Pre-made pouches are popular packaging option for various products, ranging from food and beverages to personal care and household items. Pre-made pouches are manufactured in advance and are ready to be filled with products, offering convenience, cost-effectiveness, and sustainability advantages. Here are some common types and features of pre-made pouches:
Types of Pre-made Pouches:
- Stand-up Pouches: These pouches have a bottom gusset that allows them to stand upright on the shelves, providing excellent visibility and shelf appeal. They are commonly used for snacks, nuts, coffee, pet food, and liquid products like sauces and beverages.
- Pillow/Flat Pouches: As the name suggests, these pouches lay flat without a gusset. They are suitable for packaging products like powders, granules, and single-use items.
- Side Gusset Pouches: These pouches have gussets on the sides, allowing them to expand and accommodate larger volumes. They are commonly used for packaging coffee, tea, and other dry or granulated products.
- Spouted Pouches: Equipped with a spout and cap, these pouches are ideal for liquids and semi-liquids like baby food, sauces, and beverages. The spout allows for easy pouring and resealing.
- Retort Pouches: Designed to withstand high-temperature processing methods like retort sterilization, these pouches are suitable for ready-to-eat meals and other heat-treated products.
- Zipper Pouches: Equipped with a resealable zipper closure, these pouches offer convenience for products like snacks, coffee, and pet food, allowing customers to reseal and keep the contents fresh.
