Pet Care Packaging

High-Performance & Eye-Catching Packaging for Pet Food, Treats, and Supplies

Pet owners hold pet food, treats, and supplements to the same standards as their own food products. Packaging must perform in demanding environments, often exposed to oils, moisture, and extended shelf time, while maintaining visual appeal and clarity.

CL&D offers proven solutions for these challenges, offering material versatility, consistent color reproduction, and durability at scale. We partner with pet brands to ensure packaging performs reliably from production through consumer use.

Our printing capabilities deliver:

  • Vibrant, high‑impact graphics that attract attention on shelf
  • Durable inks and films designed for handling and transportation
  • Compatibility with a wide range of substrates and formats
  • Clear, legible printing for ingredients, nutrition, and regulatory details
  • Support for sustainability initiatives through material selection

Whether you need the efficiency, consistent color, and durability of high‑volume flexographic printing or the flexibility of digital printing for shorter runs, design changes, seasonal programs, and multiple SKUs, CL&D works closely with customers to select packaging structures and materials that balance product protection, usability, and shelf impact.
