Did You Choose the Right Pet Food Packaging Bag?

With the rapid development of society, people's living standards have gradually improved, and more and more people have pets. Therefore, the pet food market is gradually expanding, the market competition is gradually fierce, and the importance of pet food packaging is gradually prominent. How do you choose pet food packaging bags?

Texture of material

The plastic material selected for the cat food/dog food packaging bag has barrier properties, heat resistance, and sealing properties. It can prevent food spoilage, that is, prevent vitamin oxidation in food. Generally, multi-layer plastic composite is selected, and common ones include PET / NY / Al / CPP, etc.

We found that in the plastic composite coextrusion film, aluminum foil will be composite because the aluminum foil packaging bag has good barrier properties. It blocks air, sunlight, oil, and water, and almost all substances cannot penetrate. The aluminum foil packaging bag has good air tightness. Aluminum foil packaging bags have excellent light shielding, oil resistance, and softness.

People who have owned pets should all know that whether it is cat food or dog food, direct contact with sunlight should be minimized. If it is in contact with sunlight for a long time, it will deteriorate; Also, don't put it in a cool place, because it will deteriorate and become moldy after some time, so most pet snack packages will use aluminum foil.

Four-sided sealed bags are resistant to cooking, moisture, and vacuum.

The octagonal seal is the most common bag type in pet snacks. It can stand steadily and is conducive to shelf display. There are eight printing pages in total, which makes the product information display more complete and enables customers to understand the product at a glance. Unique appearance, beware of counterfeiting, easy for consumers to identify and conducive to brand building.

As we all know, pet snacks are mostly used for cute small animals such as cats and dogs. So food packaging bags can be designed into cartoon shapes of pets to increase interest, remind consumers of their pets, and establish emotional ties with consumers.

Specifications

The common specifications of pet food packaging are 500g, 1.5kg, 2.5kg, 5kg, 10kg, etc. Small-size packaging is safe and healthy, but the unit price is higher. Therefore, at present, large-scale pet food is more popular in the market. However, it is difficult to use up a large package of cat food in a short time after opening, so it involves the storage of cat food. If the cat food is stored improperly, it is easy to suffer from nutrient loss, deterioration, moisture, and other problems. Therefore, the packaging bag is usually equipped with a zipper, which can be opened repeatedly and is more convenient and hygienic.
