New Sustainable Flexible Packaging for Pet Food Packaging

Upgraded Flexible Pet Food Packaging Trend

Pet food producers are beginning to provide more high-quality, healthful foods, treats, and snacks that are gluten-free and grain-free. As a result, pet owners have the choice of purchasing higher-quality pet foods for their animals. Pets are entitled to better nutrition.

Such premium pet food supplies necessitate more creative primary packaging to convey the food values and upgrades on the packaging, highlighting the characteristics and benefits for pet owners to make an informed decision.

New Sustainable Pet Food Packaging and Shelf Life

Such premium pet diets made with human-grade ingredients often contain more fat and meat than traditional pet foods, contain fewer inert, shelf-stable components like grains and soy. As a result, these products are more delicate and easy to get expired.

Oxygen is the first killer to freshness who has to be banned outside from the packaging. Once oxygen reacts with the foods inside the pet food packaging, poor taste, spoilage and loss of quality and nutrients will happen.

So a high barrier packaging is vitally important. The high barrier pet foods packaging builds up a barrier wall between the pet food and the oxygen, moisture and even UV in the light.

Such high barrier pet food packaging is normally made of a multi-layered laminated film structure. It will decrease significantly the flow of oxygen, odor, and vapor.

High barrier films allow very little oxygen to pass through and provide maximum protection for your pet food. They are ideal for foods that need to have a longer shelf life.

You can extend this shelf life even further by vacuum sealing the bag, extracting as much air as possible, or replacing the air in the bag with nitrogen or a mixture of neutral gasses (modified atmosphere packaging).

How Pet Food Packaging Bags and Pouches Sustainable

As pet food has improved, so have the requirements for pet food packaging to be more eco-friendly and long-lasting. We now have pure LDPE laminated packaging bags at Gozen Packaging, which are manufactured entirely of low-density PE materials.

As a result, it has a mono-material structure that makes recycling easier. The recycle stream code is 4 and they are 100 per cent recyclable.

The sustainable pure LDPE flexible packaging types include stand up pouches, flat bottom bags, and the typical small samples packaging like pillow pouches, and flat pouches, for different sizes of loading capacity.

Furthermore, the materials are food-safe and have excellent barrier properties. No problem to be used packaging pet food. The surface film we use is one type of optimized LDPE film which can be used as a printing layer. Colours and effects are as good as in other films like PET and BOPP.
