Spout Pouches

Custom spout pouches carry a moulded fitment and cap welded into the top seal, so a liquid is poured or drunk without decanting. We run them from 50 ml single serves up to a litre in PET/PE and certified compostable laminates, with child-resistant and tamper-evident caps available. The spout diameter is chosen against the viscosity of the fill rather than the pack size, because a thick sauce and a thin juice will not pour through the same neck at the same rate.

How a spout pouch is built

A Stand Up Pouch with a Fitment Welded into the Seal

A spout pouch is a stand up pouch with a moulded fitment welded into the top or corner seal during forming. That weld is the whole engineering problem: it has to be liquid-tight for the life of the pack, survive filling, and match a cap the customer can open. Most of the quoting time on a spouted pouch goes on the fitment, not the bag.

Choosing the Fitment

Diameter follows viscosity
FitmentSuits
8.6 mmThin drinks, juice, water
10 mmPurees, yoghurt drinks, baby food
Wide mouthSauces, anything that will not pour through a neck

Position Changes the Dieline

Top-centre to pour into a glass; top-corner to squeeze into something else; side for a pack meant to lie down. It is settled before tooling rather than after, because it moves the seal geometry rather than just the artwork.

Three Things to Specify Early

  1. Retort or hot fill. Both the laminate and the fitment have to be rated for it. A standard spout distorts in a retort and no film specification saves it.
  2. Child-resistant caps. A different cap and a different price, not a coating on the standard one.
  3. Your filling line. Send the machine make and the fitment you buy today and we match it, so the filling head does not change.

Where the fill is drinking water rather than food, the water bag range covers the larger sizes with handles and tap-compatible caps.

Frequently asked

Specifying Spout Pouches: The Questions That Decide It

How do I choose the spout diameter?

From the viscosity and how it will be consumed. 8.6 mm suits thin drinks, 10 mm handles purees, and wider fitments exist for products that will not pour through a narrow neck.

Where should the spout sit?

Top-centre for pouring, top-corner for squeezing into something else, side for a pack meant to lie down. The position changes the dieline, so it is settled before tooling.

Will the fitment match my filling line?

Send the machine make and the fitment you buy today. We match it so you do not have to change the filling head or requalify the line.

Is a child-resistant cap available?

Yes, and it is worth specifying anywhere the fill is not intended for children. It is a different cap at a different price, not a coating on the standard one.

Can a spout pouch be retorted?

With a retort-capable laminate and a matched fitment, yes. Both parts have to be rated for it; a standard spout distorts and the laminate delaminates.

How is the fitment attached?

Welded into the seal during forming, not glued in afterwards. That weld is inspected on the first-off and pressure-checked as part of pre-shipment QC.

Do you supply tethered caps for the EU?

Yes. Tell us at the quote stage rather than after the cylinders are engraved, because it changes the cap tooling rather than the artwork.

Can a spout pouch stand as well as pour?

Yes — the body is a stand up pouch with a base gusset. Very thin fills below about 100 ml are the exception, where there is not enough mass to open the base.

What volumes do you run?

From 100 ml single servings up to 5 L bag-in-box alternatives, with handles and tap-compatible caps on the larger sizes.

Can the pouch be frozen?

With a freezer-grade sealant, yes. Both the laminate and the fitment have to be specified for cold, or the spout becomes brittle and cracks at the weld.
