Pouch Packaging

Pouch packaging is a flexible packaging material that is made from lightweight materials like foil, film, cap fitments and more that holds liquid products. Designed with the flexible needs of customers in mind, packing pouches are used in several applications including tea bag packaging and general sachet packaging.

Pouches can be stored in ambient temperatures, helping products maintain their freshness over long periods. Additionally, they are compact, lightweight and have minimal waste product due to their material that breaks down as it is used.

What Material is Used for Pouch Packaging?

There are a wide variety of materials used in making pouch packages. It can be made of one or several layers of aluminium foil, vapour-deposited film, plastic film or other materials depending on the product it is designed to house and its shelf life requirements.

For example, paper pouches are cheaper but have lower shelf life than foil pouches and cannot hold some kinds of liquid products. Foil pouches on the other hand do not offer the same level of product protection that bubble wrap pouches do.

Poly packaging bags

Poly packaging bags are clear transparent plastic bags made for packaging and shipping various types of products, mostly in liquid form. The bag is made out of polyethylene, one of the most common plastic formulations available today, hence the name. Poly packaging bags can be made from a thin film of polyethylene or thicker films depending on their intended use.

Paper Pouch
