Happy & Healthy, From Nose To Tail
Pets play a meaningful role in our lives, so when it comes to rewarding them, your consumers want only the best treats with maximum freshness and flavor.
Layfield takes pride in the innovation of packaging solutions, from large-format side gusseted bags like Flat Bottom and Pinch Bottom to SUPs; we offer a wide range of customizable products that set the standard for product protection, sustainability, and durability!
Sustainable Packaging
Our sustainable packaging options use less material and require fewer resources to produce and transport than other packaging formats holding similar product volumes. Its versatility and customizability make it an excellent fit for a wide range of products, reducing waste and saving resources. But its most significant benefit is that it can be designed with recyclable content and recyclability, further reducing its carbon footprint. With our PCR and How2Recycle pre-qualified store drop-off options, you can choose our sustainable packaging, knowing that you're making a positive impact for the future.
Maximize Shelf Life
With its excellent barrier properties, our flexible packaging maximizes the shelf life of your pet treats. It creates a sealed environment that protects the contents from external elements compromising their freshness and quality, such as air, moisture, and light. Additionally, our packaging can incorporate venting features such as micro-perforations that enable the escape of gas and moisture to preserve the freshness of a product while still maintaining the integrity of the packaging. By minimizing exposure to harmful elements and incorporating venting options, our packaging ensures that the treats remain fresh for an extended period. With longer shelf life, pet owners can buy in bulk and save money while providing their furry friends with the high-quality nutrition they deserve.
Exceptional Graphics
Customers are often drawn to packaging designs that are visually appealing and unique. A well-designed package can catch a customer's eye and communicate key messages about the product. This is particularly important in a crowded marketplace where many similar products compete for attention. Our packaging offers a canvas for brands to convey their messaging, utilizing various printing techniques, from registered varnishes to specialty matte or gloss finishes, to high-resolution Rotogravure graphics. Stand out on a shelf in a competitive environment and attract your consumers' attention.
