Flexible printed packaging films for pet food

Versatile, convenient and functional

Flexible packaging for pet food has become more innovative and technically advanced to support the changing needs of food manufacturers, brand owners, retailers and pet owners. Pet food packaging films have been developed to have specific barrier qualities, strength and puncture resistance, heat resistance and high clarity that offers solutions to challenges throughout the supply chain. In addition, high quality flexographic print, more sustainable ink and film options and peelable and resealable materials all offer versatile and convenient solutions that appeal to pet food brands and pet owners.

Flexible packaging films for the pet food sectors

Material types and properties

Polyethylene (PE) films

Our PE films are OPRL recyclable and come in a range of colours and thicknesses from 20 to 200 microns. Ideal for VFFS and HFFS applications, peelable and resealable options and a Metallocene PE for stiffness and puncture resistance. EVOH PE is a high-performance film that acts as an excellent barrier to oxygen, aromas and oils.

Polyester (PET) films

Our PET range of films in mono and laminate formats has excellent printability and provides a barrier to cross contamination and transmission of gas, moisture and aromas.

Polypropylene (PP) films

We have standard or high barrier OPP and CPP films made from post-consumer recycled (PCR) content in mono and laminate formats. These films have high strength, sealability and clarity. High barrier and metallised options prevent the migration and transmission of oils, moisture, light, aromas, oxygen and other gases.

Laminated metallised films

These give superior strength and protect contents from light, oxygen and moisture. They are often used inside bags and pouches to extend shelf-life.
