Recyclable Flat Bottom Pouch for Dry Dog Food Packaging Bag
A 140 micron recyclable flat bottom pouch in PET/PE for dry dog food, offering moisture and odour control for brands moving to mono-material packaging.
This flat bottom pouch is built from a PET/PE laminate at 140 micron, a mono-material structure that can be recycled where PE streams are accepted. The flat base lets the bag stand unsupported on shelf, and the side gussets expand to hold a stable fill weight without bulging. The PE sealant layer keeps moisture out and aroma in, which matters for kibble that loses crunch when it picks up humidity. Thickness is customizable if you need a stiffer or lighter pack.
The format suits dry dog food from 1 kg to 15 kg, filled on vertical or horizontal form-fill-seal lines with a flat bottom attachment. Sealing runs at standard PE temperatures, and the wide base helps the bag survive palletising. A zipper works well for repeat-open packs, a window shows kibble shape, and a degassing valve is not needed here because dry food does not release gas. Choose this mono-PE structure when recyclability is a brand requirement; choose a foil laminate when you need a longer shelf life or higher oxygen barrier.

Frequently asked
Is this pouch suitable for a 10 kg fill on a vertical form-fill-seal line?
Yes, the flat bottom and side gussets handle 10 kg and above, but the base needs a forming collar sized to the bag width. Check that your filler can handle 140 micron PE without wrinkling at the seal. A heavier gauge may be needed for drop tests above 15 kg.
What is the minimum order quantity for custom printing on this bag?
Digital print starts at 100 pcs for pouches, with a 10-15 working day lead time after artwork approval. Rotogravure printing starts at 10,000 pcs and takes 20-25 working days. Digital suits short runs or test batches; rotogravure lowers unit cost at volume.
Does PET/PE provide enough barrier for dry dog food?
PET/PE gives moderate moisture and odour barrier, which is fine for dry kibble with a best-before of 12 months or less. It will not match a foil or metallised laminate for oxygen and light protection. If your formula is high in fat or needs a longer shelf life, consider a different structure.
