At the 2026 PFA Supply Show (Asia Pet Supply Exhibition), protective pain points for large‑format pet food bags have once again become a key industry focus. As one of the pet industry's largest professional supply‑chain exhibitions, this edition gathers over 900 high‑quality suppliers spanning five major categories and 31 sub‑segments, including raw materials, OEM/ODM services, packaging and machinery equipment. It serves as a vital platform for tracking innovation trends across the upstream pet product industrial chain. Against this backdrop, Hangzhou Secia New Materials Industrial Co., Ltd. has unveiled its self‑developed patented product - CHOMOL. Redefining protection standards for large‑volume pet food packaging through structural material innovation, this solution emerged as one of the most‑talked‑about supply‑chain innovations at the show.
I. Emerging Industry Pain Points: The Hidden‑Cost Dilemma of Large‑Format Pet Food Bags
issue is rising labour costs
Woven PP sacks offer limited abrasion resistance. During long‑haul shipping, high‑stack storage and loading‑unloading operations, packages are prone to scuffs and tears caused by friction and compression, ruining printed graphics and blurring brand logos. For end consumers, scuffed and worn‑looking packaging can erode brand trust, even when the product inside remains intact.
cosmetic damage occurs during transportation and warehousing
Woven PP sacks offer limited abrasion resistance. During long‑haul shipping, high‑stack storage and loading‑unloading operations, packages are prone to scuffs and tears caused by friction and compression, ruining printed graphics and blurring brand logos. For end consumers, scuffed and worn‑looking packaging can erode brand trust, even when the product inside remains intact.
inadequate dust and contamination resistance
Large‑size pet food packages are exposed to dust and moisture throughout storage and trans‑shipment. Without effective barrier protection, product freshness and hygienic safety may be compromised, which negatively impacts feeding experience for pets.
These challenges point to an industry‑wide reality: the large‑format pet‑food segment has long lacked a professional material solution tailored to real‑world operational scenarios. Drawing on this insight, Secia Pack invested in in‑house R&D and launched its patented CHOMOL, aiming to reshape the protection logic for bulk pet‑food packaging at the material‑structure level.
II. Patented Breakthrough: How CHOMOL Redefines Dust‑ and Contamination‑Proof Performance via Material Innovation
The core innovation of CHOMOL replaces the physical‑protection logic of conventional woven PP sacks with optimized material‑structure design, delivering a "finished‑product‑on‑exit" solution. Integrated sealing can be completed directly on the production line with no additional manual sleeving process, cutting associated time and labour costs at source to drive cost reduction and efficiency gains.
In terms of performance design, CHOMOL balances multiple properties tailored to the core application scenarios of large‑format pet‑food packages:
Abrasion & Stain Resistance
Thanks to its patented material structure, CHOMOL outperforms traditional woven PP sacks. It resists friction and scuffs during transport, stacking and handling, reducing package surface damage and keeping brand looks consistent along the whole supply chain.
Dust & Contamination‑Proof
For large pet‑food bags exposed in storage and transit, CHOMOL's multi‑layer structure creates a solid barrier. It keeps out dust and dirt, better protecting pet food freshness and hygiene.
Easy‑Tear Opening
Besides strong wear resistance, CHOMOL is user‑friendly. Peel off the outer protective layer, and you get a perfectly printed inner pouch with full‑bright graphics for great shelf display.
This design philosophy of "balancing protection and user experience" represents the core value that sets CHOMOL apart from conventional outer‑sack solutions. Historically, trade‑offs had to be made between protection level, opening convenience and shelf appeal. Through material‑structure innovation, CHOMOL achieves a superior balance among all these attributes. Packaging innovation is a systematic supply‑chain project rather than a standalone pouch product. CHOMOL systematically reshapes the protection framework for large‑format pet‑food packaging across production workflow, material architecture and end‑user experience.
III. More Than a Single Pouch: Secia Pack's Systematic Supply‑Chain Capabilities as Backing
The technical breakthrough of CHOMOL is not an isolated product innovation. It builds upon Secia Pack's long‑term, systematic investment in flexible‑packaging expertise. To scale packaging innovations successfully, three indispensable pillars are required: patent protection, automated production lines and an in‑house R&D laboratory.
Patent‑protected Intellectual Property
In terms of patent protection, the core material structure and process design of CHOMOL are covered by proprietary intellectual property rights. This safeguards its technical edge and creates differentiation from homogeneous competition. Amid widespread price‑driven competition across the packaging sector, patented technology has become a vital asset for a handful of manufacturers to preserve bargaining power and brand premium.
Large‑Scale Automated Production
For automated manufacturing, Secia Pack runs large‑scale production with a daily output of 40 million finished pouches and 50 tons of roll‑stock films. The integrated sealing process for CHOMOL is scaled via this automated system. It guarantees consistent product performance while meeting client requirements on lead‑time and production flexibility.
In‑house R&D & Closed‑loop Testing
As for the in‑house R&D laboratory, Secia maintains a Class‑10 000 clean‑lab facility and a 20‑member dedicated R&D team, delivering solid technical support for continuous iteration of new‑material solutions such as CHOMOL. Closed‑loop testing can be completed internally, covering formula screening, structural‑layer design, and practical verification of critical indicators including abrasion resistance and barrier performance. This greatly shortens the cycle from new‑product development to mass production.
Cross‑line Technical & Certification Backing
The technical foundation behind CHOMOL stems from the same capability pool built up across Secia's other product lines, including pet‑food flexible packaging and GMP‑grade pharmaceutical packaging. The company also operates GMP‑compliant packaging workshops for biopharmaceutical and premium health‑food applications, featuring Class‑100 000 cleanliness and dynamic pressure‑difference control above 10 Pa. It holds multiple certifications including ISO9001, ISO14001, ISO13485, FSSC22000, BRC and QS, enabling rigorous quality management for new‑material development for large‑format packaging scenarios.
IV. From Product Innovation to Industrial Collaboration: The B2B Service Logic Behind CHOMOL
Positioned as a patented dust‑ and contamination‑proof solution for large‑format pet‑food packaging, CHOMOL covers the full value‑chain spanning production, warehousing, logistics and end‑consumer usage. For B2B clients including pet‑food manufacturers and distributors, its value can be interpreted from three dimensions:
The integrated "finished‑product‑on‑exit" sealing process eliminates the manual sleeving step required for conventional woven PP outer sacks. It enables clients to shorten production lead‑time and cut overall costs without compromising protective performance.
Superior abrasion and stain resistance substantially reduces cosmetic damage during transportation and storage. It allows brands to deliver intact, crisp packaging to end consumers even at the last mile of distribution, mitigating brand‑trust erosion caused by damaged packages.
With CHOMOL, Secia Pack aims to build deeper partnerships with pet‑food brands and distribution channels. Rather than merely supplying packaging materials, it leverages material‑innovation expertise, automated production capacity and in‑house R&D laboratory resources to act as a reliable long‑term technical partner for clients pursuing supply‑chain cost optimisation and brand upgrading.
Unveiled at the 2026 PFA Supply Show, CHOMOL reflects a profound shift in competition dynamics within the pet‑industry supply chain. As industry rivalry shifts from front‑end marketing campaigns toward behind‑the‑scenes competition over supply‑chain efficiency and product experience, players that achieve technical breakthroughs in "invisible" links such as packaging will be better positioned to gain an upper hand in the next round of industry reshuffling.
