How Much Should Your Pet Treat Packaging Cost?

Not much. The exact cost would depend on the cost of your treat and the profit you’ll get from it. If you’re going to earn just a dollar from each packet, it doesn’t make much sense to spend 60-80 cents on packaging.

All companies want to cut costs – whether on raw materials or on packaging. But this doesn’t mean that you should settle for low quality. There is one option that lets you choose the best packaging at the lowest cost – stand up pouch packaging.

Would you want to store pet treats in packets that are so flimsy that they get torn with a single jerky movement? Keep in mind that the people who transport your pouches and place them on store shelves aren’t very careful. If your products arrive to the store in torn bags, the store owner would not want to order your product again.

If your packaging is very flimsy, it will go against your image. It’s best to set a tradeoff between cost and quality. With standup pouches, you can get the safety of your product for just 15-20 cents. You can add multiple features to your stand up pouches if you want. You can add zippers and tear notches, you can get it custom printed, you can add windows and hang holes – there are many possibilities.
