Fairview Mills knows that pet food and ingredients are often cheaper to transport in bags than loose products. Fairview Mills is a J-Six Enterprises company. This means that we can transload your bulk pet food ingredients and bag them as per your instructions. It's much easier to move your products from raw material to ready-to-use pet foods. For example, send us whole corn. Our team will load it, mill it, then package it according to your specifications. The raw corn can now be used for the next step of the pet food processing process.
THE FAIRVIEW MILLS TREATMENT
Packaging pet food ingredients in bags or tins is a decision that must be made. Each pet food ingredient is tested for moisture, nutrient loss, and other metrics in our analytical lab. Next, we vigorously sift your ingredients to get rid of as much dust and chaff. This process will improve the quality of pet food ingredients and ensure that your fifty-pound bag is completely filled with your product, not with chaff or dust. It will make it easier to track inventory accurately when you know that a 50-pound bag of corn Gluten is actually fifty pounds.

Fairview Mills strives to provide solutions for any pet food ingredient supplier that may be facing problems. We offer small and big quantity bags options, both paper and poly, as well multiple sealing methods. Each bag has its own pros and cons.
