Custom printed pet food pouches for kibble, treats and wet food, made to your size, material and artwork.
A single bag style rarely fits every product in a pet range. Dry kibble in 2 kg and up usually suits a flat bottom pouch with a zipper. Treats sell well in stand-up pouches with a window. Wet food cooked in the bag needs a retort pouch rated for your process temperature. We recommend one structure in writing and price each option if two fit.
Printing, lamination and bag making run in our own cleanroom plant in Shenzhen. Digital print starts at 1,000 pcs per design, gravure at 10,000 pcs.
- Print — Digital from 1,000 pcs, gravure from 10,000 pcs per design, 9-color printing in house
- Sample — Free sample of a similar bag, buyer pays the courier
- Testing — Every order leak-tested before shipment, 11 quality checks before packing
- Quote — Itemized price with recommended structure within one business day

Our Product Range
Which Pet Food Pouch Structure Fits Kibble, Treats and Wet Food?
Choose by how the product is filled, stored and opened.
Dry kibble and large fills
Flat bottom pouches stand firmly on a shelf and give five printable panels. Add a zipper if the bag is opened daily. For heavier fills, the gusset and film thickness are set from your fill weight, and we confirm them in the quote.
Treats and small fills
Stand-up pouches cost less per bag and suit treats, jerky and training rewards. A zipper and a window let the buyer see the product. A flat bottom pouch looks more premium for the same fill. If both fit, we recommend one in writing and price each.
Wet food cooked in the bag
Retort pouches are rated for your sterilization temperature and time. Tell us the process when you brief us so the laminate is matched to it. Do not use a standard stand-up laminate for retort filling.
| Dry kibble | Flat bottom with zipper |
|---|---|
| Treats | Stand-up with zipper, optional window |
| Wet food | Retort pouch |
Barrier Layers for Pet Food: Fat, Moisture and Odour
Fat is usually the first thing that breaks down a weak pouch.
What the barrier has to hold back
Kibble coated with fat goes rancid when oxygen and light get in. Moisture softens treats and shortens shelf life. Odour matters on the shelf and in the home. The laminate has to limit oxygen, moisture and light together, and the fat content of your product decides how much barrier you need.
Foil, kraft and Mylar compared
Aluminum foil laminate gives the highest barrier and blocks light. Kraft paper laminate gives a natural look and is usually paired with a barrier layer inside. Mylar (metallized film) sits in between and works for many dry products. We recommend a structure from your product, fill weight and target market, and show the options in the quote.
Foil, Kraft Laminate or Mylar: Quick Comparison
Foil laminate
- Barrier: Highest
- Light block: Full
- Look: Metallic or matt print
- Best for: Long shelf life, fatty kibble
Kraft laminate
- Barrier: Depends on inner layer
- Light block: Depends on structure
- Look: Natural paper feel
- Best for: Natural-look treats
Seal Strength, Zippers and Leak Testing Before Approval
What QC teams usually check, and how we handle each point.
Seal integrity
Seals are checked on finished bags. Fill weight and bag size affect the seal width, so we set it per order.
Zipper reclose
The zipper is selected for repeated opening. Tell us how often the bag is opened and how heavy the fill is.
Leak testing
Bags are leak-tested before shipment. Spout and retort orders are tested before production as well.
Cleanroom and QC
Bags are made in our cleanroom plant and go through 11 quality checks before packing.
