Fres-Pet Study
(Petfood Industry July/August 1997)
Fres-co System USA, Inc. has developed advanced pet food packaging systems technology. Fres-pet™ allows the pet food industry to deliver fresher, more natural, healthier diets in spite of the rigors of shipping and storage.
Fres-pet™ barrier packaging has been proven to provide 30% greater resistance to tear than
conventional paper structures, and is superior in resisting the types of damage incurred during shipping, handling and distribution. It is highly resistant to grease and it prevents odor escape, which can lead to infestation.
Consumers recognize the Fres-pet™ quality advantage as well. Independent studies indicate that dog food preserved by barrier packaging alone (i.e. no antioxidants added) was consumed at much higher levels versus the same dog food preserved by paper and polypropylene (OPP) liner.
Fres-co manufactures and sells a full spectrum of pet food packaging material. Our comprehensive systems approach ensures seamless integration of technology and innovation, packaging materials & valves, packaging equipment and service.
