible packaging, also, adapt very well to different typologies of food distribution to the pet itself, both when a single dose portion is needed and when the packaging needs to be of considerable dimensions(suitable for large dogs or for buying in bulk situations).
The packaging shape itself can be modified and adapted following the needs and instructions of the manufacturer, and equipped with a closing zip to help maintain the product’s freshness.
The petfood package must have an emotional impact, a perspective that implies the importance of the artwork to catch the customers’ attention, and to provide the more information possible about the ingredients and the product’s nutritional values (pivotal in the choice of the most suitable food for the pet’s diet).
