What is the process of making spout bags?

In the realm of innovative flexible packaging, spout pouches have emerged as a preferred choice for their convenience and resealability. At Hebei Cangzhou RuiHong Packaging Co., Ltd., we've mastered the art of crafting these essential commodities, blending precision engineering with creativity to deliver top-quality products since 2003. Our ISO 9001/2000 certification stands testament to our commitment to excellence in every aspect of our operations, including the intricate process of spout pouch production.

The manufacturing journey of a spout pouch is a symphony of specialized procedures, each step harmoniously building upon the last to create a package that not only protects but also enhances the user experience. Let's delve deeper into the key stages of this process:

Printing: The first step in bringing a spout pouch to life is printing. This is no ordinary print job; it requires meticulous attention to detail and the use of high-temperature-resistant inks, especially around the spout area. These inks ensure that the design remains intact even under the heat of sealing. For added assurance, curing agents may be incorporated to bolster the seal's integrity. It's crucial to avoid matte oil printing on the spout section due to varying heat resistance, which could lead to undesirable adhesion during sealing.

Lamination: The bonding of layers through lamination calls for adhesives that can withstand the rigors of heat associated with the spout attachment. Ordinary glue will not suffice here; high-temperature-resistant adhesives are imperative, particularly for pouches intended for high-temperature retorting. Proper venting and pressure maintenance are critical during retort processes to prevent any bag swelling or ruptures that might occur if these steps are mismanaged.

Sealing: The art of sealing involves setting the right temperature based on the characteristics of the thermal material, film thickness, frequency of heat sealing, and the size of the sealed area. A lower temperature setting might be appropriate when the same area undergoes multiple sealing passes. Adequate pressure is vital for effective sealing, yet an excessive amount can lead to material extrusion, affecting both the pouch's appearance and its seal strength. Sealing time is another critical factor, influenced not just by temperature and pressure but also by the performance of the thermal materials and the heating method used. Whether it's single-sided or dual-sided heating, our machines are optimized for efficiency and practicality.

Spout Attachment: The addition of spouts is a craft within itself, with two primary methods prevailing in the industry: manual attachment with a single heat-sealing process and automatic attachment with four rounds of heat and cold sealing treatments. The automatic approach involves pre-heating the plastic spouts before attachment, ensuring both internal and external quality as well as compliance with hygiene standards.
