Plexpack equipment handles diverse wet food formats, including bag-in-box pouches, flexible packaging, and pouch configurations. Our wet dog food packaging solutions offer critical advantages:

  • Format versatility: Accommodate different shapes, volumes, and materials with modular configurations designed for your production requirements.
  • Quality consistency: Maintain consistent seal quality across multiple product lines without investing in separate systems.
  • Reduced downtime: Modular equipment allows quick changeovers between formats, maximizing production efficiency and minimizing costly line stoppages.

Continuous band sealers from Emplex deliver strong, hermetic seals on thick gusseted bags at speeds up to 1,500 inches per minute. These dog food bag sealers handle demanding production requirements:

  • High-volume capacity: Seal challenging 50-pound formats and multi-layer films without compromising seal integrity, even on heavy-duty materials common in bulk pet food packaging.
  • Long-term freshness protection: Since bulk purchases often lead to longer consumption periods, the initial bag seal is critical to preventing moisture exposure over time.
  • Hygienic design: Washdown models with NEMA 4- and 4X-rated enclosures support thorough cleaning in production environments, addressing the demanding requirements of pet food production.

Shrink bundlers from Damark create retail-ready multi-packs of cans, cartons, or bags for efficient distribution. These systems deliver results across product ranges:

  • Flexible configurations: Semi-automated and manual options provide tight, secure bundles that enhance supply chain stability.
  • Scalable solutions: Handle everything from small-format pouches to large bags, ideal for creating value packs.
  • Professional presentation: Consistent shrink wrapping creates shelf-ready packages that attract customer attention and improve product visibility on crowded retail shelves.
