Spouted Pouch Manufacturers & Suppliers

A spouted pouch combines the flexible stand-up pouch format with a rigid plastic spout and cap — enabling controlled dispensing of liquid or semi-liquid contents. The spout is thermally welded into the base gusset or side seam of the pouch during manufacturing. Spout formats include screw-cap spouts (the most common, available in 28mm, 33mm, and 38mm thread sizes), push-pull sports caps (used for single-serve beverages and functional drinks), disc-top or flip-cap spouts (for sauces and condiments), and tamper-evident band options for retail products. Spouted pouches are well-established for cooking oil (200ml–5L), baby food and purees, fruit juices, liquid soups, sauces, detergents, and personal care products. Capacity range is typically 100ml–5 litres for standard retail formats, with larger-format spouted pouches (5–20L) available for food service applications. The inner seal layer of the pouch laminate must be compatible with the product — PE for aqueous and oil-based products, aluminium foil laminates for oxygen-sensitive applications. For EU food applications the full laminate structure must comply with EU Regulation 10/2011 and the supplier must issue a Declaration of Compliance.

Spouted pouches are a growing packaging format for retail cooking oil — offering lighter weight and lower material cost versus rigid PET or HDPE bottles at the 1L–5L size range, combined with convenient controlled dispensing. The recommended laminate structure for cooking-oil spouted pouches is PET/AL foil/PE or BOPP/AL foil/PE — the aluminium foil layer providing the oxygen barrier needed to protect edible oil from oxidative rancidity during shelf life. The spout cap must be food-grade PP or PE and should carry a DoC confirming food contact compliance. For filling on automatic lines, confirm the spout outside diameter and flange dimensions are compatible with the filling equipment's spout-fit tooling. For semi-manual or manual filling operations, wider-aperture spouts (33mm or 38mm) are preferable.
