Pet food packaging refers to packaging materials used to protect, store and deliver food items of pets. Some of the common packaging solutions include metal cans, folding cartons, pouches, and bags that are usually made of metal, plastic, and paperboard. It is widely used for wrapping or enclosing food items to keep them fresh, long-lasting, clean, and free from contamination. Pet food packaging aids in preventing tampering, spillage, and loss of vital nutrients from the food products. It also offers high durability, cost-effectiveness, and insulation. At present, pet food is commercially available in frozen, dry, wet, and chilled variants.
