Proper packaging plays a critical role in maintaining pet food quality and shelf appeal. At EPC, we specialize in developing customized packaging solutions that address the unique challenges of different pet food types.

Key Considerations for Pet Food Packaging

1. Barrier Requirements

2. Functional Features

3. Retail Presentation

• Benefits: • Enhanced shelf presence • Increased branding surface • Better weight distribution

Side-Gusseted Bags

Technical Solutions for Enhanced Performance

Air Release Systems

• Micro-perforations: Tiny laser-cut holes allow controlled air escape

• Reinforced stress points for heavy loads

Sustainable Options

• Recyclable material combinations
