3. Flexible pouches are better for gel packaging because they:
 Are lighter and provide increased portability for end-users
 Need about 60% less plastic than traditional packaging
 Require less energy to produce
 Emit less CO2 and produce less landfill waste material
 Allow for efficient and economical transportation

POUCH PACKAGING FOR GELS?

4. CONSIDERATIONS FOR
YOUR GEL PACKAGING MACHINE
When you are deciding on a liquid pouch packaging machine,
it is essential to discuss your packaging requirements with your
packaging machine manufacturer. These include:
In the case of gel packaging, viscosity has a considerable
effect on the rate at which the liquid/gel travels, how
long it takes to set in place, and the time it takes to
insert the fluid into flexible packaging.
Viscosity reduces when viscous products are heated,
allowing them to flow more easily. Hence when
deciding on the filling system, the temperature at
which the liquid is filled is of critical importance.
The packaging material you choose should furnish a
reliable barrier to protect against external elements
that may end up spoiling your product like dust,
moisture, oxygen et al.

5. Customers of today expect in-depth and authentic information
about the product and its usage on the pack. This calls for a
packaging machine that facilitates this critical requirement and
also presents your brand to the world.
You need to decide on a package size and package
format - single or multiple dose sachets, larger
stand-up pouches with zippers, spouts
or handles
