Why more and more brands choose spout pouches？

When you are going to choose the packaging of your products，especially liquid products like juice，puree，saucing，there may be 3 options in front of you: bottle, jar, spout pouch. Which one do you prefer? Nowadays, more and more brands tend to choose spout pouches. Let me tell you why.

 

What is spout pouch?
Spout pouch is one of the types of flexible packaging industry. The difference between spout pouches and other flexible packaging lie in the SPOUT. It is designed in build-in spout and the lid. It is easier for the transportation, usage, protection and easy to carry.
Today, spout pouches are widely used in all kinds of liquid products like juice, baby food, condiments，laundry detergent，cleaning products, etc.

Why more and more brands switch to the spout pouches？
Cost Saving & Freight Saving
Spout pouches are significantly lightweight and good for the shipment. Spout pouches are lighter than other packaging options (such as bottles or other rigid jar). Our pouches are flexible, more pieces can be packed into a single box, making them an excellent choice for freight and cost saving and be helpful to improve overall supply chain efficiency. In addition, spout pouches are also highly durable and resistant to breakage.

Flexible Design
In comparison to the printing limitations of bottles and jars, one of the biggest advantages of flexible packaging is that the entire surface of the pouch can be used for design, allowing brands to fully convey their intended message. Even the spout part also can be designed in different shapes. Moreover, it supports various high-end and characteristic techniques such as gold and silver foil stamping, UV coating and transparent window which help make the product stand out while also providing excellent protection for the products inside.

AL— consists of a solid layer of aluminum foil, providing very high barrier properties; both the OTR and WVTR are approximately 0. Theoretically, this material is completely impermeable, so it is opaque and quite thick. For spout pouches, if the product has high fluidity and strict freshness requirements, AL is generally the preferred choice. Most of our clinets will choose AL layers for its products like juice，puree，saucing.However，some brand owners will choose VMPET layer also，because VMPET can save the budget and be more economic. VMPET's raw materials are about 15% cheaper than AL's.

Powerful Load-bearing capacity

Spout pouches are thin and flexible, but it does not mean it is vulnerable, on the contrary, it is tough and leak-proof. The load-bearing layer is the most inner layer of the pouch, it can be PE, CPP, RCPP, the thickness determines the load-bearing capacity and the size determines the volume. Some heavy liquid washing products like 5kg, 10kg, can also choose spout pouch or other flexible bags for the packaging. The material of the pouch is good for hot sealing too, as long as the machine's temperature is well controlled, it can ensure that the bags will not leak or damage from the heat.

Green and Recyclable

For jar and bottle, it seems to be very hard to achieve the green packaging, which is recyclable or degradable. And spout pouch can achieve that. As the regular pouches, we can change the packaging composition and formula to be good and helpful to the environment. No packaging is perfect, but we must do our best to improve the materials and production processes to make a green future together

Convenient Usage and Easy to Carry

Spouts pouches are very useful for the outdoor activities and the life. When you walk on the street, you can simply unscrew the lids, enjoy the inside products and then screw the lid again, it will be become sealed again. And then just need to put in back to the pocket, bag and do not need to worry that it will pour out.

For babies, the biggest issue most parents care about is the safety and convenience, spout pouches are not vulnerable but babies are vulnerable.

This will bring latent danger, as the packaging may fall and crack the pieces, and it will hurt babies’ skin. However, the spout pouches are light and soft, and it will not hurt babies’ skin.

The biggest advantage of the spout pouches are not only safety for the babies, but also in easy feeding. The volume of the each feeding is easy control by squeezing the pouch to avoid choking.
