If you think that packaging of dog treats is complicated and expensive, think again. There are some basics that you need to get familiar with. Then you need to understand an easy process comprising of three steps. This will make custom packaging of your dog treats a simple and regular business transaction.  

So let’s first discuss some basics that dog treat manufacturers need to know before they select a packaging option.

Basics
Manufacturers can package dog treats in various shapes and sizes and are not restricted to the standard dimensions available. They can opt for stand up pouches or flat ones. They can decide whether to go for stock printing, stock labels, or custom printing. Stock labels are generally the most economical. But custom printing increases brand recognition and acts as a sales booster.

Dog treat packaging need not look plain and dull. At StandUpPouches.net, we offer various attractive options. Your packages can be made consumer friendly with the addition of various features such as tear notches, hang holes, and zip locks.

You can decide whether you want clear film packaging or foil packaging. To increase consumer confidence, clear film packaging is the way to go. Consumers can view the contents of a pouch and verify its quality before making a purchase. Foil packaging is an effective method of safeguarding dog food from the effects of electromagnetic hazards and the sun's ultraviolet rays.

Before finalizing your pouch, consider the weight you plan to pack. The pouch dimensions will largely depend on this. Similarly, special consideration needs to be given to special ingredients. Some product ingredients can detrimentally affect the packaging by reacting with the pouch material and rendering the dog food unfit for consumption. Also if the dog food is fragile and can crumble easily, it needs to be packaged differently.
