Are Bottles Really More Expensive Than Pouches?

If your product is still packed in plastic or glass bottles, it might be time to ask: is this the best option for your brand? More businesses are moving to custom drink pouches with caps, and it’s easy to see why. They’re lightweight, cost less to produce, and give brands more room for creativity. At DINGLI PACK, we help you build packaging that protects your liquid products and supports your growth.

Bottles Cost More Than You Think

Making a bottle takes more plastic than making a pouch. That means more raw materials, which leads to higher production costs. Plastic comes from oil, and oil is expensive. When your packaging uses more plastic, it costs more—every single time.

By contrast, stand-up spout pouches use much less plastic. Still, they stay strong, leakproof, and food-safe. While a single plastic bottle may cost over 35 cents, a pouch of the same size often costs between 15 and 20 cents. That’s a big saving, especially when you scale up production.

Pouches Save on Storage and Shipping Too

Cost doesn’t end at manufacturing. Bottles take up more space. A thousand bottles might fill an entire room. A thousand pouches? They fit neatly in one big box. That means you save on warehouse space and storage costs.

Shipping is also easier. Since pouches are flat before filling, they’re lightweight and compact. One truckload of bottles might carry half as many units as a truckload of pouches. That makes a difference—especially for brands shipping products across regions or countries.

More Ways to Show Off Your Brand

With bottles, your design space is limited. You often rely on a label to make your product stand out. Pouches are different. They offer full-surface printing and flexible shapes. Whether you want something bright and bold or clean and minimal, pouches let you do it your way.

We offer a wide range of custom-shaped spout pouches. These come in many sizes, forms, and finishes. You can add a matte texture, glossy highlights, or even a transparent window. It’s a great way to make your packaging match your product and appeal to your audience.

Designed for Daily Use

Pouches aren’t just smart for your business—they’re practical for your customers. Our spout pouches are easy to open, easy to pour, and simple to reseal. There’s less mess, less waste, and more convenience.

For products like shampoos, body scrubs, or lotion refills, our leakproof refill pouches also seal in scent and freshness. The pouches stand up on their own, so they look tidy in bathrooms or on shelves. They’re ideal for modern lifestyles and eco-conscious buyers.

A Real Case: One Brand’s Switch Made a Big Impact

One of our clients, a cold brew coffee brand from Germany, switched from bottles to spouted stand-up pouches for their newest launch. They cut packaging costs by 40%. They fit more product per shipment. They also saw better customer reviews because the pouch was easier to carry and pour. And the new design stood out on crowded retail shelves.

This change helped them grow faster, without adding more logistics cost or warehouse space.
