Pet Packaging Questions, Answered

It depends on the print method. Digital printing starts at 500 bags, stock bags with your custom label start at 1,000, and high-volume rotogravure runs start at 10,000. If you are just launching, digital and stock are the easiest ways to start small.

Digital printing uses no printing plates, so it is fast and affordable for shorter runs and new flavors. Rotogravure uses engraved cylinders that deliver rich, consistent color across very large runs at the lowest cost per bag. In short, digital is best for smaller batches and rotogravure is best for high volume.

Stock bags are ready-made pouches in set sizes that you finish with your own custom label or sticker. Because the bag itself is already produced, they are the quickest and leanest way to get a branded product on the shelf, which makes them a favorite for new brands and small runs.

UV 3D is a raised, tactile ink that gives logos and lettering a premium, textured feel you can actually run your finger over. It is a great way to make stock bags and labels stand out and feel high-end without a full custom print run.

We build stand-up pouches, flat bottom bags, side gusset bags, quad seal bags, flat and sample pouches, and spouted pouches for liquids. The right shape depends on your product and how it sells, and we are happy to help you choose.

The barrier depends on what is inside and how long it needs to stay fresh. Dry treats do well with a standard or high barrier, kibble and oily treats need a high foil or metallized barrier, and freeze-dried raw needs an extra-high barrier. Every material we run is food-safe and rated for direct contact.

Yes. Dry kibble and treats run in resealable high-barrier bags, wet food and broths run in spouted or retort-ready pouches built for liquids, and freeze-dried raw runs in extra-high-barrier bags that keep oils from turning. We match the build to the recipe.

We do. Options include compostable films for eligible products, store-drop-off recyclable mono-material bags, and PCR or bio-based material content. We help you lower your footprint without giving up freshness or shelf appeal.

Absolutely. We offer resealable zippers, one-way degassing valves, tear notches, clear windows, hang holes, handles, and matte, gloss, or soft-touch finishes. These features make a bag easier to use and harder to leave on the shelf.
