Plastic jars, heavy duty boxes, and other expensive packaging methods have long ruled the liquid packaging landscape in the United States. But outside North America, it is spouted pouches that are the norm – and now the trend is catching up among companies in the United States.
There are a number of reasons for the increasing use of spouted pouches in liquid packaging. First, these packages are cheaper to produce than plastic jars and other heavy duty boxes and bottles. This saves money for companies.
Second, these packages are easier to transport. A truck can carry several times more spouted pouches than bulky jars and bottles.
Third, these packages are more environment friendly. Several spouted pouches can fit in the space which a single jar of plastic will occupy in a landfill.
Fourth, stand up pouches provide all these advantages to manufacturers and sellers without compromising on the end user experience. A number of accessories such as zip locks ant spouts etc. can be added to these bags to enhance their functionality.
