How to choose
How to choose custom pet packaging
Four questions decide the box, the board and the finish. Not sure? Send what you know and we suggest the rest.
Should you pack pet treats in a stand-up pouch or a paperboard carton?
Use a resealable stand-up pouch for jerky, freeze-dried raw bites and moist training treats that need a press-to-close zipper between feedings; pouch films and barrier layers are confirmed with your quote. Choose a paperboard folding carton or gable box (from 1,000) for baked dog biscuits, dental chews and individually wrapped packets that stack on retail shelves.
How do you keep high-fat pet treats from staining paperboard boxes?
Baked biscuits, salmon skin treats and meat chews contain natural oils that can wick into unlined board. You can pack treats inside a sealed inner bag within a printed paperboard carton (from 1,000) or request food-safe materials and grease-resistant coatings made in a partner's certified facility.
Which box style works for pet toys, collars, harnesses and grooming tools?
Use a reverse-tuck or auto-lock bottom carton (from 1,000) with an open die-cut window or clear film window and a reinforced hang tab. Shoppers in pet stores can see or feel the plush fabric, rope weave or rubber texture while the box hangs cleanly on peg hooks.
How do you ship monthly pet toy and treat boxes without heavy items crushing the biscuits?
Use a two-sided printed E-flute or B-flute corrugated subscription mailer (from 250) fitted with a custom corrugated divider that separates heavy rubber chew toys, canned food or liquid supplement bottles from fragile treat bags.
| If you sell… | Recommended pack | Board / material | Key option |
|---|---|---|---|
| Jerky, freeze-dried raw or soft training treats | Stand-up pouch with press-to-close zipper | Barrier pouch film (confirmed with quote) | Clear window + tear notches |
| Baked dog biscuits, dental sticks or cat treats | Auto-lock bottom or gable treat box (from 1,000) | SBS white paperboard or natural kraft | Food-safe materials on request + die-cut window |
| Plush toys, chew bones, collars or leashes | Pet toy window box with hang tab (from 1,000) | Sturdy 18–24pt SBS or kraft paperboard | Open touch window + euro-slot hang tab |
| Pet calming drops, salmon oil or soft-chew tubs | Pet supplement carton (from 1,000) + jar label (from 500) | Matte laminated paperboard + BOPP film label | Die-cut bottle insert + oil-resistant label |
| Monthly dog or cat subscription club | Roll-end tuck-front mailer box (from 250) | White or kraft E-flute corrugated | Two-sided print + corrugated divider + insert card |
Box styles
Which custom pet treat box style should I choose?
| Box style | Best treat type | Window & display | Closure & carry |
|---|---|---|---|
| Window folding carton | Oven-baked dog biscuits, crunchy cat treats, jerky | Bone, paw or rectangle clear film window | Reclosable top tuck flap |
| Gable treat box | Pet bakery iced cookies, birthday bark boxes, gift sets | Optional front peek window | Built-in top carry handle |
| Auto lock bottom box | Heavy 12–16 oz biscuit cartons and dental chew packs | Optional window or solid billboard | Top tuck or tear-strip tab |
| Hang tab pegboard carton | Small-breed training bites, catnip mice & single chews | Front window + euro or J-hook tab | Top and bottom tuck flaps |
| Counter display (PDQ) box | Individually wrapped bully sticks, yak chews, cookie bars | Fold-up billboard header + open tray | Tear-away perforated hood |
| Tray and sleeve gift box | Decorated dog birthday cookies and holiday assortments | Clear sleeve or window over divider tray | Slide-out drawer tray |

Rules and labeling
Pet packaging requirements
What the packaging may need to show or meet. The wording on your packaging stays yours; we print it as you send it.
- 01
FDA animal food labeling & AAFCO Guaranteed Analysis panels (21 CFR Part 501)
Under 21 CFR Part 501 and state feed rules aligned with AAFCO model regulations, pet food and treat packages display product identity, intended species (such as 'For Dogs' or 'For Cats'), net weight, an ingredient list in descending order by weight, a Guaranteed Analysis table (crude protein, fat, fiber and moisture), nutritional adequacy or snack wording, and feeding directions; we size back panels and labels so every table prints legibly, and the wording on your packaging stays yours. FDA — Pet Food Labeling & Regulation (21 CFR Part 501)
- 02
Food-contact materials for pet food & treats (21 CFR Parts 174–177)
Direct-contact inner pouch layers and grease-resistant board coatings used for high-fat jerky, biscuits and toppers are regulated as food-contact substances. Food-safe materials and lab test documentation from a partner's certified facility are available on request when your packaging touches pet food; the wording on your packaging stays yours. FDA — Packaging & Food Contact Substances (FCS)
- 03
Truthful recycling & environmental marketing claims (FTC Green Guides, 16 CFR Part 260)
Under the FTC Green Guides (16 CFR Part 260), environmental claims printed on paperboard treat boxes, labels or multi-layer barrier pouches—such as 'recyclable' or 'made with recycled content'—must be truthful, substantiated and clearly qualified when curbside recycling is not available to a substantial majority of consumers; the wording on your packaging stays yours. FTC — Guides for the Use of Environmental Marketing Claims (16 CFR Part 260)
- 04
Retail pet store & marketplace barcodes (GS1 US)
Pet specialty chains, independent boutiques and online marketplaces require scannable GS1 UPC-A barcodes printed with high contrast and quiet zones on a flat panel of the pouch, box or jar label; the wording on your packaging stays yours. GS1 US — Barcodes & Identification Standards
Ideas
Custom pet packaging ideas
Example designs for made-up brands, to show what each option looks like.
Stand-up treat pouch with bone-shaped window
Show real baked biscuits or jerky strips through a custom window on a resealable stand-up pouch while keeping the top zipper panel bold for shelf branding.
Open-window pegboard box for plush & rope toys
Combine a reinforced euro-slot hang tab with an open front cutout so shoppers can squeeze a squeaker or feel the rope texture without opening the box.
Color-coded flavor family for biscuits & toppers
Keep one master dieline across peanut butter, salmon and beef recipes and swap bold color-blocked bands and foil accents for each SKU.
Two-sided monthly pet club subscription mailer
Print playful paw-and-geometric graphics inside a corrugated mailer lid and add a corrugated divider to separate heavy chew toys from treat bags.
