Dog foods packaged in stand up bags are the safest options for five reasons:

(1) Food grade materials

StandUpPouches.net is also into dog treat packaging. We make stand up pouches for dog food manufacturers using the highest quality materials. A proof of the quality of StandUpPouches.net's custom printed stand up bags is in the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) approval that declares that these pouches are entirely safe to package all kinds of food products. This green light from the premier federal food testing agency guarantees manufacturers and consumers that the packaging chosen to keep their dog food has been rigorously tested for safety.

(2) No sharp edges

Tin cans are a popular method to package dog food. They have been in use for a long time despite the threat they pose to a dog's safety. An improperly opened tin can is potentially dangerous. It can injure a dog's mouth. Stand up pouches do not have sharp edges. There is no way a dog can be injured from them. A dog owner can open a stand up pouch in any way and still it will not make their dog's mouth bleed.

(3) No toxicity

StandUpPouches.net uses non-toxic inks for printing. Even though the artwork is usually laminated, we still pay complete attention to the chemicals used in its inks to ensure none of them is toxic for dogs or humans. This is not the case with several other packaging mediums such as reused cardboard boxes. A 2011 study by a group of Swiss researchers found that boxes made from recycled cardboard contain more than the accepted levels of toxins.

(4) No chemical reactions

The materials used in stand up pouches vary, depending on the ingredients used in the dog food. StandUpPouches.net inquires about the chemicals used in the product to make sure the materials used in our pouches do not react with dog food. The preservatives in a dog food can sometimes react with improperly waxed tin cans. The packaging used for wet dog food and dry dog food may not be same.

(5) Protection

Stand up pouches are made from laminating several layers of plastic and other materials. Together these layers form an effective barrier against environmental impurities such as dirt and moisture. This is better than cardboard boxes that are sitting ducks against moisture. Puncture resistant stand up pouches safeguard dog food even under very rough human handling.

So if you want to package dog food, make sure you select the best option: standup pouches.
