Filling Bags with Liquids

If you are working with liquids and other non-solid products, then consider making the switch to bags today. Using bags to package your liquid products may seem like an odd choice, but bags have benefits that make them superior to bottles. Bags are cheaper to ship because of its ability to compress when they are empty. Shipping one hundred empty bottles is going to be much more difficult than shipping one hundred empty bags. Bottles take up the same amount of space whether they are filled or empty. However, bags take up very little space when they are empty. If you are interested in making the switch to bottles or giving them a try, consult our guide on how to best fill them.

How to Fill Bottle Pouches

Our bottle pouches are specially designed to hold and protect liquids. Filling them is no hassle at all. To best make use of these innovative pouches:

• Place the bag on a flat surface.
• Use one hand to support the base of the pouch.
• Place a funnel in the spout opening.
• Slowly pour in your liquid and wait for it to drip down into the pouch.
• Continue until the pouch is full.
• Remove the funnel and screw on the cap.
• Turn the pouch upside down to check the quality of the seal.
