What the packaging needs to solve
Dry food bags balance protection, weight and repeated use.
The choice depends on fill weight, kibble size, fat content, shelf-life target, filling method, retail channel and distribution.
Seals, gussets and lifting areas need evaluation at actual fill weight.
Zippers or other reclose directions can support repeated consumer use for multi-serve packs.
Opening width, bag presentation and sealing area should match the packing operation.
Base shape, panel area and finished dimensions affect display and home storage.
Carton, pallet, stacking and transport conditions should inform the final specification.
