Hot Fill Spout Pouches: Retort-Grade, 121°C
Spout pouches built for hot fill and for retort at 121°C — what to send for a specification, plus MOQ, samples and lead time.
Hot Fill Spout Pouches
Hot fill and retort are not the same demand, and most pouches only take one of them. Ours are built for both — specified for hot filling and for retort at 121°C.
121°C
Retort is the harder test. A pouch that seals cleanly when filled hot can still fail once it has been through 121°C with pressure behind it, and the failure shows up in the seal rather than in the film.
That is the part we build and test for. If your process includes retort, state the temperature and the cycle time — the specification is set from those, not from the filling temperature alone.
