The spout pouch is a packaging form that is based on the traditional self-standing bag and is equipped with a hard plastic spout opening with a screw cap through heat sealing technology on the top or side. It is usually made of multi-layer high-performance composite films to meet different protection requirements for the contents.
The spout pouch is not only an evolution in packaging form, but also an innovation in business model and consumer experience. By perfectly integrating the convenience of hard packaging with the economy and design flexibility of soft packaging, it provides brand owners with a powerful competitive weapon in the market and brings unprecedented convenience and fun to consumers. With the advancement of material science and filling technology, its application scope will surely expand further.
Type | Description and Advantages | Typical Applications |
Standard suction bag | The suction nozzle is installed at the top corner of the bag, which is the most common type. It is convenient for pouring and easy to control. | It is suitable for beverages, juices, water, and functional drinks. |
Inclined nozzle bag | The suction nozzle is installed at a certain angle, making the pouring more in line with human engineering, and enabling a more thorough emptying of the contents. | It is used for condiments (oil, soy sauce), laundry detergent. |
Flat suction bag | The suction nozzle is designed to be wider and flatter, making it convenient for pouring thick liquids or sauces containing solids. | It is suitable for tomato sauce, jam, baby food, and sauces. |
Zippered suction bag | Combines the functions of the suction nozzle and the zipper closure. The suction nozzle is used for pouring, and the zipper is used for long-term sealing and preservation. | It is suitable for powdery products that are prone to moisture, such as powdered milk, protein powder, and coffee powder. |
The Spout Pouch has already penetrated into multiple industries, particularly in the fields of liquid and viscous substance packaging:
1. Food and Beverages:
Infant food: Fruit puree, vegetable puree, yogurt (can be sucked directly, hygienic and convenient).
Adult beverages: Juice, tea, liquid coffee, protein drink, energy drink.
Seasonings: Cooking oil, soy sauce, vinegar, tomato sauce, syrup.
Soups and sauces: Concentrated soup, Italian pasta sauce, curry.
2. Daily Chemicals:
Detergents: Laundry detergent, fabric softener, dishwashing liquid.
Personal care products: Shampoo, body wash, hand sanitizer (especially travel-sized and refillable).
3. Industry and Automobile:
Lubricants, engine oil: Lightweight, leak-proof, easy to pour and store.
Chemical preparations: Supplementary packs of various industrial liquid chemicals.
With the advancements in materials science and filling technology, the functions and application scope of Spout Pouch will continue to expand, making it one of the mainstream choices in the future packaging market.
No need to cut with scissors, no additional containers required. Just open the lid and pour or suck out the contents. Perfect for use on the go.
The screw cap provides a highly reliable airtight and liquid-tight seal, effectively preventing leakage, oxidation and contamination, and extending the shelf life.
Compared to glass bottles, metal cans or hard plastic bottles of the same capacity, it uses less material, significantly reduces weight, and can significantly lower logistics and transportation costs.
The large flat surface of the bag provides an excellent canvas for high-quality, eye-catching pattern printing, giving a strong visual impact on the shelves.
Easy to hold, pour and control the flow rate, especially popular among families with children.
Less material usage and low carbon footprint; and the empty bag has a small volume, reducing landfill space.
