Pouch Packaging for Edible Oil

Pouches are growing in popularity around the world as a preferred retail packaging format. It is a highly convenient, light-weight and portable package that enables companies to offer their product in a range of customer-friendly sizes - from as small as 50 ml samples to larger 1L and 2L packs. Pouch packaging offers more advantages:

Protection: Flexible pouches preserve the freshness and taste, protecting the contents from contamination.

Portability: being compact and light-weight, they can be carried and transported easily, and require less secondary packaging than rigid packs. They also optimise shelf space.

Retail value: Pouches can be customised for individual brands in specific sizes for different markets. They can be branded for visibility and differentiation on retail shelves.

Reach: The quality, safety and easy transportability of pouches enable great ‘last mile’ reach, helping marketers to reach wider rural and regional markets.

Economy: Flexible pouches are more cost-effective compared to alternative packaging materials such as PET bottles, tins, Tetrapak and glass.

Sustainability: Pouch materials release minimal emissions in production and are partially recyclable.
