Spout pouches combine a stand-up Doy-style pouch body with a fitted spout and resealable cap. They are available as ready-made stock pouches and as bespoke printed packaging. Stock spout pouches provide a practical, fast route for liquid, gel and paste products; they can also be branded with labels, header cards, bag toppers or belly bands where suitable for the product and final pack design. For bespoke projects, spout position, cap type, diameter, pouch size and material structure can be specified around the product, filling method and technical requirements. Depending on the selected pouch structure, spout and cap specification, spout pouches can be developed for dry, moist, aqueous, acidic and fatty foodstuffs, as well as suitable non-food liquids, gels and creams.

| Consideration | Custom printed Spout Pouch | Ready-made Spout Pouch with added branding |
|---|---|---|
| Branding | Integrated artwork planned around the spout, seals, gusset and any handle. | Labels or suitable bag toppers where they fit without obstructing dispensing or closure. |
| Product information | Instructions, ingredients, warnings and product identification incorporated into the printed layout. | Applied components carry the information and can be updated between products or formulations. |
| Size | Develop dimensions and intended fill volume around the product. | Select an available stock capacity and confirm usable fill volume with testing. |
| Spout and cap | Specify available position, diameter and fitment options around filling and dispensing. | Use the spout and cap fitted to the chosen stock pouch. |
| Material compatibility | Develop an appropriate structure around the formulation and process. | Confirm that the stock material, seals, spout and cap suit the actual formulation. |
| Packing workflow | Arrives branded, reducing separate main-label application. | Branding is applied separately using components suitable for the filled pack and handling conditions. |
| Best suited to | Defined liquid, gel, sauce and refill ranges requiring a tailored pack. | Trials, samples, smaller runs and launches using available stock formats. |

Bespoke printed pouches are made to order where you need your own artwork, a specific size, material structure, spout position, spout diameter or fitment.
They can be filled by hand or with suitable filling equipment, depending on the pouch format, spout arrangement, product and production volume. Your filling process should be tested with the actual pouch, spout and cap before commercial production.
Yes. Ready-made spout pouches can be branded by applying labels. This can be a useful option for smaller runs, market testing, seasonal ranges, product variants or information that may change regularly.
Ready-made spout pouches are not overprinted or printed onto after manufacture. If you want to brand ready-made stock, suitable pouches can be personalised using labels.
For bespoke printed packaging, the spout pouch is made to order. Your approved artwork is printed onto the selected packaging film before the film is converted into the finished pouch. This allows the pouch size, material structure, finish and available features to be developed around your product and brand.

Spout pouches are suitable for food-contact packaging, subject to the chosen material and intended use. Please confirm compatibility with your product, filling process, storage conditions and required shelf life before use.
Yes. Selected bespoke Spout Pouches can use a centre-positioned or corner-positioned spout.
A centre spout is commonly chosen for products that are squeezed or dispensed, such as sauces, purées, gels, creams and selected refills. A corner spout is commonly chosen for products that are poured, such as syrups, concentrates and other free-flowing products. The most suitable position depends on product flow, dispensing method and customer use.
Selected bespoke spout and cap options may be available, including different spout diameters, cap types, colours and fitments. These need to suit the product’s viscosity, intended dispensing behaviour, filling equipment and capping process.
Confirm the final product, filling setup and required user experience before choosing a fitment.
