Pouch Packaging Guide
Pouch packaging is one of the most flexible formats for food, pet, refill, personal care, and consumer products.
Pouch packaging should be selected by product form, fill weight, shelf display, closure need, barrier risk, filling method, and launch volume, then matched to stand up, flat, spout, sachet, retort, or high-barrier pouch formats.
TL;DR
- Stand up pouches support retail shelf presence and resealable use.
- Spout pouches support liquids, refills, sauces, and gels.
- Flat pouches and sachets support samples, portions, and compact shipping.
