Topeka, KS-based Hill's Pet Nutrition Inc. is integrating PRESS-LOK® closure technology from Velcro Industries into some of its pet food packaging to ensure an easy, consumer friendly experience. The new packages are produced by Peel Plastic Products Ltd.

The PRESS-LOK closure contains an easy alignment that allows the hooks to engage without precise line-up, securing closure with great burst strength to maintain the package integrity that Hill’s Science Diet customers expect. The PRESS-LOK closure has an audible click, allowing consumers to hear their pet food packages open and close, ensuring a tight seal, even if kibble crumbs get on the fastener surface.
