Explore our most popular flexible packaging solutions widely distributed across Barcelona's retail, food service, and industrial supply chains. Each product is fully customizable to meet local market standards and EU compliance requirements.
Barcelona, as Spain's leading commercial and industrial hub, represents one of the most dynamic flexible packaging markets in Southern Europe. The city's thriving food & beverage sector, cosmetics industry, and growing e-commerce ecosystem are driving unprecedented demand for squeeze pouches and stand-up flexible packaging.
🏙️Barcelona's vibrant food culture — from artisan sauces and olive oils to smoothie brands and baby food manufacturers — has made squeeze pouches the packaging format of choice. Local producers increasingly favor resealable, spout-equipped flexible pouches that align with EU food safety regulations (EC No 1935/2004) while reducing packaging waste by up to 70% compared to rigid containers.
The Barcelona cosmetics cluster, concentrated in the Zona Franca industrial district, sources millions of squeeze pouches annually for shampoos, conditioners, lotions, and travel-size products. Aluminum foil laminate pouches with precision spouts are particularly in demand for premium skincare brands targeting European retail chains.
Barcelona's municipal sustainability agenda and Catalonia's green packaging directives are accelerating the shift toward recyclable and compostable squeeze pouches. Kraft paper-based pouches with bio-based laminates are gaining strong traction among Barcelona's organic food brands, zero-waste retailers, and farm-to-table delivery services.
As the busiest container port in the Mediterranean, the Port of Barcelona serves as the primary gateway for flexible packaging imports from Asia. Squeeze pouch factories in Guangdong, China — including Sengelin — regularly ship full container loads (FCL) to Barcelona-based distributors who then supply markets across Spain, Portugal, France, and North Africa.
Since our establishment in 1999, Sengelin has grown into one of the most prominent plastic packaging manufacturers in Guangdong, China. Over the years, we have continuously introduced the latest printing technologies and developed a unique one-stop service model, aiming to provide global customers with packaging products of the highest quality.
Today, our products reach more than 100 countries and regions worldwide, and we have become a trusted core supplier for many internationally renowned brands and major retailers. Our advanced production facilities are equipped with mature digital printing capabilities, including HP Indigo 20000 and 25000 series digital presses, complemented by established gravure printing production lines.
For Barcelona importers and distributors, Sengelin offers dedicated account management, Spanish-language support documentation, EU-compliant material certifications, and fast ocean freight logistics via the Port of Barcelona.

The European flexible packaging market is undergoing rapid transformation. Here are the key trends shaping the squeeze pouch industry across Barcelona and the wider Iberian Peninsula.
The EU Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR) — coming into full effect by 2030 — is pushing Barcelona-based brands to transition from multi-layer laminates to mono-material PE or PP squeeze pouches that can be recycled in Spain's yellow-bin (contenedor amarillo) system. Sengelin is already developing compliant mono-material solutions for European clients.
Barcelona's premium baby food segment — led by brands distributed through El Corte Inglés and Carrefour Spain — is increasingly adopting high-barrier squeeze pouches with child-safe flip-top spouts. This segment is projected to grow at 8.2% CAGR through 2027, creating significant import demand from Asian pouch manufacturers.
Barcelona's booming DTC food and wellness brands — operating on platforms like Amazon.es and Glovo — require lightweight, puncture-resistant squeeze pouches that minimize shipping damage while maximizing shelf appeal. Short-run digital printing (HP Indigo technology) enables cost-effective customization for Barcelona's diverse SME brands.
Catalan food producers exporting olive oil, tomato sauce, aioli, and specialty condiments to the UK, Germany, and the US are rapidly adopting squeeze pouch formats to reduce shipping weight and improve consumer convenience — a shift that is driving substantial new demand for custom-printed flexible pouches from Barcelona's export-oriented food industry.
Inspired by Barcelona's Zero Waste strategy, several local FMCG companies are piloting refillable squeeze pouch systems for household cleaning products and personal care items. This emerging model requires robust, multi-use pouches with precision-engineered resealable closures — an area where Sengelin's engineering team provides specialized design support.
From La Boqueria market vendors to multinational FMCG companies headquartered in the 22@ innovation district, squeeze pouches are embedded across Barcelona's commercial and industrial landscape.
Small-batch producers of Catalan romesco sauce, sofregit, and picada are adopting 100–200ml squeeze pouches as a modern, hygienic alternative to glass jars — reducing breakage risk and lowering per-unit packaging costs by approximately 35%.
Barcelona's pharmaceutical cluster (home to companies like Almirall and Laboratorios Almirall) uses specialized squeeze pouches for enteral nutrition products, topical gel applications, and medical-grade lubricants — all requiring FDA/EU-compliant barrier films and sterilization-compatible seals.
Barcelona's thriving fitness culture — supported by over 800 registered gyms and a growing endurance sports community — has created strong demand for energy gel pouches, protein smoothie pouches, and electrolyte drink pouches sold through sports retailers like Decathlon and online via Amazon.es.
Spain's pet food market — valued at over €1.2 billion — relies heavily on wet pet food squeeze pouches and retort-compatible flexible packaging. Barcelona-based pet food brands and private-label manufacturers are among the largest importers of custom-printed pouches from Asian suppliers including Sengelin.
We persistently strive for the highest product quality. Every step — from prototyping to final product completion — is strictly conducted in our own factories. This integrated approach not only ensures full quality control but also allows us to offer competitive pricing.
What we discuss here goes beyond products and services; it is about trust and responsibility. For Barcelona importers, this means receiving consistent quality across every production run, reliable lead times, and packaging that performs flawlessly on European filling and sealing lines.
