Pet food is prone to moisture damage and fat oxidation, both of which shorten shelf life and affect quality. Tyler Packaging’s high-barrier films combine low WVTR (Water Vapour Transmission Rate) and low OTR (Oxygen Transmission Rate) performance to keep products fresher for longer and increases shelf life.
All of our packaging is great at keeping pet food fresh. Also think about adding resealable features to keep it fresh once opened. One high-performance packaging solution, built to protect dry, semi-moist and wet pet food alike, extending shelf life and keeping quality consistent from production to point of sale.

Pet food packaging, such as soft plastic pouches and bags, can’t be recycled in standard home kerb side bins, and requires drop off at specialised drop-off points. These can be found across many UK pet stores and supermarkets, just make sure the packaging is completely empty and clean before dropping it off.
We have various resealable options, and we recommend the format based on product being packed.
Our packaging keeps food fresh for up to 24 months. To learn more about how it does this, as well as the packaging methods that keep food freshness locked in, read about it at our blog here.
Look for a supplier with experience in pet food packaging, a range of flexible packaging formats, suitable barrier options, and the ability to provide recyclable or compostable structures where appropriate. It is also worth considering print quality, minimum order quantities, lead times, technical support and the supplier’s ability to scale with your business.
Compostable packaging can be suitable for some pet food applications, but it is not automatically the best choice for every product. One of the biggest challenges is pack weight, and the limited sizes available, whereas factors such as shelf life, oxygen and moisture barrier requirements are excellent, product characteristics and available composting infrastructure should be considered before choosing compostable packaging.
Recyclable packaging is designed to enter an appropriate recycling system and be processed into new materials, while compostable packaging is designed to break down under specified composting conditions. The right option depends on the product, required packaging performance and the waste infrastructure available to the end user.
Recyclable sacks can be suitable for dry dog food when the material structure provides the required strength, protection and barrier performance. The appropriate sack depends on factors including pack size, product characteristics, filling process and required shelf life.
High-barrier packaging is designed to provide increased protection against factors such as oxygen, moisture and light that can affect the quality and shelf life of pet food. The required barrier level depends on the product and its intended shelf life.
Barrier packaging helps protect dry pet food from oxygen and moisture, which can affect product quality, freshness and shelf life. The appropriate barrier depends on the product’s characteristics and the required shelf life.
The best packaging depends on the product and its shelf-life requirements, but a suitable high-barrier flexible structure can help protect dry pet food from oxygen and moisture. Features such as resealable zippers can also help protect the product after the pack has been opened.
Flat bottom pouches can be considered for compostable pet food applications where the selected compostable structure provides the required packaging performance. The suitability depends on factors such as pack size, shelf life, barrier requirements and the product being packed.
Reducing packaging material simply mean using less material per pack. Brands can consider packaging optimisation (right sizing), material selection, appropriate barrier structures, pack sizing and removing unnecessary layers or components while maintaining the performance needed to protect the product.
