A spout that pours a liquid with excellent precision is often chosen for each liquid bag.

There are spouts/fitments ideal for liquids, powders and particulates.

· Product Viscosity

You have to chose the right spout that is optimal for your product’s viscosity.

The chosen spout has to provide mess-free dispensing.

In essence, it must improve the consumer experience.

This spout should prevent leaks, control the stream and volume of liquid as it is dispensed from a bag.

· Configurations

There are some bags that require spouts with a long stem.

Similarly, there are other bags that require spouts with small diameters, or round shapes.

Liquid products with thinner viscosity require spouts with smaller diameters.

Products with a thicker viscosity require spouts with a larger diameter.

You can choose the size of your spout depending on the volume of product you intend to dispense.

It may also depend on features of the desired liquid stream.

Furthermore, the amount of force a consumer will apply on a bag when dispensing the liquid product is also an important aspect.

How does Plastic Bottles and Liquid Spout Bag compare?

You can evaluate the two based on the following:

While liquid spout bags are flexible, plastic bottles are rigid containers.

Liquid spout bags have excellent visibility on the retail shelves, and shelf impact which is limited in plastic bottles.

Liquid spout bags are high-performance packaging solution as compared to plastic bottles.

· Weight

Liquid spout bags are light weight, and this is due to material reduction.

A single liquid spout bag is around 4.3 ml thick. Plastic bottles, on the other hand, are heavy.

· Customizable

While the liquid spout bags are customizable, plastic bottles are not easily customizable.

Liquid spout bags provide a large printable surface area for presenting vivid and attention-grabbing images and texts.

· Efficient Warehousing

Liquid spout bags allow for efficient warehousing as unfilled bags take up significantly less space than plastic bottles.

Plastic bottles are larger in size taking a lot space during storage in the warehouse.

· Evacuation

While Liquid spout bags can evacuate up to 99.5% of the products, plastic bottles can leave behind 6-14% of the product in the package.

As such, liquid spout bags allow for close total evacuation of the product.

· Eco-friendly

Liquid spout bags take 60% less material to produce as compared to plastic bottles.

On the other hand, plastic bottles contribute a large amount of waste into landfills which may end up in ocean coast or oceans.

Are Liquid Spout Bag Safe for Human Food?

Liquid Spout bags are food grade.

They are made using materials which are safe for packaging human food.

The inks used to print on the bags are equally safe when they come into contact with food, there is no contamination.

Besides, the bags are hygienic making them safe for human food.

What is the Best Printing Technique for Liquid Spout Bag?

Printed liquid spout bag

Rotogravure is the best printing technique for liquid spout bags.

This printing technique helps in achieving high color density as well as maximum print quality. It involves the use of copper-plated cylinders.

The printing process involves using a high-precision laser to engrave the images, texts or artwork onto the cylinders.

Several cylinders are required for every color to be included on the surface of the bag.

The cylinder is emerged into ink and then transferred onto a printable surface.

CMYK and spot colors are used for the rotogravure printing process.

Spot colors are made using Pantone ink.

With rotogravure, you can print up to 10 colors.

Also, you can print more than 10,000 pieces in a single time.

Even though this number is high, the print quality is still high.

It is also suitable for long runs at low cost per piece.

If you intend to use to print large pieces of bags for a long period, then rotogravure is the best printing technique.

How do you Test the Quality of Liquid Spout Bags?

To test the quality of liquid spout bags, you take the bags through different tests at every stage of their manufacture.

• Drop test; this test simulates freefall of bags on its edges, corners, and surfaces.

To carry out this test, a bag is filled with the liquid products and dropped from a specific height.

Through this test, it is possible to simulate realistic conditions that take place during shipment.

• Burst test; this involves blowing controlled air into a bag for a specific length of time until it cannot stand the pressure.

The test helps identify the areas susceptible to failure and are corrected.

• Pour test; this is to test for controlled and clean pour.
• Interlayer adhesion testing; this test is done to determine if the adhesive used to bond the bag layers is appropriate or efficient.
• Seal strength; it involves pulling the seal apart while measuring resistance during the separation of the seals.

The whole process is done under set temperatures.

• Compatibility test; this test is done to determine the best laminations which are most resistant to physical or chemical damage. It can be caused by the interaction with the liquid product.
• Compression test; this test involves exposing the bag to various air pressures for set periods of time.

As such, the test exposes the possible leakage areas of the bag or failure areas in general.

• Puncture resistance strength; relying on ASTM testing standards, this test involves an analysis of how much is needed to puncture the bag.
• Tensile strength; this is sealing the bag’s film to itself and then testing the quantity of force needed to break the seal.
• Water bath test is done to determine any weak seals or leaks.

These test help in ensuring that the bags will perform all through the life cycle of liquids as well as prevent bag failures.

The goal is to ensure that the bag will perform optimally.

What are the materials used to make a Liquid Spout bag?

Polyethylene; this material has excellent chemical resistance.

PE is equally clear and transparent.

However, it can degrade from UV rays.

This is why the material is combined with other materials to form a strong barrier film that prevents the effects of UV rays on the products.

Linear Low-DensityPolyethylene; this material has high-tensile strength, can be easily formed into different shapes and highly tough.

It is suitable for making the heat sealant layer of the Liquid spout bag.

Cast Polypropylene; this material has excellent moisture proof, heat sealability and compatibility with various products properties.

It is especially used for making the inner-contact layer of the Liquid spout bag.

What are the Factors to Consider when Designing Liquid Spout Bag?

Well, every client wants a final Liquid spout bag that meets their needs and that of their clients.

To achieve this goal, below are the factors to consider when designing this bag:

· Material

Materials have unique properties which are responsible for the functionality of a bag.

For instance, LLDPE have high-tensile properties, PE has great chemical resistance and CPP provide stability properties.

Depending on the product you intend to package in your bag, you have to use a material that can offer protective properties to the Liquid spout bag.

· Thickness

A Liquid spout bag should not be very thick. It can have a thickness of around 4.5 ml.

The goal is to reduce the amount of material that is used to make the bag, thus making them more flexible.

How thick a bag is, is therefore a key factor to consider during design.

· Appropriate Sizing

The size of your bag should be in appropriate ratio to the volume of product you intend to package in the bag.

Also, the higher the volume of the product, the larger the size of the bag and vice-versa.

· Additional Features

During design, you can include additional features such as spouts or valves, or zippers if they are key to improving the functionality of a bag.

Similarly, you can include a hang hole if you intend to improve the display options of your products.

· A consumers’ Product’s Unique Specifications

A consumer may have unique specifications such as Liquid product compatibility in regards to the inner laminate layer and product.

Then the designer has to introduce these ideas to the design of the bag.

What are the Three Layers of a Liquid Spout bag?

Liquid spout bags consists of several layers of laminated materials, with each layer performing a key role in the performance of the Liquid spout bag.

Every layer provides particular performance characteristics such as:

• Chemical resistance
• Puncture resistance
• Light, moisture and oxygen resistance
• Tear resistance
• Rigidity
• Print receptivity
• Heat sealablity

i. The Surface (Print) Layer

This is the outside layer of the Liquid spout bag which is printed on.

This surface layer is made using PET, BOPP, and NY materials.

It plays a role in the tear resistance and burst strength.

Further, it protects the barrier layer and the ink.

The print layer also adds to the overall strength of the bag.

ii. The Barrier Layer

The middle layer of the Liquid spout bag is made using a high barrier film.

This film helps protect the liquid products from the effects of UV light, oxygen, moisture and chemicals.

This layer is made using PET, AL and NY materials.

It provides chemical resistance and leakage proof capabilities.

iii.  Heat Sealant Layer (Food-contact Layer)

This inner layer of the bag is the one that comes into contact with liquid products.

Also, this layer is made using food grade materials such as LLDPE and CPP.

While this layer protects the barrier layer, it seals the liquid within. In addition, it provides burst strength.

How do you Manufacture Liquid Spout Bags?

Well, the manufacture process of liquid spout bags is not complex.

The first step is creating the gusset bottom and design of the Liquid spout bag.

Also, the bag is passed through plows that give it its final shape.

You then bond the vertical seals of the bag that are made along the bag’s sides.

The bottom folds of the bag are sealed, in the same way that the seals hold the bottom gussets together at the ends.

Then, the bag is cut apart vertically via the center of the side seals.

This creates the container feature of the bag.

A spout is then fitted to the inner layer near the top edge.

The other top edges of the bag are sealed using heat and pressure.

Finally, the spout is then closed and sealed.

Now it’s your turn.
