Why Pouches Deliver a Financial Edge

Compared to bottles or cans, flexible liquid pouches use less material, store flatter, and ship lighter. Those efficiencies compound across millions of units—turning packaging into a competitive advantage. Explore the macro picture in the pillar guide.

Where the Savings Come From

Material: Up to 70% less plastic than rigid packaging.
Freight: Flat, lightweight cases reduce loads and fuel.
Storage: Higher pallet density cuts warehouse costs.
Energy: Lower forming/molding heat and cycle times.
Secondary Packaging: Less corrugate and void fill.

Total Landed Cost Beats Unit Price

Rigid containers can look cheaper on a per-unit basis, but once you add freight, storage, damages, and returns, pouches often provide the lowest total cost. See a full methodology in the pillar.

Illustrative Case: From Bottles to Pouches

Packaging costs cut by 35%
Shipping weight reduced by 60%
Pallet density increased by 40%
CO₂ in logistics down 25%
