85g pet wet food retort pouch
85g Wet Cat Food Retort Stand Up Pouch
High-Temperature Sterilization Packaging for OEM & Pet Food Brands
In the wet cat food market, 85g single-serve portions have become one of the most popular formats. However, successful commercialization depends not only on the recipe, but also on selecting the right high-temperature retort packaging pouch.
Our 85g Wet Cat Food Retort Stand Up Pouch is specifically engineered for high-moisture, high-protein pet food that requires thermal sterilization at 121–135°C, ensuring food safety, packaging integrity, and strong shelf performance.
Key Packaging Pain Points in Wet Cat Food Production
1. Pouch Delamination or Leakage After Retort Processing
Many standard laminated pouches fail under high temperature, high pressure, and long sterilization cycles, leading to:
* Layer separation (delamination)
* Seal failure or pinholes
* Product leakage and batch rejection
Our Solution:
We use retort-grade laminated structures that are fully tested for thermal stability, ensuring consistent performance during and after sterilization.
2. Oil Migration and Reduced Shelf Life
Wet cat food contains high levels of fats and oils. Inadequate barrier materials can cause:
* Oil seepage
* Oxidation and off-odors
* Shortened shelf life
Our Solution:
High-barrier material options effectively block oxygen, moisture, and grease, maintaining product quality throughout storage and distribution.
3. Small 85g Format Requires Higher Seal Accuracy
Smaller pouches offer less margin for error:
* Narrow sealing areas
* Higher risk of seal rupture during retort
Our Solution:
We optimize pouch dimensions, seal width, and sealing strength specifically for 85g wet cat food filling and retort processes, compatible with automated filling lines.
Recommended Material Structures for Wet Cat Food Retort Pouches
Standard Retort Structure (Most Popular)
PET / NY / RCPP
* Retort resistance up to 121–135°C
* High puncture resistance for meat chunks
* Excellent heat-seal performance
* Widely used in wet cat and dog food packaging
High-Barrier Retort Structure
PET / AL / NY/ RCPP
* Superior oxygen and light barrier
* Extended shelf life
* Ideal for premium or export-oriented brands
* Not suitable for transparent window designs
** Material selection is based on sterilization conditions, product texture, target market, and cost expectations—not a one-size-fits-all approach.
