At PPC Flex, we believe packaging should be purposeful, powerful—and prepared. As the pet food industry undergoes a major shift with AAFCO’s Pet Food Label Modernization (PFLM) initiative, brands need more than just a packaging supplier. They need a packaging partner who can help them navigate change with confidence.
That’s where our Art and Graphic Services team steps in.
What is PFLM?
PFLM is the most significant overhaul to pet food labeling in decades. Led by the Association of American Feed Control Officials (AAFCO), the initiative is designed to make pet food labels clearer and more consumer-friendly. Changes include:
- Front-of-pack nutrient highlights
- Simplified ingredient and guaranteed analysis panels
- Clearer feeding directions and calorie statements
- More prominent nutritional adequacy statements
For pet food brands, these updates impact more than just the label—they influence the overall packaging strategy, from boxed pouches and stand-up pouches to rollstock.
How PPC Flex Can Help
Our in-house Art and Graphic Services team collaborates with pet food brands to bring these label updates to life in a way that’s not only compliant—but also compelling.
Label Review and Strategic Redesign
We’ll work with your team to assess how your current packaging aligns with PFLM requirements and identify areas for improvement. Whether it’s adding a calorie box to the front panel or reformatting your guaranteed analysis on a stand-up pouch, we ensure the layout remains both functional and beautiful.
On-Trend, Brand-Aligned Design
Compliance doesn’t have to mean compromise. Our design team can refresh your pet packaging to meet the new standards while preserving your brand identity—and enhancing shelf appeal. Clean, bold, pet-parent-friendly layouts are our specialty, whether you’re using box pouches, rollstock, or any other format.
Efficient Updates Across SKUs
Need to apply these changes across dozens of items or formats? Our graphics experts use optimized workflows to streamline versioning across different package types—ensuring fast, consistent updates whether you’re printing on laminated rollstock or converting to a preformed pouch.
