How They Stack Up

  • Weight & portability: pouches are lightest for on-the-go.
  • Space efficiency: pouches ship/stow flat; bottles/cartons occupy volume.
  • Consumer experience: resealable spouts reduce mess vs cartons.
  • Sustainability: material reduction is significant vs rigid bottles.

For a full market context, see the pillar page, and cost nuances in the cost guide.

Cost & Logistics

Bottles may look inexpensive at unit level but drive freight and storage costs. Cartons can be compact but lack resealability. Spouted pouches strike the best balance for many SKUs.

Quality & Use Cases

Correct film structures and spouts handle everything from baby food to detergents. QC and seal testing are key to durability. See outcomes in case studies.
