In recent years, the pet industry has seen explosive growth. According to market reports, the global pet food market surpassed USD 100 billion in 2024. As pets are increasingly regarded as beloved family members, brands must not only focus on product quality but also use high-quality packaging to communicate trustworthiness, professionalism, and lifestyle appeal.
Within this booming market, three major packaging trends are rapidly emerging:
🐶 Flat-Bottom Pouches: Standout Shelf Presence and Premium Branding
Compared to traditional stand-up pouches or three-side seal bags, flat-bottom pouches (also known as box pouches) offer superior structure, flexible capacity, and excellent shelf appeal. They are particularly ideal for:
Medium to large pack sizes (e.g., 1kg or 2kg pet food and litter)
Products that require prominent front-facing display
Brands looking to emphasize a premium or imported look
Anxin Art Printing offers precision manufacturing for box pouches, ensuring excellent bag rigidity and clean seal lines. With options for matte or glossy finishes, plus features like resealable zippers and carrying handles, we help brands deliver both style and convenience.
🎨 Digital Printing: Fast Launches and Flexible Production for Multi-Flavor Lines
The pet food industry is increasingly moving toward multi-flavor offerings, smaller packaging formats, and frequent new product releases. However, using traditional printing methods can lead to high plate-making costs and large minimum order quantities — especially challenging when each flavor requires its own packaging design.
That’s where digital printing becomes the perfect solution:
No plate-making, fast proofing
Small-batch production for testing new flavors and designs
Vibrant colors and sharp details, ideal for intricate graphics and illustration styles
At Anxin Art Printing, our digital printing solutions support a variety of pouch styles with fast turnaround times. We help brands respond quickly to market demands while minimizing inventory pressure — an excellent fit for growing or customization-focused pet food brands.
🧪 Enhanced Packaging Functions: Freshness, Moisture Control, and Safety
Pet food, being rich in protein and oils, requires high-performance packaging to maintain freshness. Without proper protection, oxidation and moisture can quickly degrade product quality and pose risks to pets. Ideal packaging solutions should include:
High-barrier materials such as aluminum foil, metallized films, and multi-layer laminates
Resealable zippers to maintain freshness after opening
Excellent sealing integrity to prevent leaks and contamination
Anxin Art Printing is well-versed in the specific requirements of pet food packaging. We offer expert guidance on material selection and pouch structure, helping brands achieve both eye-catching design and peace of mind in product safety.
