Even with the current economic uncertainty, many people still spend substantial amounts of money on their cats.   These folks consider their cats to be members of their family, in fact studies have shown that we need pets more than ever to help to combat against loneliness.  For some, cats are their only family.  As a result, they avoid skimping on food for their cats unless absolutely necessary.   Because of this, more attention than ever is being paid to cat food packaging.

Whether sold in dry or moist varieties, stand up pouches are probably the ideal type of cat food packaging.  As a perishable item, cat food degrades and decomposes over time, so cat food packaging must protect against spoilage. Stand up pouches, also known as stand bags or stand up bags, maintain product freshness.  These bags are made from multiple layers of scientifically designed film barriers which are laminated together.  This means the bags protect the contents from light, vapor, odor and moisture.  And the bags are puncture resistant. 

In the store, stand up bag cat food packaging stands out from the competition because it stands up on the shelf.  These bags can also be ordered with hang holes, making for an attractive hanging display if needed.

Stand up bags, with wide front and back panels, offer a substantial surface area upon which the marketing department can apply labels or custom print text and graphics up to 10 colors.  Cat lovers often consider their animals to have unique and often quirky personalities and stand bags are ideal for creating entertaining, whimsical (and eye-catching) cat food packaging.

Tear notches are available for easy, spill-free opening.  And zip seal closures keep cat food, especially the moist kind, fresher longer, reducing waste and costs. 

When it comes to environmental impact, stand up pouch cat food packaging is a 'green' alternative to boxes and cans.  They can be recycled and, whether printed or plain, stock or custom, stand up pouches take up very little space in a landfill.

Versatile, convenient, durable, aesthetically pleasing and environmentally sound, stand up bag cat food packaging is purr-fect.   Want to learn more about cat food packaging using stand up bags?
