Seasonal Packaging for Holidays & Travel Essentials
Request Pouch SamplesHoliday season is never far away. Whether it’s an Easter city break, a long-awaited summer holiday, or a spontaneous weekend trip, people are always looking for ways to travel lighter and pack smarter.
Bulky bottles and overflowing wash bags are quickly becoming a thing of the past. Travellers are now looking for compact, convenient solutions that make packing easier while still giving them everything they need to stay refreshed on the go.
The Perfect Packaging for Travel
This is where flexible packaging really stands out. Sachets, spouted pouches and small stand-up pouches are lightweight, compact and easy to store in a handbag, backpack or carry-on case. They also help reduce the risk of leaks and spills that can often happen with traditional bottles.
For shorter trips especially, single-use formats are ideal. They provide just the right amount of product and can easily be disposed of after use, making them perfect for short trips. All while remaining sustainable using our fully recyclable mono range.
What Products Work Best in Sachets?
Sachets have been used in personal care for years, but they are particularly well suited to travel products. They provide a hygienic, convenient portion that customers can simply tear open and use.
Many everyday beauty and wellness products translate perfectly into sachet formats. Moisturisers, shampoos, conditioners and body washes are obvious choices, but travel-friendly formats also work well for products such as face cleansers, serums, sunscreens and after-sun lotions.
For people who like to freshen up while travelling, sachets are also perfect for things like hand sanitiser gels, cooling gels or refreshing facial treatments.
These smaller formats allow customers to carry the essentials without needing to bring full bottles. They’re also ideal for people who want to try new products while travelling.

Creating Travel Essential Kits
One of the most exciting opportunities for brands is the idea of travel kits.
Instead of selling products individually, brands can bundle together a collection of small sachets or stick packs inside a pouch to create a complete travel essentials kit. These kits can include everything someone might need for a short trip, all organised in one place.
It might contain a shampoo sachet, conditioner, moisturiser, face cleanser and sunscreen, creating a convenient bundle that customers can simply drop into their bag before leaving for a trip.
These kits are perfect for holiday travel, festivals, gym bags or overnight stays. They also work extremely well as promotional packs, subscription box products or limited-edition seasonal releases.
Flexible packaging makes it easy to design these kits in creative ways, giving brands the freedom to develop eye-catching packaging that feels fun, practical and ready for travel.
But the opportunity doesn’t stop with consumer travel products.
The same concept can also be used by airlines, rail companies and other travel providers looking to elevate the customer experience during a journey.
Instead of traditional bulky amenity packs filled with rigid bottles, passengers could receive a compact pouch containing everything they need to freshen up while travelling.
Flexible pouches make these kits lightweight and easy to distribute, while still offering everything a traveller might need. They’re simple to store on board, convenient for passengers to use and easy to take away after the journey.
There’s also an important sustainability advantage
Many traditional travel amenity kits rely on rigid plastic bottles or mixed-material packaging that can be difficult to recycle. Digitally printed flexible packaging offers a more streamlined alternative. Using mono-material sachets and pouches helps simplify recycling while reducing unnecessary packaging weight and bulk.
BakPac’s mono-material pouch range is designed to be fully recyclable where facilities exist, giving brands and travel companies the opportunity to offer convenient refresh kits while supporting sustainability goals.
Because flexible pouches use less material and take up far less space than rigid containers, they are also more efficient to transport and store – an important consideration for airlines, rail operators and travel brands managing large volumes of onboard products.
Refill Pouches for Frequent Travellers
For people who travel often or take longer trips, refill pouches offer another great solution.
Instead of buying small travel bottles every time they go away, customers can purchase refill spouted pouches of their favourite products and pour them into reusable travel containers.
These refill pouches are easy to use thanks to their spouts, which allow controlled pouring and resealing. They’re ideal for shampoos, body washes, lotions and other liquid products.
This refill approach helps reduce packaging waste while giving customers a cost-effective way to keep their travel kits topped up.
