Pet Product Packaging is designed to protect products, preserve freshness and create a memorable brand experience. Pet food and pet care products require clear product information, durable materials and attractive packaging that performs from production to the retail shelf.
Labels Lab manufactures Pet Product Packaging for pet food brands, treat manufacturers, pet supplement companies and pet care product lines. Our packaging solutions combine premium printing, durable materials and eye-catching finishes to help products stand out while maintaining quality throughout storage, shipping and retail display.
AAFCO requires the following on pet food labels sold in the US:
Some states may have additional labelling expectations beyond standard AAFCO guidelines. California, New York and several other states require registration of pet food products and may mandate additional labelling elements. Our consultants can help identify state-specific labelling considerations for your distribution footprint.

Pet supplements such as glucosamine, probiotics, vitamins and CBD products are often labelled differently from traditional pet food products. Product classification can vary depending on the ingredients, intended use and sales channel.
Most pet supplements on the market use AAFCO - style labelling with a guaranteed analysis and ingredient list, even when not commonly used across all product categories - because it is what pet owners and retail buyers expect.
For CBD pet products, labelling approaches can vary across retailers and distribution channels.
We have worked with pet treat brands, raw food companies, functional supplement brands and grooming product lines. In each case, we review artwork using AAFCO labelling guidelines, check ingredient list formatting, verify guaranteed analysis placement and confirm the nutritional adequacy statement is appropriate for the product.
The Zoomie Bakery partnership, where Labels Lab produced custom pouches for their dog treat line, is one example. The pouches needed the full AAFCO panel on the back with correct ingredient list and guaranteed analysis, plus attractive front-panel photography printing that would stand out at retail. We delivered both.
Pet owners open pet food packaging multiple times. A bag that does not reseal properly or loses its seal integrity after a few openings creates a poor product experience and leads to negative reviews.
Labels Lab’s stand-up pouches for pet food use high-quality zipper seals tested for reseal integrity over multiple open-close cycles. We test seal strength as part of our pre-ship quality inspection.
