Engineered for Ketchup: High-Barrier & Acid-Resistant Spout Pouch Solutions
Tomato ketchup is a high-acid, oxygen-sensitive, and viscous food. Standard pouches often fail due to delamination, flavor loss, or clogging. Our high acid food pouch structures are specifically designed to overcome these challenges — ensuring your ketchup stays fresh, red, and easy to dispense for 12-18 months without preservatives.
High Acid Resistance

- Passed 90-day acetic acid immersion test (EU 10/2011)
Color & Flavor Retention
- High-barrier aluminum foil ketchup pouch or transparent EVOH structure
- Oxygen transmission rate < 1 cm³/m²·24h — prevents browning
- Retains natural lycopene content and tomato aroma
Anti-Clog Spout Design
- 38mm wide-diameter straight-flow spout — no pulp blockage
- Residue rate < 2% — consumers can squeeze out almost all ketchup
- Compatible with smooth and chunky tomato sauce varieties
Hot-Fill & Retort Ready

Frequently Asked Questions About Ketchup Spout Pouches
A retort ketchup pouch uses a specialized laminate (typically PET/Aluminum Foil/CPP) that can withstand 121°C high-temperature sterilization. This allows the filled and sealed pouch to be thermally processed, achieving 12-18 months of ambient shelf life without preservatives. A standard spout pouch is designed for cold-fill or hot-fill applications and may have a shorter shelf life depending on the barrier structure.
For digital printing, the MOQ starts at just 1,000 pieces — ideal for startups and market testing. For gravure printing (which offers the best print quality and cost efficiency at scale), the MOQ is 10,000 pieces. Contact us for a precise quote based on your design and volume requirements.
