As a pet owner with dogs, cats, and even birds at home, I interact with pet food packaging daily — and one thing has become clear: premade pouches are now the standard on pet food shelves.
From snacks to wet food, and even bird seed, premade pouches dominate because they combine strong shelf presence, easy dispensing, and practical storage. Consumers have embraced them — and once consumers decide, the market follows.
So, what does this shift mean for producers and production?
From Consumer Preference to Production Reality
Pet food packaging spans a wide range of formats:
from small snack pouches to large 5 kg bags.
Producers need flexibility — not just in design, but in production capability.
The challenge is clear:
how to efficiently integrate premade pouches into production without limiting format range or scalability.
One Machine, Multiple Formats
This is exactly the scenario that led us to develop the Combi-Sprint Large.
It’s the same proven platform, enhanced with a large pouch magazine, allowing producers to handle:
- snack-size pouches
- standard pet food formats
- large premade pouches up to 5 kg
All within a single, versatile machine.
A Practical Answer to a Proven Market Trend
The pet food industry has already shown strong adoption of premade pouches.
The question is no longer if producers should support them, but how to do it efficiently.
Solutions like the Combi-Sprint Large offer an easy and scalable way to integrate premade pouches into production — matching consumer expectations while keeping operations flexible.
