Safeguarding your Pets and the Planet

Case Studies

We love working with brands that care deeply about their products, their customers, and the planet. So when T. Forrest—a fifth-generation family business crafting natural dog treats since 1937—approached us with a packaging challenge, we knew it was a perfect match.

T. Forrest’s mission is simple: deliver health, nutrition, and happiness through every treat. Their products are made with high-quality, natural ingredients and are trusted by pet owners across the UK. But they wanted their packaging to reflect the same care and responsibility they put into their treats.

The Challenge:

T. Forrest needed packaging that would:

  • Protect the freshness and quality of their treats
  • Stand out on shelves with a premium look and feel
  • Align with their sustainability goals

They were looking for a solution that didn’t compromise on performance or presentation—and that’s where we came in.

The Solution:

We worked closely with the team at T. Forrest to develop a recyclable mono-material film that ticked all the boxes. The new packaging:

  • Is fully recyclable, helping reduce environmental impact
  • Offers excellent barrier properties to preserve freshness
  • Features a high-quality print finish that enhances shelf appeal

The result? A packaging solution that’s as thoughtful and natural as the treats inside.

 

 

The Outcome:

T. Forrest were thrilled with the final product—and so were we. It’s always rewarding to help a customer bring a product to market that they truly love. Their new packaging not only supports their brand values but also resonates with eco-conscious pet owners.

“National Flexible took our brief for the pouch and ticked every box!” "Our mission is to help pet owners give their pets long and happy lives by providing nutritious treats from 100% natural ingredients that are locally sourced. Having a recyclable pack is very important to us and National Flexible worked with us to create the perfect pack. We are so pleased with it,” said Charlotte Wallbank, T-Forrest.

Why It Matters:

In today’s market, packaging is more than just a wrapper—it’s a statement. Consumers are increasingly looking for products that reflect their values, and brands like T. Forrest are leading the way. By choosing recyclable materials and working with partners who understand their goals, they’re showing that it’s possible to combine tradition, quality, and innovation.

“We’re proud to have helped T. Forrest safeguard pets and the planet with packaging that performs beautifully and supports sustainability.”
