Flexible packaging, from resealable doypack to single-dose solutions, are revolutionizing how brands deliver condiments like salad dressings and sauces. At Gualapack, we design high-performance, sustainable formats that meet the growing B2B demand for innovation, efficiency, and environmental responsibility.
The rising demand for flexible condiment packaging
The global sauces, dressings, and condiments market is projected to reach $237.54 billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 5.3%. Within this expansion, flexible packaging for condiments is outpacing traditional formats with an impressive 6.3% CAGR over the same period.
What’s behind this shift? Changing consumer preferences, a rise in on-the-go lifestyles, and a strong push for sustainability - all areas where flexible condiment pouches deliver undeniable advantages.
For food manufacturers, co-packers, and private label producers, this trend sends a clear message: evolve your packaging strategy to meet modern consumer expectations.
At home or outdoor, from retail to foodservice, pouches are the solution
From a quick office lunch with a fresh Caesar salad to an outdoor barbecue with family and friends, from restaurants to caterings, condiments pouches offer unbeatable practicality for both retail consumers and foodservice professionals.
Lightweight and compact, pouches are easy to carry anywhere and offer a clean and convenient way to add flavor to any dish, at home or for outdoor dining. Whether you’re reaching for olive oil, vinaigrette, or an exotic new dressing, these pouches fit perfectly into modern, flexible eating habits.
Choosing flexible packaging for condiments offers a wide range of advantages in a variety of contexts:
-
at home: smaller portions are perfect for fresh condiments like mayonnaise, to offer variety at home or for trial of new flavors, including ethnic or dipping sauces
-
at the office: salad dressings packs are convenient for office lunches, guaranteeing healthy eating out of home
-
outdoor: doypacks and single-dose sauce are the mess-free options for picnics and outdoor barbecues and parties
-
HORECA: flex packaging is ideal for hotels, restaurants or catering, to portion and serve efficiently
Why choose pouches for sauces and salad dressing?
Practical, lightweight and more sustainable: why leading brands are embracing flexible pouches for condiments:

-
Enhanced shelf impact: doypacks provide greater branding surface, ergonomic designs, and premium finishes that capture consumer attention in competitive retail environments.
