Pet Food & Treat Bagging Equipment for Food, Treats, & Supplements
Pet Food Packaging Machinery and Dog Treat Bagging Equipment
Our pets are part of the family, and their food deserves the same care as our own. Pet owners increasingly seek pet food packaging machinery and dog treat bagging equipment that keeps food fresh, contamination-free, and easy to open, reseal, and store. The growing eco-conscious consumer base has also driven demand for sustainable pet food bagging equipment, prompting manufacturers to adopt recyclable and biodegradable materials. High-quality barrier materials protect against moisture, oxygen, and environmental factors that could compromise product quality. Innovations like vacuum sealing and modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) further enhance freshness and extend shelf life.
For supplements and nutraceuticals, pet food packing machines must ensure product stability and comply with stringent regulatory standards. These sensitive products require packaging that shields them from light, heat, and humidity. Additionally, tamper-evident and child-resistant features are crucial for consumer safety. Packaging serves as a key communication tool, offering detailed information on dosage, ingredients, and health benefits. As demand for health and wellness products grows, pet food bagging equipment with sustainable and innovative features will continue to play a vital role in meeting consumer expectations and industry regulations.

Matrix, as part of the ProMach Pet Care Vertical Market Team, focuses on delivering advanced pet food packaging machinery and dog treat bagging equipment tailored for the pet care industry. One standout solution is Pacraft's (formerly Toyo Jidoki) TT-8D-N pre-made pouch filler and sealer, recognized for its efficiency and versatility. This machine features 8 stations, including a heat seal and cooling station, ensuring fast and reliable sealing for various pet food and treat packaging applications.
Preserving the freshness and hygiene of pet food is essential, and the TT-8D-N pet food packing machine excels by accommodating diverse pouch formats and product types. Whether packaging stand-up, flat, or press-to-close pouches, this system delivers flexibility without compromising quality or speed.
Safety and sanitation are critical in pet food bagging equipment, and the TT-8D-N is designed to meet the highest hygiene standards. Its wash-down design and optional zipper opening ensure clean, contamination-free operations. Accessories such as product discharge conveyors, feeding hoppers, pouch opening detection devices, and heater disconnection alarms further enhance functionality and efficiency.
The TT-8D-N streamlines packaging while ensuring precision, making it a top choice for pet care manufacturers. One company, after evaluating their options, selected the Pacraft Model TT-8A2 pre-formed pouch fill and seal system from Matrix. They praised its seamless handling of 5 lb and 10 lb pouches, highlighting the system’s reliability and performance.
In addition to Pacraft systems, Matrix offers a complete range of vertical form fill seal (VFFS) machines made in the USA. These machines come in intermittent or continuous motion, with standard and high-sanitation designs to suit various pet food packaging needs. Matrix VFFS machines efficiently produce pillow, flat-bottom, and gusseted bags, providing versatility in bagging sizes and styles for pet food and treats.
