Spout pouches are a lightweight and sustainable alternative to rigid plastic or glass containers. Made from recyclable mono-material films, they use up to 90% less plastic than bottles while offering full-surface custom printing and excellent product protection.
The flexible structure of spouted pouch combines durability, portability, and functionality, available with various spout diameters, cap styles, and optional carry handles for larger volumes.
At Aropack, we supply custom spout pouches designed for liquid and semi-liquid applications such as juices, sauces, purées, detergents, and household refills. Each pouch is available in a wide range of sizes and shapes to suit different filling systems and product types. We offer both digital and gravure printing, providing sharp colour definition and full surface branding for stronger shelf visibility.
Compared to rigid packaging, spout pouches are lighter, more space-efficient, and environmentally responsible. They reduce logistics costs and emissions by allowing more units per shipment and requiring up to 70% less material.
Despite their flexible form, laminated barrier films provide comparable protection to bottles and tubs, ensuring product packed stays fresh while presenting a cleaner, more modern design.
Our spout pouches are built for performance across diverse environments, from hot-fill to frozen applications. Each structure is tested for seal integrity, puncture resistance, and migration safety under UK and EU standards.
Available in sizes ranging from 100ml to 5L.
Matt, gloss, paper touch, de-metalized, unprinted and spot finish.
Available with oxygen, moisture, light and puncture barriers.
8.6 mm, 10 mm, 16 mm, 30 mm
Recyclable mono materials or multi-layer laminates.
Digital, flexo and gravure print up to 9 colours.
We understand how much impact packaging can have when it comes to reducing waste, which is why we focus on helping brands make the shift to genuinely circular, low-impact solutions. Our recyclable spout pouches are made from mono-material structures, PE or PP, allowing them to be recycled through standard UK systems like kerbside or soft-plastic return schemes. Unlike traditional multi-layer laminates, which mix different polymers, these single-material films can be processed without separation, making recycling both simpler and more effective.
Because you want a packaging partner, not just another printer. We combine solid manufacturing know-how with a genuine focus on sustainability. Every spouted pouch is tested for seal strength, migration safety and cold-chain performance before it leaves our floor. From choosing films to final artwork, we’re here to help you build packaging that works well and stands for something better.
Here are some of the most common questions we hear about custom printed spout pouches.
Spout pouches work well for products that pour or squeeze rather than scoop. Examples include juices and smoothies, baby food, sauces and purées, oils, sports gels, liquid soaps, detergents and household refills. If the product needs controlled dispensing, a spout pouch is usually a good fit.
Shelf life depends on your recipe and process, but the laminated barrier films we use can give protection against oxygen, light and moisture comparable to many rigid bottles. Once we know your product, filling method and target shelf life, we can recommend a laminate structure that supports it.
We offer a range of spout diameters, typically from around 8.6 mm up to 30 mm, with different cap styles for each size. Screw caps, flip tops and child resistant closures are all possible. The choice mainly depends on viscosity, how quickly you want the product to flow and who will be using it.
Yes. Our spout pouches are designed with a bottom gusset or shaped base so they stand upright once filled. This helps with shelf presentation, online photography and day to day use in the kitchen or bathroom.
Yes. We supply spout pouches that run on semi automatic and fully automatic filling equipment. Spouts are pre applied and welded to the pouch, and we match the specification to your filling method, speeds and product so you get clean, repeatable performance rather than constant adjustment.
Most projects use a top corner spout, but we can also place it top centre or in other agreed positions. The best location depends on viscosity, pack size, how the pouch is held when pouring and the type of filling equipment you use.
They can be. For hot fill, pasteurised or sterilised products we use heat resistant laminates and test them against your time and temperature profile. Once we understand your process, we can confirm whether a spout pouch is appropriate and which structure is safest.
Yes. We set the artwork dielines so key branding and information are not hidden by the spout or sealing area. If needed, we can run a printed mock up so you can see exactly how the design sits around the cap before going into full production.
