A game-changing approach to private-label wet pet food

If you want to revolutionise a category, you need to think both product and package. So Lidl’s approach to its new private-label Orlando and Coshida bites and pates involves locally sourced, fresh and 100% natural ingredients, packed in paper-based Tetra Recart packages.

Working in close collaboration with us and pet food manufacturer Pet Select, Lidl has become the first retailer in Spain to adopt Tetra Recart® for its private-label wet pet food brands. As Lidl themselves say, our retortable food packages “optimise storage, enhance food preservation, reduce energy consumption and carbon footprint, without compromising quality or taste”. Lidl went big with its Spanish launch of the new products, giving away hundreds of thousands of packs to grateful pet owners from its Pet Trucks. Launches in five other European countries are to follow.

3 reasons why Lidl chose Tetra Recart

It’s the package format that supports their innovation

Lidl aims to innovate in the pet food space. And in a market where cans dominate, Tetra Recart embodies that innovation. Indeed, Lidl’s pet food ranges have been recognised as the most innovative product in the private-label category of “Product of the Year 2025”, as voted by consumers – and endorsed by pets.

It’s in line with their sustainability ambitions

Carbon emissions from Tetra Recart are 85% lower1 than those of steel cans over the lifetime of the package. And the paperboard, which makes up at least 71% of the packaging material, comes from Forest Stewardship Council™ (FSC™) certified forests and other controlled sources.

It’s more practical and convenient for pet owners

Tetra Recart packages make life easier for pet owners. They are durable and lightweight, easy to store, open and empty, and have no sharp edges. What’s more, they are reclosable for storage in the fridge after opening. And because they are easy to flatten once empty, they take up less space when disposed of.

Pet Truck hits the road with free samples

When you have a product you’re proud of, you want to spread the word.

So Lidl filled its Pet Truck with nearly a quarter of a million samples of dog and cat food in Tetra Recart packages and hit the Spanish highways.

The launch campaign handed out samples in 11 Spanish cities, giving away sample packages at shopping centres around the country.
