1. Multi-Layer Moisture Defense Systems
1.1 Inner Liners: PE, OPP, and Light-Blocking Solutions
VidePak integrates food-grade polyethylene (PE) or oriented polypropylene (OPP) liners (thickness: 50–100 microns) to create hermetic seals. Key features include:
- Black PE liners: Block 99% UV radiation (tested per ASTM D4329), preventing fat oxidation in high-lipid pet foods.
- Anti-static OPP: Surface resistance ≤10^8 Ω (IEC 61340-4-4), eliminating dust attraction during filling.
Case Study: A European pet food brand reduced spoilage by 35% after adopting black-lined bags for salmon-based kibble stored in tropical climates.
1.2 Advanced Coating and Lamination Technologies
- Water-based acrylic coatings: Achieve <0.5 g/m²/24h water vapor transmission rate (WVTR, ASTM E96).
- BOPP lamination: Adds 20–30 micron moisture barriers while enabling high-definition 8-color branding.
2. Structural Design for Logistics Efficiency
2.1 Pallet-Friendly Dimensions and Anti-Slip Features
VidePak’s bags are engineered for seamless integration into automated supply chains:
- Standard sizes: 50×80 cm (fits EUR-pallets), 40×60 cm (for US grocery aisles).
- Diamond-patterned surfaces: Increase friction coefficient to 0.5 (DIN 51131), preventing stack collapses during transit.
2.2 RFID-Enabled Tracking and Tamper Evidence
- UHF RFID tags: Embedded in seams for real-time GPS monitoring (ISO 18000-6C).
- Breakable seals: Tamper-evident designs meet FDA 21 CFR Part 11 compliance.

4. FAQs: Addressing Critical Buyer Concerns
Q1: How do black liners improve pet food quality?
A: They block UV rays, reducing vitamin degradation by 70% (tested on vitamin A over 12 months under 5000 lux lighting).
Q2: Can bags withstand freezer storage (-18°C)?
A: Yes. Our low-temperature PP retains flexibility at -30°C, while PE liners resist brittleness.
Q3: What’s the MOQ for custom-printed designs?
A: Standard MOQ is 10,000 bags, but pilot runs of 2,000 bags are available for market testing.
Q4: How do you ensure ink safety for pet food contact?
A: All inks are APEO-free and comply with Nestlé Guidance on Packaging Inks.
Q5: Do you offer compostable options?
A: Our PLA-lined bags decompose in 180 days under industrial composting (EN 13432).
5. Case Study: Premium Cat Food Brand Expansion
A US startup entering Asian markets faced clumping issues in humid regions. VidePak implemented:
- 100-micron OPP liners + matte BOPP lamination: Reduced humidity ingress to 0.3% over 6 months.
- QR code integration: Enabled multi-language nutritional info access.
Results:
- 28% longer shelf life (from 12 to 15.4 months).
- 50% faster retail onboarding via GS1-compliant labeling.
