Packaging firm Amcor has teamed up with Petino and Sea Fairy to develop a card-style, single-dose delivery system for pet nutrition products. The design features pre-scored fold lines for easy opening, removing the need for scissors or manual measuring.
Why it matters
This partnership aims to simplify the delivery of sensitive pet supplements by using high-barrier film to prevent oxidation. The initiative intends to help Chinese brands scale their product offerings and packaging solutions for a global audience.
