From custom aluminium foil pouches to stand-up zipper bags — every solution is crafted to meet Portugal's retail, food-safety and sustainability requirements.
Portugal's flexible packaging sector is expanding rapidly, driven by consumer demand for convenience, sustainability and premium product presentation.
Portugal's retail sector — from Lisbon's bustling supermarkets to Porto's specialty food stores and Algarve's tourism-driven hospitality industry — has seen explosive growth in squeeze pouch adoption over the past five years. The format is particularly popular for fruit purées, baby foods, olive oils, condiments, yoghurt, cosmetic gels and pharmaceutical preparations.
Portugal's participation in the EU Single Market means packaging must comply with EU food contact material regulations (EC 1935/2004) and the Green Deal's ambitious recycling targets. Sengelin's squeeze pouches are engineered with these regulations as a baseline, giving Portuguese importers and distributors peace of mind and eliminating costly compliance delays.
Furthermore, Portugal's booming e-commerce landscape has increased the need for lightweight, tamper-evident, leak-proof flexible pouches that survive complex last-mile logistics — precisely where squeeze pouches excel over rigid containers.
Sengelin has been a strategic supplier to multinational retailers operating in Portugal, including brands stocked at Walmart-affiliated channels, Continente and Pingo Doce supply chains.
From artisan food producers in the Alentejo to cosmetics brands in Lisbon — squeeze pouches are transforming product packaging throughout Portugal.
Portugal is one of the world's top olive oil producers. Squeeze pouches provide an airtight, light-blocking format that preserves the freshness and aroma of high-grade azeite while reducing packaging weight for export to global markets.
Portugal's health-conscious parents are increasingly choosing squeezable pouches for fruit and vegetable purées. The spout format enables mess-free feeding on the go, and our BPA-free laminate materials fully comply with EU infant food contact standards.
Portuguese cosmetics brands — from natural skincare to professional hair care — are switching to squeeze pouches for creams, gels, serums and shampoos. The format reduces plastic waste, aligns with REACH regulations and enhances shelf appeal.
With Portugal's thriving sports culture — from football academies to surf camps in Ericeira — single-serve energy gel squeeze pouches are in high demand. Our pouches deliver precision dosage in a durable, tear-resistant format ideal for athletic performance.
Portugal's iconic codfish (bacalhau) and sardine paste products are finding new audiences through modern squeeze pouch formats. Retort-compatible pouches extend shelf life while maintaining the authentic flavour profile consumers expect.
The Portuguese pharmaceutical sector is adopting squeeze pouches for liquid supplements, oral care gels and topical preparations. High-barrier aluminium foil laminate structures protect sensitive active ingredients from moisture, oxygen and UV degradation.
Global and regional trends are converging to accelerate squeeze pouch adoption — here are the most significant developments shaping Portugal's packaging landscape.
The EU Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR) requires all packaging to be recyclable by 2030. Sengelin is already producing mono-material PE and PP squeeze pouches that meet these standards, giving Portuguese brands a compliance-ready solution ahead of the deadline.
Portuguese SMEs and artisan producers need small-batch, high-quality print runs. Our HP Indigo 20000 and 25000 digital presses eliminate minimum order quantity barriers, enabling rapid market testing and seasonal limited-edition packaging for Portuguese brands.
Portuguese consumers are embracing QR-code-enabled packaging for traceability, brand storytelling and loyalty programmes. Sengelin's high-resolution digital printing supports QR codes, NFC tags and augmented reality triggers printed directly onto squeeze pouches.
As Portugal advances its climate commitments, brand owners are under pressure to reduce supply chain carbon emissions. Squeeze pouches weigh up to 90% less than equivalent glass or rigid plastic containers, dramatically cutting transport costs and CO₂ emissions on Portugal–China shipping lanes.
Portugal's export-focused food and beverage producers require extended shelf life without preservatives. Our advanced multi-layer EVOH and aluminium foil barrier structures achieve 24+ month shelf life, unlocking new international distribution opportunities for Portuguese manufacturers.
Portugal's online grocery and DTC (direct-to-consumer) sectors are growing at double-digit rates. Squeeze pouches with reinforced seams, child-resistant spouts and tamper-evident caps are purpose-built for the rigours of e-commerce fulfilment and last-mile delivery.
