No matter how poorly the economy is performing, consumers are still willing to invest in their family pets.  People are buying nutritional products, trying new foods from "boutique" manufacturers, and even paying premium prices.  The pet food industry is catering to mobility and convenience of products with handled bags and pouches, single servings and easier to open packaging.  Pet food packaging generally follows many of the same trends and styles as packaging used for human food, which makes Combi an ideal choice for end-of-line packaging equipment.  Combi Packaging is a major supplier to the food and pet industry and has years of engineering experience providing custom end of line packaging machinery for a variety of packaging styles.
