From Rigid Bottles to Spouted Pouches: Innovation that Transforms Packaging and Performance
When Prestone, a trusted leader in automotive fluids, set out to refresh its packaging to a flexible spouted pouch for its top-off pouch, the goal was clear: reduce environmental impact, improve cost efficiency and ensure product safety. The company saw an opportunity to evolve the packaging from a rigid bottle to a large-format spouted pouch – a lighter and more sustainable packaging solution that uses significantly less plastic.
To make this vision a reality, Prestone needed more than a supplier. It needed partners with the expertise to deliver a high-performing closure system capable of safely containing automotive chemicals, ensuring child resistance and maintaining seal integrity. Equally important, the new design needed to meet customer demand for a more sustainable packaging option, one that strengthens the brand, reduces transportation impact and enhances the overall user experience.
Pouch converter and flexible packaging manufacturer Zacros America partnered with closure expert Hoffer Plastics to rise to the challenge. Together, they combined Zacros’ flexible pouch design expertise with Hoffer’s precision-engineered Trust-T-Lok™ P22 spout to create a safe, efficient and sustainable packaging solution that brought Prestone’s vision to life.
