Let’s Talk Shelf Life of Flexible Packaging Laminations

How long is your product going to be in the package? What’s the required shelf life? How important is freshness? These are all important things to ask when thinking about flexible packaging.

Consider two examples: Corn Chips vs. Dried Berries. Corn chips are usually packaged in economical medium to low barrier materials because they are generally consumed quickly. Nobody expects chips to have an extensive shelf life and chips are a low margin retail item that must be economically packaged.

In comparison, dried berries are a more expensive product which require a longer shelf life. They are highly stable and are usually not consumed at one time.

Common Liquid Spout Pouch Types

Top of Pouch Spout

Often used for smaller pouches or die-cut pouches for single serve applications.

Top Side of Pouch Spout

For the 8oz – 16 oz size of pouches, this is a great location because it takes advantage of the upright orientation of the pouch (stand up pouches), and allows the user to have better control when using the contents.

Flexible packaging with a spout is useful for many different applications, from soup, broths and juice to shampoo and conditioner. They are also ideal for a beverage pouch!

A liquid spout bag or liquor pouch takes up much less room than awkward metal cans, and they’re lighter so they cost less to ship. Because the packaging material is flexible, you can also pack more of them into the same size shipping box. We offer companies a wide range of solutions for every type of packaging need.
