Dog treat packaging does not have to be complicated or expensive. There are a few basics and an easy three-step process that dog treat makers can follow to make custom dog treat packaging a business transaction like any other. This post will first discuss the basics that a dog treat manufacturers ought to know before finalizing a print deal, and then list a three-step process.

Basics

Dog treat packaging comes in different shapes and sizes. You do not have to settle with a size or shape that does not fit your requirements.

There are many kinds of dog treat packaging. Manufacturers can either go with flat pouches or stand up pouches. They can choose between stock labels, stock printing, or custom printing. Stock labels are usually less expensive. Custom printing increases manufacturer recognition and thus boosts sales.

Dog treat packaging does not have to be dull. We can make it consumer friendly with a variety of accessories or features. These features include hang holes, tear notches, and zip locks.

It is important to decide between clear film packaging and foil packaging. Clear film packaging shows what's inside a pouch. It thus increases consumer confidence and consequently sales. Foil packaging has the potential to save dog food from the sun's ultraviolet rays and other electromagnetic hazards.

Weight matters. It is necessary to decide beforehand how much of the dog food will go into a pouch before signing a deal with a pouch manufacturer.

Ignoring special ingredients can wreak havoc on the packaging. Unconventional ingredients may react with the pouch, thus leaving dog food unfit to consume.

Finally, it is important to know if the dog food is fragile. Fragile foods are packaged differently from non-fragile foods.

Now the three-step strategy:

(1) Discuss with us the size and shape of the packaging. Based on your requirements, we will be able to suggest several shape-size combinations.

(2) Discuss the right materials for your packaging. We can suggest foil pouches, barrier film pouches, vacuum packaging, and several other kinds of pouches. It is important to let us know about your requirements well in advance so that we can suggest just the right kind of packaging.
