Watch the video below to learn more about the recommended screw cap stand-up packaging for this 4 litre water.

Introduce

This 4 litre standing spout pouch is highly appreciated in the consumer market for water, which is able to provide a strong and eye-catchting package for the products. The standing ability of the pouch makes it possible to include the product effectively at the point of sale.  This spout pouch is very practical for handling and can be produced with a high volume like 1000ml,  2000ml, 3000ml or even 4000ml or 5000ml.

Our company is a reliable manufacturer of these standing pouch with spout & closure system for kinds of water products. In this post, we are going to share our experience with you about this pouch.

Laminated Foil Structure

Usually, a mono layer film materials is not feasible to achieve the multiple functions required by this water package 4000ml. The amazing artwork print, robust package , good standing profile will have to need a reinforced 4-layer foil structure, which can be well sealed into a bottom gusseted standup bag. Here, the graphic below shows the common structure intended for this water doypack sachet.

• PET12, means clear polyester film 12 microns, is the most common used clear transparent in the flexible packaging industry, which is of premium property and adaptable for kinds of processings without deformation. In this foil structure, it works as the outside print substrate, and presents the artwork design to the consumers’ eyes.
• Al7, is short for aluminum foil metal sheet with thickness 7 microns, which is the most common used thickness in flexible packaging. It is of the best barrier performance among all the film materials, which can keep the orginal flavor and fragance for a prolonged time.
• PA15, which is short for biaxially orientated polyamide film, with the most used thickness 15 microns (equals to 0.6 gauge). Usually people call it nylon film. It is of excellent mechanical strength, anti-puncture resistance and high barrier performance against oxygen. When it is applied into the foil laminate, usually the final package is achieved with reinforced mechanical strength.
• LDPE film, which is short for low density polyethylene film, will have to be modified to meet the particular requirements for the inside contents. Here, it mainly works as the inner sealing layer.

Usuaully, people name the foil structure PET12/AL7/PA25/LDPE ,so it can be well understood in business activities. This laminated foil also extend its wide application to many other liquid products, such as motor oil products,  windshield washer fluids, household cleaning chemicals etc.

The final thickness for this standup doypack should be 230 microns, with tolerance +-5%. and the toughness of this foil will be enough to finalize good package profile for 4 litre of water products.

Ok, let’s get into deeper understanding on the performance of this water pouch.

Water Standup Pouch Package Achievement

1 Attractive standup effect

• Sealing Strength
• Anti-puncture Strength
• Burst Impact Strength
• Anti-pressure Property

The above tests are performed against each order, upon customer requirements, and you may check the exact values of this foil material in the Technical Date Sheet part of this post.

In our daily QC work, there is an more easy and reliable method to check if the bag strength is enough to meet the various conditions in the operations of filling, transport, loading and unloading, distribution. We perform drop test against each order, of course, the standard for this drop test should be decided against customer needs.

Here, we are going to fill 2000ml of laundry detergent liquids into this PET12/BOPA15/LDPE foil pouch, and perform drops for 3 times, and check if there is any breakage for the package.

More Sustainable Options

With increasing burden on the plastic pollution, more and more products are now seeking for packages which are more sustainable, like compostable packages, recyclable mono materials packages, plant-based materials packages. They all proves to be more eco-friendly than the traditional multilayer packages which are even very difficult to be recycled.

1) Home compostable film material packages

Thanks to the fast development of plant-based film materials, now we are able to present the multi-layer standup pouch and roll foils in full home compostable options.

The compostable substrate films are as below.

1. BOPLA Film
2. PLA+PBAT Film
3. Kraft Paper
4. Metallized Paper
5. Cellulose Paper
6. Metallized Cellulose Paper
7. PBS Film

Based on the compostable substrate film, we are developing kinds of multi-functional packages for various applications, as below

1. High barrier performance packages, for roasted coffee beans, nutritions, milk powder, snacks or biscuits.
2. Alkaline resistant packages for hand wash, laundry cleaning chemicals etc
3. Frozen packages, like fish, noodles, or soup products
4. Vacuum packages for vegetables, rice, red beans etc
5. Hot filling packages for juice
6. Microwave packages

Along with the extentions of compostable film materials, more and more products are now starting to get well packed in home compostable packages, with some well-applied foil structures as below.

Biodegradable Foil Laminate	WVTR (g/m2/24hr)	OTR (cc/m2/24hr)
BOPLA40/PLA+PBAT60	62.2	267
Cellulose30/PLA+PBAT60	131.5	5.6

2) Mono Materials Recyclable Pouch Packages

Mono meterials pouch packages are truly recyclabled, as they can be easily processed into plastic granules which can be used again for other applications. However, for the traditional multilayer laminates, take PET/LDPE for example, it is difficult to be processed, as PET and LDPE are quite different material, and can not be melted under the same conditions. That’s why momo materials pouch packages are becoming so widely popular in the packaging field, and highly reputed in the consumer market.

At present, mono materials pouch are basically divided into Polyethylene channel and Polypropylene channel, with polyethylene channel much more popular, as they can be converted into kinds of standup pouch packages with relative high performance.

Here we list the film materials that can be well intended for mono-materials recyclable pouch packages.

1. MDOPE Film
2. BOPE Film
3. APE Film
4. LDPE Film
5. LLDPE Film
6. CPE Film
7. ABOPP Film
8. CPP Film
9. VMCPP Film
10. VMBOPP Film

Various foil laminates can be achieved based on above film materials with different properties, which is intended to meet the particular requirements for specific product. Some foil laminates are well-known as below.

1. MDOPE/APE
2. MDOPE/LDPE
3. MDOPE/EVOH-LDPE
4. MDOPE/HDPE/APE
5. MDOPE/BOPE/APE
6. BOPE/APE

Upon our experience, mono materials pouch can be well intended for milk powder  products.
