Description: This spouted stand-up pouch package for 1 L lubricant oil replaces traditional rigid plastic bottles and reduces greenhouse gas emissions by more than 1,100%, packaging landfilled by 163%, and plastic usage by 64%. The pouch was designed to protect the integrity of high-performance oils and lubricants, which tend to migrate and may cause layer separation. The technical aspects to ensure leakage, dart, and puncture resistance, as well as the physical appearance of the pouch, were considered in the design process. Compared with rigid bottles, inventories of spouted pouches are much more space efficient and require much less area to store.
