Wet Food and Pet Food Packaging

What is Wet Food and Pet Food Packaging?

With the modernization of pet feeding habits, Wet Food and Pet Food Packaging plays a critical role in both preserving nutritional values and providing ease of use. Wet food is the most perishable product group due to its high moisture content and fresh ingredients. These solutions by Çevikbaş Packaging are advanced, lightweight, and flexible alternatives to traditional cans, consisting of high-barrier layers. Guided by the vision of "Smart packaging solutions for every product in every sector," these packages preserve the flavor and freshness of cat and dog foods prepared with fresh ingredients.

Freshness and Barrier Technology in Wet Food Packaging

The most important criterion for extending the shelf life of wet food is for the packaging to completely cut off contact with oxygen and light. Multi-layer lamination structures offered by Çevikbaş prevent external bacteria from entering while stopping the natural aroma inside from escaping. These packages are generally produced to be resistant to "retort" processes, allowing the food to be sterilized at high temperatures while inside the package, remaining fresh for a long time without preservatives.

Key Advantages of Pet Food Packaging

1. Superior Protection Barrier: Eliminates moisture, light, and air transmission through aluminum or special barrier layers.
2. Odor Trapping: Prevents intense smells from leaking out, trapping the full aroma inside the package.
3. Trust and Quality: Following the principle of "Trust in every package, quality in every touch," the leak-proof structure ensures product hygiene.
4. Ergonomic Design: Being 80% lighter than metal cans, it significantly reduces transportation and storage costs.
5. High Durability: Features extra-reinforced layers against punctures or bursts during transit.

Material Structure and Technical Details

The packaging structure is engineered based on the food type (sauce, jelly, or chunks):

1. Outer Layer (PET/Matte PET): A surface resistant to impacts that allows for high-quality, vivid printing as seen in the visual.
2. Barrier Layer (ALU / BOPA / PET MET): A protective shield that preserves nutritional values like proteins and vitamins.
3. Inner Sealing Layer (Special PE / CPP): A food-grade inner surface that guarantees sealing and remains stable during retort processes.
