3. Manufacturing Process Flow: From Raw Film to Finished Pet Food Pouch

Schematic: Step-by-step fabrication and QC of pet food pouch

1. Raw Material Selection: Multilayer high-barrier films (PET/Alu/PE/PA) are selected based on barrier, printability, mechanical strength, and regulatory compliance (FDA/SGS/BRCGS certified).
2. Printing (Rotogravure): Up to 10-color high-definition surface or reverse printing; ink is food-grade and complies with Swiss Ordinance.
3. Lamination: Solvent-based or solvent-free adhesive lamination combines film layers to achieve necessary barrier and strength properties.
4. Curing: Laminated film is aged in temperature-controlled rooms (18–24 hrs) to fully crosslink adhesives, preventing delamination and odor transfer.
5. Slitting & Bag Making: Precision slitting into rolls; high-speed, servo-driven machines cut to size, add zippers/spouts, punch handles, create gussets/base, and apply shape designs.
6. Quality Inspection: 100% visual inspection, leak tests (ASTM F1140), and random oxygen/water vapor permeability checks per ISO 15106-3.
7. Final Packing & Logistics: Packed in dust-free environment and shipped worldwide with full batch traceability (QR/barcode system).
