Small Animal Food Packaging
Packaging for Orchard Grass, First Cut, and Second Cut small animal food, large recloseable bags with header format.
Hay & Grass Products for Small Animals
Small animal food products like orchard grass, timothy hay first cut, and second cut require large-format bags that accommodate bulky, lightweight products while providing the recloseable convenience that pet owners expect. Friesen Plastics produces a dedicated program for small animal food in a consistent, retail-ready format.
All three formats, Orchard Grass, Second Cut, and First Cut, are produced in a standardized 15.25" × 13.25" format with a 7" bottom gusset, using 4-mil clear film with recloseable header closure. This generous gusset allows the bag to stand upright on retail shelves while accommodating the bulky nature of hay and grass products. The clear film lets consumers inspect product quality before purchase.

Packaging Features
Large Bottom Gusset
7-inch bottom gusset creates a flat, stable base for retail shelf display and allows the bag to expand for bulky hay and grass products.
Recloseable Header
Header closure with recloseable feature lets pet owners open and re-seal bags between feedings, maintaining hay freshness.
Product Visibility
4-mil clear polyethylene provides product visibility so consumers can inspect hay quality, colour, and freshness before purchasing.
Heavy-Duty 4 Mil
4-mil film thickness provides the puncture resistance needed for stiff hay stems and prevents tearing during shelf handling.
