PET FOOD & THE MATERIAL QUESTION

The menu for pets is quite extensive. This can be seen just by looking at the rich offer for the favorites among the pets. For dogs and cats, for example, owners can choose fundamentally between

• Dry and wet food in various flavors and for different needs (such as special compositions for young animals or for the "seniors");

• Snacks in a wide range, from dried meat to dental care to training snacks;

In addition, there are other specialties. For example, cat milk (as a reward and for the well-being) or products for a BARF diet (i.e. feeding with raw meat). Since animals, like people, can suffer from food intolerances, there is also a market for pet food with special feed properties. These include, for example, grain-free or gluten-free feeds, but also particularly high-protein products.

Depending on the type of feed, perfectly matched forms of packaging are necessary. This applies first and foremost to the choice of suitable material. Packaging made of plastic has proven to be particularly practical for almost any feed.

This is because they provide a reliable barrier against external influences and at the same time securely enclose food with a high liquid content or completely liquid pet food. Leakage of the contents is thereby prevented, as well as possible unpleasant odor formation.

The pets will probably be less bothered by this, but for human noses, an overly intense smell of pet food in the household does become a nuisance. With the right packaging, this problem does not arise in the first place, while the flavor is still preserved - after all, pets also enjoy with all their senses.

However, packaging made of cardboard or carton is just as conceivable. Many snacks are less susceptible to external influences because they have been preserved by drying for a long time, for example. Pet food for small animals, birds and fish can also often be stored in cardboard or paperboard packaging without losing quality.

PACKAGING FOR PET SUPPLIES IN MANY SHAPES

Different sized animals, different occasions when the various pet food products are fed - these and other factors not only influence the choice of material for the packaging. They also determine the shape that is best suited for the particular food.

Variable and flexible formats that can be easily and uncomplicatedly adapted to larger and smaller portion sizes are therefore in demand. Stock packs for several kilograms of food are just as possible as small pouches for the occasional snack.

In any case, packaging warehouse's diverse portfolio offers you a wide range of different packaging solutions that can fully satisfy not only your needs, but also those of your customers:

• low packaging weight with the greatest possible robustness,

Our formats give you a free hand in configuring the different packaging. Using the latest printing technology, we implement individual designs entirely according to your ideas.

POUCH PACKAGING FOR PET FOOD

When it comes to versatile packaging solutions, there is no way around practical plastic pouch packaging. With our Doypacks and flat pouches, we offer you two extremely popular variants that meet all the requirements of modern and high-quality packaging for pet food.

• The plastics we use for stand-up pouches and flat pouches combine optimal conditions for product safety and sustainable packaging design. As long as the pet food pouches are in use, the contents remain protected thanks to high moisture and oxygen barriers and optional closure options (such as zippers). After use, the pouch packaging returns to the material cycle as it is fully recyclable.

• Whether dry food, wet food or a small snack - our stand-up pouches and flat pouches are a safe solution for a wide variety of feeds.

• Practical for stockpiling, practical for on the go. A high degree of flexibility in dimensions makes our pouch packaging suitable for different filling quantities. The free configuration makes it possible to cut the pouches perfectly to the quantity to be packed.

• Like all packaging from packaging warehouse, our Doypacks and flat pouches also impress with their appearance. Various options for printing and finishing ensure that you can implement creative design ideas in the highest quality.
