Petfood manufacturers are facing rising ingredient prices and labor challenges that can negatively impact profitability. Packaging automation can help you reduce production costs and ship more product at higher efficiency. At A-B-C, we can help you specify the right automation for your packaging line to increase your production and reduce costs, whether one machine or a complete solution.

Aluminum and steel cans are still the most prevalent petfood packaging accounting for over 60% of sales in 2023. Bagged dry food is another constant in this industry. Yet, as the industry focuses on sustainable packaging solutions, flexible pouches are leading the way. Pouches attract consumers with their convenience and easily reclosable seals that protect product freshness. Other innovations include fresh foods in chub packaging that are gaining in popularity, while pet care products are packaged in a variety of plastic containers.
