National Pet Day on April 11 is a time to celebrate our beloved furry companions, and what better way to do that than with their favorite treats? All made in the USA. Whether you own a dog, cat, or any other pet, flexible packaging is revolutionizing how pet treats are stored, shipped, and enjoyed.
The Rise of Flexible Packaging in the Pet Treat Industry
Pet owners today demand high-quality, convenient, and sustainable packaging for their furry friends' treats. Flexible packaging has gained immense popularity due to its lightweight nature, resealability, and capability to preserve freshness. Brands are increasingly adopting stand-up and flat pouches and custom resealable bags to enhance the consumer experience while maintaining product integrity.
Benefits of Flexible Packaging for Pet Treats
1. Extended Freshness: High-barrier materials protect against moisture, humidity, heat, and ensure treats stay fresh longer.
2. Convenience: Resealable closures make it easy for pet parents to maintain treat freshness and keep pests out. Also, pet treats made of flexible packaging save on display space allowing more of your products on store shelves. When it comes to your customers, they’ll save on storage space in their homes.
3. Green Sustainable Packaging: Many flexible packaging options now are post-consumer recycled (PCR), recyclable, or made from compostable materials, reducing environmental impact.
4. Cost-Effective: Flexible packaging is lightweight, which lowers shipping costs and reduces carbon footprint compared to rigid packaging.
5. Customization: Brand owners can design eye-catching packaging with vibrant colors, transparent windows, and options on finishes like matte, gloss, or soft touch to attract pet owners. If you need assistance, NBi FlexPack offers design support for custom-printed pouches.
Innovations in Flexible Packaging for Pet Treats
With advancements in technology, brands are incorporating smart packaging elements such as QR codes for pet nutrition information, sustainable materials that are bio-based, and even eBeam sterilization to enhance food safety.
