Shampoo Refill Pouch: Sizes, Spouts and MOQ
Refill pouch sizes for shampoo from travel to 1 L, how the spout and cap are chosen, and what a quotation needs — from a factory .
Shampoo Refill Spout Pouch
A shampoo refill spout pouch is a stand-up pouch with a welded spout and cap, filled with shampoo and sold either on its own or alongside a reusable bottle. It is the format most hair care brands use for a refill line.
Sizes
Trial and travel pouches start around 50–100 ml. Refill SKUs sit at 250–500 ml, family and bulk refills at 500 ml–1 L, and salon formats run larger.
Dimensions follow the fill volume — send the volume and we will confirm the pouch size.
What it holds
Any liquid formula can go in a spout pouch. Daily, moisturising, anti-dandruff, colour-care, natural, salon and concentrated shampoos all run in the same format, and conditioners run in it too.
Pouch or bottle
A bottle is rigid and familiar on shelf. A pouch is lighter, takes less space in transit and gives a larger printable surface.
Refill is one way to use it: the customer buys a bottle once and a pouch afterwards.
But that is no longer the main model — a growing number of hair care brands ship the spout pouch as the primary pack, because it is lighter, easier to store and handle, and uses less material than a rigid bottle.
