Custom Printed Spout Pouch for Juice (5 L)Handled Spout Pouches
Handled spout pouches are five litre spouted packs with a carry handle die-cut through a reinforced top seal, because a pouch that size cannot be lifted by its body. We build them in PET/PE with tap and cap fitments for liquid refills, foodservice syrups, sauces and bulk drinks. A rigid container of the same volume costs several times as much to ship empty and takes the same space back on the return leg, which is most of the case for the format.

How a handled spout pouch is built
The Size Where a Pouch Needs Somewhere to Be Held
Past about a litre and a half, a spouted pouch stops being something you pick up by the body. A handled spout pouch answers that with a die-cut handle in the top seal, a heavier laminate to carry the weight, and a fitment large enough to pour or to take a tap. At five litres the filled pack weighs five kilograms, and every part of the construction is there to deal with that.
Three Things Change, Not One
- The handle. Die-cut through a reinforced top seal, with enough material around it that it does not tear under a full load. It is a seal detail, not a hole punched afterwards.
- The film. Heavier than a retail spout pouch, because the seal is carrying kilograms rather than grams and the pack will be set down hard.
- The fitment. Larger, and often tap-compatible so the pack can be dispensed from rather than poured.
What It Replaces
A five litre rigid container ships as five litres of air before it is filled. The same volume as a flat pouch ships as a stack of film. For emergency and relief supply, event water, camping and cooler refills, that difference decides the freight bill and the pallet count.
Where It Stops
Below about 1.5 L a handle is dead weight and a standard spout pouch is the right pack. Above about 10 L the seal and the handle stop being the sensible way to carry it, and a bag-in-box with a rigid outer takes over. Between those two the construction on this page is what we make.
Where the fill is drinking water specifically, the water bag range shows what we already run in this shape.

Frequently asked
Specifying Handled Spout Pouches: The Questions That Decide It
At what size does a handle become necessary?
Around 1.5 litres. Below that the filled pack is light enough to hold by the body, and a handle is film and seal land spent on nothing.
How is the handle made?
Die-cut through a reinforced top seal, so the load is carried by sealed material rather than by a hole punched in film. It is designed in with the dieline, not added afterwards.
Will the handle tear under a full 5 L pack?
Not if the seal land around it is specified for the filled weight, which is what we set it from. We drop-test filled packs rather than judging it on the bench.
Can it take a tap instead of a cap?
Yes. A tap-compatible fitment turns the pack into a dispenser for a cooler, a counter or a camp table, which is most of why this size is bought.
What volumes do you run?
1.5, 2, 2.5, 5 and 10 litres are the sizes we make most. Anything between is made to your drawing.
How much freight does it actually save?
A rigid five litre container ships as five litres of air. The same volume in flat pouches ships as a stack of film, so the saving is in pallet count before filling rather than in the pack itself.
Is it strong enough for relief and emergency supply?
That is one of the main uses. Film gauge and seal width come from the filled weight and the drop height it has to survive, not from the volume printed on the label.
Can it be printed, or only supplied plain?
Either. Agencies and relief buyers often take them neutral and print later; brands take them gravure printed like any other pouch.
Does it stand when it is full?
Yes, on a base gusset like any stand up pouch. At ten litres it is happier resting against something, which is worth knowing before you design a shelf display around it.
What about sunlight and storage?
Where the pack sits in daylight, a foil structure keeps the contents from warming and from growing anything. For water stored outdoors that is worth the difference in cost.
