How to choose the right packaging bag for dog food?

As a staple food for pets, the choice of packaging bags for dog food directly affects food freshness and pet health. Guangdong Guowei Guanli New Materials Co., Ltd. has been deeply involved in the “paper instead of plastic” field for many years. Its sustainable packaging products provide environmentally friendly and practical solutions for dog Food Packaging. The following is an in-depth analysis of key considerations for selection.

 

Firstly, moisture resistance and are core requirements. Dog food contains fats and proteins, making it prone to moisture absorption and mold growth. The packaging bag must have strong barrier properties. While traditional plastic packaging can prevent moisture, it does not align with the trend toward environmentally friendly packaging and pollutes the environment when discarded. In contrast, kraft paper composite bags treated with a coating, as an extension of Food Packaging Paper Bags, feature an outer layer of kraft paper for structural support and an inner layer of biodegradable film to block moisture. This design meets biodegradable packaging standards while effectively preventing dog food from becoming damp, ensuring both environmental sustainability and functionality.

 

Secondly, anti-oxidation and freshness preservation capabilities are crucial. Unsaturated fatty acids in dog food are prone to oxidation and spoilage, leading to flavor loss and reduced nutritional value. Kraft paper composite bags, through multi-layer structural design, can slow oxygen penetration. Combined with one-way exhaust valves (for extruded dog food), they prevent excessive internal pressure from causing the bag to swell. Guangdong Guowei Guanli's paper bag packaging is optimized for dog food characteristics, enabling the packaging bags to extend the shelf life to over 12 months at room temperature, far exceeding the freshness retention of ordinary plastic packaging.

 

Application scenarios require precise matching. For e-commerce channels, packaging bags must have tear resistance and durability. When used as inner bags for courier packing bags, kraft paper's strength can withstand logistics vibrations and reduce the risk of bag rupture. Additionally, kraft paper surfaces support custom printing, allowing clear labeling of ingredients, feeding amounts, and other information to enhance brand professionalism. When displayed in offline supermarkets, kraft paper packaging bags with window designs can directly showcase the state of dog food pellets, and their natural texture is more likely to appeal to pet owners.

Cost and environmental benefits must be considered comprehensively. The initial procurement cost of kraft paper composite bags is slightly higher than that of ordinary plastic bags, but the unit price can be controlled after large-scale procurement, and it can reduce a company's environmental compliance costs. A pet food brand reported that after adopting kraft paper packaging, consumer recognition of the brand's environmental friendliness increased by 30%, and repurchase rates increased by 22%.

 

Additionally, safety is of utmost importance. Kraft paper composite bags use food-grade adhesives and films, avoiding the risk of harmful substances being released from plastic packaging at high temperatures, ensuring the safety of dog food contact. Guangdong Guowei Guanli's products have undergone rigorous testing and comply with international pet food packaging safety standards, safeguarding pet health.

 

Overall, packaging bags suitable for dog food must strike a balance between moisture resistance, freshness preservation, and environmental friendliness. Kraft paper composite bags, with their material advantages and innovative processes, are an ideal choice that balances practicality and sustainability. Guangdong Guowei Guanli's customized solutions can precisely meet the packaging needs of different types of dog food (such as dry food, wet food, and freeze-dried food), helping brands gain a competitive edge in the green consumption market.
