The clear spout pouch with tethered cap is designed for liquid products that require convenient dispensing together with a cap that stays connected to the package after opening.
Unlike a conventional screw cap that becomes completely separated from the spout, the tethered cap remains attached through a flexible connecting section. Consumers can open the pouch, pour or drink the contents, and close it again without having to put the cap down.
This simple change provides both practical and packaging-compliance advantages.
Since July 2024, certain single-use plasticbeverage containers of up to three litres placed on the EU market are required to have plastic caps and lids that remain attached to the container during intended use.
For beverage brands, importers and packaging buyers targeting European markets, tethered-cap packaging has therefore become an increasingly important consideration.
Our tethered-cap spout pouch provides an attached closure solution for brands developing flexible beverage packaging for applications where these requirements may apply.
Final regulatory suitability should always be evaluated according to the product, pouch construction, capacity and intended market.
Loose caps are easy to drop, lose or discard separately.
With a tethered design, the cap stays physically connected to the spout while the package is being used. This makes the pouch easier to handle in situations where there is nowhere convenient to place the cap.
The user can simply:
The cap remains with the package throughout the process.
The transparent pouch allows customers to see the contents directly, making it especially suitable for visually attractive liquid products.
Depending on the product formulation and packaging requirements, clear spout pouches can be used for applications such as:
Compared with many rigid packaging formats, spout pouches offer a lightweight and space-efficient solution for storing, transporting and dispensing liquids.
The spout provides controlled pouring, while the attached cap adds an additional level of convenience for repeated opening and closing.
BN PACK works with brands and packaging buyers to develop spout pouch solutions according to their product and market requirements.
Pouch dimensions, capacity, film structure, spout configuration and printed packaging can be developed according to the intended application.
