Packaging 101

Pet Food Packaging

Packaging is one of the most important things for pet-industry manufacturers. Pet owners want to know that the product they are buying is sealed properly so their pet food or treats are as fresh as possible.

No one wants to buy a new 50 lb. bag of pet food only to find it has lost its freshness and nutrients. The way it is packaged is crucial to maintaining its freshness. Additionally, the type of packaging and materials used to seal the food is vital.

Dogs and cats are less likely to eat food that has lost its flavor due to poor packaging, and when pets don’t eat their food. As a result, owners will look to other brands to keep their beloved animals happy and well-fed.

Finding the right machine for the job is also crucial. One option includes the Autobag FAS SPrint Revolution SidePouch food packaging bagger which produces tamper-evident perforations and other pet-friendly packaging solutions.

This machine brings new levels of speed and versatility to demanding, high-productivity environments that require daily washdown procedures. The FAS SPrint operates at speeds up to 900 inches per minute. This state-of-the-art system offers maximum flexibility, functionality, and pet food bag packaging reliability.

The Autobag FAS Sprint Revolution Side Pouch Bagger can handle both pet food and regular human food. There are many features of this machine and it has many types of applications.

AirPouch EZ-Tear can make for an important addition to your void fill lineup as it has many benefits. For instance, it makes for a great block-and-brace tactic and is easy to use.

A third-party study revealed that it takes 80% to pull and separate it than similar void fill products. As a result, it makes wrapping and packaging easier to produce and accomplish. It takes on average just 5.84 pounds of force to tear off the precise amount of pillows you need versus three of the other leading competitors.

A pre-opened slit between each component allows the operator to easily grasp and separate the materials. Once it’s separated, users can expertly fill boxes and packages knowing it will stand the toughest of journeys.

Air pouch EZ-Tear is a key part of the void fill solutions offered on the market.
