Custom Spout Pouches for Liquids and Purees
A spout pouch replaces a bottle or jar with a lighter, flatter package. It uses less material, takes up less space in freight and on the shelf, and lets customers pour, squeeze or drink and then screw the cap back on. Brands use them for drinks, smoothies, baby food, sauces, soap and detergent refills.
We print custom spout pouches in full color with a choice of spout position, cap and film.
Spout and Cap Options
- Corner spout: easy pouring, ideal for refills, sauces and liquids.
- Center spout: best for squeezing and drinking, such as smoothies and purees.
- Child-resistant caps for products that require them.
- Spout sizes from small drinking spouts to wider pouring spouts for thick products.
Choosing the Right Film
Liquids are heavier and more demanding than dry goods, so spout pouches use stronger films and seals. Tell us whether your product is hot-filled, acidic, oily or needs to be pasteurized, because that decides which film we use. Retort and hot-fill films are available.
Sizes
Our standard spout pouches hold about 4, 8 and 16 fl oz, and custom sizes are available. A handle cut-out makes larger refill pouches easier to carry and pour.
Related Pouches
If your product is a powder or dry mix, a stand-up mylar bag or supplement pouch will usually cost less. For eco-friendly refill programs, ask about recyclable films.
Designing Spout Pouches
The spout sits in the top corner or center, so plan your artwork around it. Keep important text and logos away from the spout area, and use the full front panel below for your brand. Spout pouches stand on a base gusset like a stand-up pouch, so the base can carry a pattern or a simple message.
Cap colors can be chosen to match your brand or to tell flavors apart at a glance.
Filling and Capping
Spout pouches are usually filled through the spout on a filling machine, then capped. Some products are filled through the open top before sealing. Tell us how you plan to fill, so we can supply the right pouch format and spout size.
Questions Customers Ask
Can spout pouches be frozen?
Many films handle freezing well. Tell us if your product will be frozen so we choose the right film.
Do spout pouches leak?
Not when sealed and capped properly. We test seals and caps on each run.
Can I use a spout pouch for baby food?
Yes. Center spouts with child-safe caps are popular for purees.
