Why BN Pack Soup Pouch?

While stand-up pouches are a prominent and increasingly popular choice for soup packaging in today’s market, they are not the exclusive option. Their success stems from their versatility, catering to both standard and high-demand applications. A crucial factor for soup pouch packaging using stand-up pouches is ensuring 100% leak-proof seals. Furthermore, the materials employed must be suitable for freezing and capable of withstanding retort processing within specific temperature ranges.

Prior to filling, soup often undergoes a sterilization process like pasteurization, typically involving temperatures of 95, 105, 121, or even 135°C. At BN Pack, our materials are engineered to effectively meet and exceed these temperature requirements.

For enhanced user convenience, some soup pouches incorporate spouts, resulting in stand-up spout pouches that facilitate easy pouring.

Bn Pack Soup Pouch Customize Capabilities

BN Pack has all the ability to design and decorate your soup pouches beautifully in order to emphasize your pouch really well.

Choose The Right Materials For Your Soup Pouch

BN Pack uses high quality of materials in making your soup pouches to ensure that is safe and strong enough to hold the pressure.

A High-Performance Solution: For demanding applications like retortable soup pouches, a multi-layer laminate such as PET/NY+AL/PETAL/NY+LLDPE offers exceptional performance. This structure combines the strength and heat resistance of Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET) and Nylon (NY) with the superior barrier properties of Aluminum (AL) or Aluminum oxide coated PET (PETAL). The inner layer of Linear Low-Density Polyethylene (LLDPE) provides excellent heat sealing and flexibility. This combination delivers a robust barrier against oxygen, moisture, and light, while also withstanding the high temperatures and pressures of retort processing, ensuring your soup retains its flavor and nutritional value.

Best Printing Options on Your Soup Pouch

BN Pack uses a complete set of professional printing equipment for the printing process to be able to produce nice and eye-catching artwork and design.

D-Met printing involves depositing a thin layer of metal before ink application, creating a vibrant, reflective metallic finish. Its key advantage is the ability to achieve high-impact, premium aesthetics, significantly enhancing shelf appeal and brand perception. This method allows for intricate metallic details, making your soup pouch a standout product.

Metallization applies a thin metal layer, typically aluminum, to the packaging film, producing a sleek metallic surface. The primary advantage is its cost-effective provision of a premium, barrier-enhancing metallic look. It offers a broad metallic coverage, adding a sophisticated sheen while also improving protection against light and moisture, thus extending product shelf life.

Vanishing applies a clear varnish to select printed areas, creating a high-gloss contrast against matte or satin finishes. The advantage lies in its ability to produce dynamic, tactile visuals. It allows for targeted enhancement of design elements, adding depth and visual interest, making your soup pouch more engaging and memorable for the consumer.

Matte finishing eliminates glossy sheen, resulting in a smooth, velvety texture. The key advantage is its ability to convey a natural, premium, and sophisticated feel. It provides a subtle, elegant look that emphasizes product quality and natural ingredients, while also reducing glare and fingerprints for a cleaner, more refined appearance.

Customized Your Soup Pouch Features & Accessories

We have a wide variety of options available in customizing your pouches such as size, color, shape, and many more.

Incorporating a punch hole into your soup pouch design provides a convenient hanging option for retail displays. This simple addition allows for vertical presentation, maximizing shelf space and improving product visibility. The advantage is increased merchandising flexibility, enabling retailers to showcase your product in various locations and formats, ultimately boosting sales.

Adding a handle to your soup pouch enhances consumer convenience, particularly for larger or multi-serving sizes. Handles make carrying and pouring easier, improving the overall user experience. The advantage is increased portability and consumer satisfaction, which can translate to repeat purchases and positive brand perception. This is especially useful for products intended for on-the-go consumption or bulk purchasing.

Integrating a ziplock closure into your soup pouch allows for resealability, maintaining product freshness and preventing spills after initial opening.

Soup Pouch: Your Ultimate Guide

1) How much soup can go in a soup pouch?

The capacity of a soup pouch varies significantly based on its dimensions and design. Standard sizes range from single-serving pouches holding around 8-16 ounces (240-480 ml) to larger family-sized pouches that can contain 32 ounces (950 ml) or more. Manufacturers can customize pouch sizes to meet specific volume requirements. Factors like the soup’s density and the pouch’s gusset design also influence the actual fill capacity.

The flexibility of pouch design allows for a wide range of volumes, making them suitable for diverse consumer needs. Unlike rigid cans, pouches can expand to accommodate varying fill levels, reducing headspace and minimizing waste. This adaptability makes soup pouches a versatile packaging solution for different market segments.

2) Can you get a smaller soup pouch that is about the same size as a traditional soup can?

Yes, you can absolutely get smaller soup pouches that approximate the size of a traditional soup can. Manufacturers can tailor the dimensions to match or closely resemble the volume and footprint of standard cans, typically around 10-15 ounces (300-450 ml). This allows for a familiar portion size while offering the benefits of flexible packaging.

The ability to create pouches in various sizes means that brands can transition from cans to pouches without drastically altering consumer expectations regarding portion sizes. This is crucial for maintaining brand consistency and consumer acceptance, especially when introducing new packaging formats.

3) How would the spout on a soup pouch work?

A spout on a soup pouch is typically heat-sealed onto the pouch material, creating a secure and leak-proof opening. The spout often incorporates a screw cap or a snap-on lid for easy opening and resealing. When the cap is removed, the soup can be poured or squeezed out through the spout.

The spout design ensures controlled dispensing, preventing spills and allowing for precise portioning. This feature is particularly useful for on-the-go consumption or for individuals who prefer to consume soup in smaller portions. The spout also facilitates easy reheating in a microwave or on a stovetop.

4) Can you place a spout on the bottom part of the soup pouch?

Yes, a spout can be placed on the bottom part of a soup pouch. This configuration is often used for products where gravity-assisted dispensing is preferred, such as thicker soups or sauces. Bottom-mounted spouts allow for complete emptying of the pouch contents, minimizing product waste.

Placing the spout at the bottom can also enhance the pouch’s stability when standing, especially for larger volumes. This design is beneficial for consumers who prefer a mess-free and efficient dispensing experience.

5)Can you add a zipper to a soup pouch?

Yes, a zipper can be added to a soup pouch. Zippers provide a resealable closure, allowing consumers to consume a portion of the soup and then reseal the pouch for later use. This feature is particularly useful for larger pouches or for individuals who prefer to consume soup in multiple servings.

The addition of a zipper enhances the pouch’s functionality and convenience, making it a more versatile packaging option. Resealable zippers help maintain product freshness and prevent spills, which are crucial for consumer satisfaction.

6) Can you add solid items inside a soup pouch?

Yes, you can add solid items inside a soup pouch. Soup pouches are designed to handle a variety of ingredients, including solid pieces of vegetables, meat, and pasta. The pouch material and sealing technology are engineered to withstand the pressure and potential punctures from solid components.

The flexibility of pouch packaging allows for the inclusion of diverse ingredients, catering to a wide range of soup recipes. This versatility makes soup pouches suitable for both smooth and chunky soups, providing consumers with a variety of texture options.

7) What type of soup can go in a soup pouch?

Virtually any type of soup can go in a soup pouch. This includes broths, creamy soups, chunky soups, vegetable soups, meat-based soups, and even cold soups like gazpacho. The pouch material is designed to handle a wide range of temperatures and viscosities, making it suitable for diverse soup formulations.

The adaptability of soup pouches makes them a versatile packaging solution for various soup types, catering to diverse consumer preferences. This flexibility allows brands to offer a wide range of soup products in a convenient and consumer-friendly format.

8)An average soup pouch will stand up, so you won’t have to stick it on its side. How would this happen?

An average soup pouch stands up due to its gusseted design. A gusset is a fold or pleat in the pouch material that expands when the pouch is filled, creating a flat bottom. This flat bottom provides a stable base, allowing the pouch to stand upright on shelves or countertops.

The gusseted design is crucial for enhancing the pouch’s stability and visual appeal. This feature allows for efficient shelf display and easy storage, making soup pouches a convenient packaging option for both retailers and consumers.

9) Are you able to open and close a soup pouch without the contents on the inside becoming stale or worn?

Yes, with resealable features like zippers or spouts, soup pouches can be opened and closed without significantly compromising the contents’ freshness. The barrier properties of the pouch material, combined with resealable closures, help maintain the soup’s quality and prevent it from becoming stale or worn.

High-quality pouch materials and effective sealing technologies ensure that the soup remains fresh and flavorful even after multiple openings and closings. This feature is crucial for consumer satisfaction and product longevity.

10) How long can the soup on the inside of the soup pouch last?

The shelf life of soup inside a soup pouch depends on various factors, including the soup’s formulation, the pouch material, and the processing techniques used. Typically, properly sealed and processed soup pouches can last from several months to over a year at room temperature.

Advanced packaging technologies, such as retort processing and aseptic filling, can significantly extend the shelf life of soup pouches. These processes eliminate harmful microorganisms and ensure product safety and quality over an extended period.

Once a soup pouch is opened, it should be treated like any other perishable food item. Typically, opened soup pouches should be refrigerated and consumed within 3-5 days. The exact duration depends on the soup’s ingredients and storage conditions.

Proper refrigeration and handling are essential to maintain the soup’s quality and prevent spoilage. Consumers should follow the same food safety guidelines as they would for any other opened food product.

12) What would it cost for you to use a soup pouch when compared with a traditional can for packing purposes?

The cost of using soup pouches versus traditional cans varies depending on factors such as material costs, printing, filling equipment, and transportation. Generally, pouches can offer cost advantages due to lower material usage and reduced transportation expenses. However, initial setup costs for pouch filling equipment may be higher.

Pouches often require less energy for production and transportation compared to cans, contributing to lower overall costs and a smaller environmental footprint. The cost-effectiveness of pouches can be a significant advantage for manufacturers seeking to optimize their packaging expenses.

13) Can a company charge the same amount of money to get a soup pouch versus a traditional can?

Yes, a company can charge the same amount or even a premium for soup in a pouch compared to a traditional can. The perceived value and convenience of pouches can justify a similar or higher price point. Factors such as portability, ease of use, and reduced waste contribute to the perceived value of pouches.

Consumers are often willing to pay a premium for packaging that offers convenience and sustainability benefits. This allows companies to maintain or even increase their profit margins while offering a more consumer-friendly packaging option.

14) Can you freeze or chill the soup pouch?

Yes, you can freeze or chill soup pouches. High-quality pouch materials are designed to withstand freezing and chilling temperatures without compromising the pouch’s integrity. Freezing and chilling can extend the shelf life of the soup and maintain its quality.

It’s important to ensure that the pouch material is suitable for freezing temperatures to prevent cracking or brittleness. Manufacturers often use materials that are specifically designed for frozen food applications.

Soup pouches are typically sealed using heat-sealing technology. This process involves applying heat and pressure to the pouch material, creating a strong and airtight seal. Heat sealing ensures that the pouch is leak-proof and prevents contamination.

The sealing process is critical for maintaining the soup’s freshness and preventing spoilage. Manufacturers use advanced sealing equipment to ensure consistent and reliable seals.

16) How would a soup pouch be sealed?

Soup pouches are primarily sealed using heat-sealing technology. This process involves applying controlled heat and pressure to the inner layers of the pouch material, causing them to melt and fuse together. The heat-sealing equipment precisely regulates temperature and pressure to ensure a strong, airtight seal. This technique creates a hermetic barrier, preventing leaks, contamination, and maintaining product freshness.

The type of heat sealing used can vary based on the pouch material and the specific requirements of the product. Common methods include impulse sealing, hot bar sealing, and ultrasonic sealing. These methods ensure a consistent and reliable seal, critical for maintaining the integrity of the soup and extending its shelf life.

17) Is kraft paper useful for a soup pouch?

Kraft paper, while offering a natural and eco-friendly aesthetic, is generally not suitable as the sole material for a soup pouch. Kraft paper is porous and lacks the necessary barrier properties to prevent moisture, oxygen, and grease from permeating the pouch. To be used in a soup pouch, kraft paper must be laminated with other materials.

To create a functional soup pouch, kraft paper is often combined with a thin layer of plastic or aluminum foil. This lamination provides the required barrier properties while retaining the kraft paper’s natural appearance. This combination is often used for dry soup mixes or soups where the liquid is added later.

18) What type of plastic material is best for your soup pouch?

The best plastic materials for a soup pouch are those that offer excellent barrier properties, heat resistance, and flexibility. Common choices include polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), and polyethylene terephthalate (PET).

For retort pouches, which require high-temperature processing, materials like oriented polyamide (OPA) and aluminum foil are often incorporated into the laminate structure. These materials provide the necessary thermal stability and barrier properties to withstand the sterilization process. The specific combination of materials is chosen based on the soup’s composition, processing requirements, and shelf-life expectations.

19) Should you secure a soup pouch in a dark space, or is it fine to let the soup pouch stay in an open or bright area?

While some soup pouches are designed to withstand exposure to light, it’s generally preferable to store them in a dark or dimly lit space. Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or bright light can degrade certain pouch materials and potentially affect the soup’s quality, particularly if the pouch contains light-sensitive ingredients.

For soups containing fats or oils, light exposure can accelerate oxidation, leading to off-flavors and reduced shelf life. Storing pouches in a dark, cool environment helps maintain the soup’s freshness and quality over an extended period.

20) Can you place the soup pouch in a microwave?

Yes, many soup pouches are designed to be microwavable. However, it’s crucial to use pouches specifically labeled as microwave-safe. These pouches are made with materials that can withstand microwave temperatures without melting or leaching harmful substances into the soup.

Microwavable pouches often feature special venting mechanisms or tear notches to allow steam to escape during heating, preventing the pouch from bursting. Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions for microwaving soup pouches to ensure safety and optimal results.

21) Will the contents that make up the soup pouch potentially influence the soup contents?

Yes, the materials used in a soup pouch can potentially influence the soup’s contents if they are not properly selected and processed. Low-quality materials or improper processing can lead to leaching of chemicals or off-flavors into the soup. This is why food-grade materials and stringent manufacturing standards are essential.

High-quality pouches are designed to be inert, meaning they do not react with or release substances into the soup. Manufacturers conduct extensive testing to ensure that their pouches meet food safety regulations and maintain the soup’s quality and flavor.

22) What should be done when preserving the soup inside your soup pouch?

Preserving soup in a pouch typically involves a combination of heat processing and barrier packaging. The soup is first cooked and then filled into the pouch under sterile conditions. The pouch is then heat-sealed and subjected to retort processing, which involves heating the pouch to a high temperature to kill any remaining microorganisms.

Retort processing ensures that the soup is shelf-stable and safe for consumption without refrigeration. The barrier properties of the pouch material prevent oxygen and moisture from entering, maintaining the soup’s quality and extending its shelf life.
