Actually, on the current market for the liquid detergents areas, most products are packed in plastic bottles, like 2liters or 3 liters,such as Tide, Wisk, as you can see most of the household detergents brand in the supermarket.

This is the truth that plastic bottles will give more reliable packaging profile to the consumers, and also easy use for the end-users, and this is also why most consumers are quite used to liquid detergent in plastic barrels.

However, actually, more and more liquid detergents are beginning to be packed in spout doypacks, as you can see some of the spout doypacks we produce for our customers.

There must be some reasons for the rise of this spout doypacks, and in this article, I am going to talk about some bright points for the spout doypacks.

1) Flexible Volume

Think about the most used plastic bottles, what volumes do you intend if you are going to pack liquid detergent, 1liter, 2liter or 3liter? I believe, you can hardly imagine a plastic barrel to pack liquid detergent at 250ml or even 100ml promotional volume, however, when it comes to spout doypacks, it is quite flexible for a spout doypack to pack 250ml, 100ml, and even 50ml. 

Yes, actually, I have ever produced spout doypack intended for 50ml hair cream for one of my UAE customers, and he just use this 50ml spout doypack for promotional purpose for his new style products. That will be very suitable, right?

So, many liquid detergent manufacturers are willing to make use of this flexible volume, to lauch their products in different volumes, that may catch the uncertain needs of the final consumers.

2) Differentiate Competition

Judging from the outside appearance, spout doypack is quite different from the plastic bottles. When you walk in front of the goods shelf with lots of plastic bottles, with just a glimpse of spout doypack, will that be different to capture your attention?

Actually, some of our customers indeed use spout doypack to make their products different, to differentiate their competition with similar products, to avoid the consumers just look on the prices.

3) Lower Packaging Costs

Take the 3liter detergent for example. The price for a spout doypack is nearly one 1/3-1/2 of the price of a plastic barrel. 

That has not included the shipping costs of empty barrels delivered to the manufacturing department, as you know, to ship the plastic barrels empty is much like shipping air, this is also why the detergent manufacturers will have to locate supply of plastic barrels nearby. However, the spout doypacks can be shipped folded, that will take much less space, and the freight costs can usually be neglected.

4) Branding

The whole surface of the spout doypacks can be printed with the brand and logo, that will create an attractive effect for the consumers, however, you can hardly imagine the whole body of the plastic barrel be fully printed.

Based on the above-mentioned aspects, more and more liquid detergent are starting to be packed in spout pouches, and despite of this, the consumers in some places are still used to the habit of plastic bottled detergent. This is really consumer habit that can not be challenged easily. So, you may decide on your own to choose the best packaging for your detergent products.
