Pet food bags need to hold up to grease, moisture and oxygen. This category covers flat bottom, stand up and side gusset pouches, plus rollstock film for form-fill-seal lines. Common structures are PET/AL/PE and PET/NY/PE for long shelf life, with mono-material PE or PP recyclable and PLA/PBS compostable options where a brand wants them. Add-ons include one-way degassing valves, zippers, tear notches, windows and carry handles. Rotogravure printing runs up to 10 colours; digital print starts at 100 pouches. The trade-off: high-barrier metallised or foil laminates protect best but are not recyclable in most kerbside systems. Pet food makers, contract manufacturers and private-label brands use these bags for kibble, treats and freeze-dried toppers.
