Recyclable Box Pouches for Pet Food

A national-brand pet food company was looking for a more eco-friendly and attractive pet packaging option for their dry kibble. They wanted to switch from non-recyclable conventional flexible packaging to recyclable packaging, without compromising performance and quality.

Some of the challenges they faced were:

  • Maintaining the same sealing speed and efficiency as the conventional flexible packaging pouches
  • Ensuring the recyclable packaging pouches can withstand drop tests from a height of 48 inches
  • Providing high oxygen and moisture barrier for the pet food to keep its freshness and flavor
  • Passing palatability testing to ensure the pet food was not distasteful to pets
  • Communicating the sustainability of the recyclable packaging pouches to the consumers

To overcome these challenges

The pet food company partnered with ProAmpac, a flexible packaging leader that offers innovative and sustainable solutions. ProAmpac determined the best solution would be the ProActive QuadFlex Recyclable Flat Bottom quadseal bags, which are a sustainable packaging alternative for conventional flexible packaging box pouches.

These bags have several advantages, such as:

  • Ideal heat resistance which allows them to run at high speeds on filling machines, achieving the same filling rates as conventional flexible packaging pouches
  • Sufficient strength to allow them to pass drop test performance
  • High barrier that protects the pet food from oxygen and moisture degradation
  • A zipper that enables easy opening and closing of the bags
  • A standardized label that informs consumers about store drop-off for recyclable packaging

By using the ProActive QuadFlex Recyclable Flat Bottom quadseal bags, the pet food company was able to achieve their sustainable packaging goals without sacrificing quality or shelf appeal. This success story demonstrates how the pet food company and ProAmpac collaborated to create a sustainable packaging solution that benefits both the environment and consumers.
