In the agricultural and animal feed industries, packaging plays a vital role in preserving product quality, preventing contamination, and ensuring safe transport. But with increasing environmental concerns, the type of packaging you choose matters more than ever. At Peter Marsh Group, we help animal feed manufacturers transition from plastic to durable, eco-friendly paper sacks, without sacrificing performance.
Why Packaging Matters in the Feed Industry
Animal feed products often come in heavy, granular, or powdered forms. They require strong, reliable animal feed packaging that can withstand stacking, moisture, and rough handling during distribution. At the same time, feed producers face increasing pressure to reduce plastic waste and improve sustainability.
Paper sacks, when properly manufactured, can match or even exceed the performance of plastic alternatives—while offering major environmental benefits.
Benefits of Paper Sacks for Animal Feed Packaging
Switching to paper packaging delivers several advantages for businesses in the feed industry:
- Strength and durability – Our multi-wall paper sacks are built to hold significant weight while resisting tearing and puncturing during transport and storage.
- Environmental impact – Made from renewable sources, paper sacks are biodegradable and recyclable, helping reduce your carbon footprint and landfill waste.
- Breathability – Paper naturally allows for air movement, which can reduce condensation and spoilage in certain feed types.
- Compliance and safety – Paper packaging meets strict industry hygiene and food safety standards, including moisture protection where required.
Stand Out with Sustainable Branding
In a competitive marketplace, packaging isn’t just functional, it’s also a marketing tool. Choosing sustainable packaging shows your customers and supply chain partners that you care about the environment.
With Peter Marsh Group, you can print your brand directly on the sack along with recycling symbols, eco-friendly certifications, or sustainability messaging. It’s a great way to build trust with buyers who increasingly favour responsible suppliers.
Flexible Options for Different Animal Feed Types
Whether you’re packaging bulk animal feed, supplements, grains, or speciality mixes, we offer a variety of sack options:
- Open-mouth sacks for manual or automated filling
- Valve sacks for high-speed operations
- Optional liners for moisture-sensitive products
- Custom sizes to suit pallet or warehouse needs
Our team will work closely with you to develop a solution tailored to your products and processes.
Meeting Retailer and Supply Chain Expectations
Large distributors and agricultural retailers are under increasing pressure to reduce plastic in their supply chains. By making the switch to paper, your business not only improves its environmental credentials—it also aligns with the demands of key customers and partners.
Some of our clients have used their transition to paper packaging as a selling point when bidding for new contracts or renewing supplier agreements, demonstrating leadership in sustainability and compliance.
Transitioning Is Simpler Than You Think
Switching to paper doesn’t have to disrupt your operations. We provide a seamless process, including:
- 1. A quick review of your current packaging and packing line setup
- 2. Free sample testing with your actual feed product
- 3. Support for artwork, printing, and branding
- 4. Full-scale production and delivery, timed to fit your supply chain
We’ll help ensure that your move to paper enhances—not interrupts—your packaging workflow.
