Creative packaging solutions for pet products on International Cat Day

by Nicole Hines July 30, 2024 3 min read

As the pet product industry continues to boom, retailers are increasingly recognising the importance of high-quality packaging. According to Dogster, the number of pets in the UK rose by 9% between 2022 and 2023, with a staggering 50% increase in the number of small pets. With approximately 3,000 pet shops across the UK and an annual expenditure of £8 billion on pets, it's clear that this industry is thriving.

In such a flourishing market, it’s crucial not to overlook the packaging. Just because a product is for pets doesn’t mean the packaging has to be mundane. In fact, the packaging should reflect the love and care pet owners feel for their furry friends. As a nation of pet lovers, we understand the need forpackaging solutions that are as delightful and high-quality as the products they contain. With International Cat Day on 8th August and International Dog Day on 26th August, we wanted to showcase our creative packaging solutions for pet products.
