Converters and brand owners alike are joining the revolution in the pet care industry to shift towards recyclable packaging. As of 2021, pet care represents ~2% of the flexible packaging market share, and industry experts project ~4% CAGR in the coming years. Laminate structures combined from multi-material films such as PET and PE are popular for pet food and pet treat packaging but are considered as environmentally disputable as being non-recyclable.
Pet food packages are large, heavy, and lead to a massive amount of waste in landfills. Additionally, sizeable and weighty pouches require excellent drop resistance and durability to ensure product integrity. Polysack has a unique value proposition and large market share in the flexible pet care packaging arena and offers unique films that fulfill market requirements. Pack ‘N’ Cycle EL films offer the elasticity needed to meet the specifications of pet food packaging, with the inherent quality of full recyclability in PE recycling streams.
Stand Up Pouches are ideal for food, liquids, powders, and many other products. These packages come in different sizes and shapes.
The Quad Seal format is perfect for bags with content weights of 1 to 25 kg (2 to 50 lbs).
The Pillow Bag format is the industry standard for lower to medium weight packaging and will be mostly formed on VFFS lines.
