Spouted & Fitment Pouches
Pour, squeeze, reclose — the bottle replacement.
Spouted pouches add a rigid pour spout and cap to flexible packaging — clean dispensing for liquids, gels, and purees with a fraction of a bottle's plastic, weight, and freight cost.
Dissected: the anatomy.

Why brands are switching from bottles
A spouted pouch typically uses far less plastic than the rigid bottle it replaces, ships flat to your filler, and cubes out dramatically better in transit. Customers get a package that pours like a bottle and empties more completely. The trade-off is fill equipment compatibility — which is exactly what we help you work through before you commit.
