For many people, pets are beloved members of their families. With that, pet owners are looking for the best food products to keep their animals happy and healthy. Ensuring a long shelf life and re-sealable features is key to ensuring repeat buyers. You may have the perfect package design in mind, but need to find an equipment solution that will bring your vision to life. That’s where Summit comes in.

Wet and Dry Food Packaging Equipment

Whether your business produces one kind of pet food or a whole line of products, it’s crucial to understand what type of equipment is going to best serve your needs. If you are packaging wet pet food, there is a higher consideration for modified atmosphere packaging (MAP), and vacuum sealing capabilities. Machines that can handle these requirements include:

VFFS/HFFS Equipment
Rollstock Packaging Equipment
Chamber Vacuum Sealers
Pouch Filling Equipment

Dry pet foods like kibble and biscuits require different capabilities for filling and sealing. Stand-up pouches are a common solution for these types of products. The required volume and level of production are details that are of high importance when determining the right pet food packaging equipment. Some equipment options that may be suitable for this type of operation include:

Continuous Band-sealer
Rotary Pouch Fillers
Scaling/Weighing Systems
Linear Pouch Fillers

Common Questions

Requirements for pet food packaging are not all that different from general food packaging. Packaging must meet high-quality standards to ensure that they are shelf stable while maintaining health standards. So, when determining the best system for packaging pet food products, there are many factors to consider. What level of barrier protection is needed? Does the package need to be re-sealable? What will keep my pet food products freshest? These are all questions that our technical experts are equipped to answer at Summit Packaging.

Pet food can be packaged by a number of different machines, but it all depends on the type of product you are trying to package. Certain pet food packaging machinery can load wet and dry foods directly into flexible packaging like gusseted pouches and then seal the pouches closed. Other products may require a vacuum seal option, to ensure freshness and protection. Automation is a crucial part of any packaging operation, as it can improve output while reducing overall labor. If you’re trying to find the best pet food packaging equipment for your product, Summit Packaging can recommend the best solutions.
