Customer stories

Used by leading home care brands

Home care packaging has to hold up and use far less material than the bottle it replaces. We match the structure to your product, liquid, powder or tablet, so sustainability never costs you function.

Why Grounded

Engineered for liquids, refills, and everything in between

Home care runs from refill liquids to dishwasher tablets and powders, and each product asks something different from its packaging. We match the format and the material to the product: spout refill pouches for liquids, resealable pouches for tablets, sheets and powders.

Designed for user ergonomics

Customised customer first design solutions. Spout pouches that pour clean and reseal, die-cut handles for larger formats, and closures specified around your product.

Refill, with a material reduction win

A flexible refill pouch replaces a rigid bottle using up to 80% less plastic. Less to ship, store, and less to landfill at a reduced cost.

Leak-proof, barrier-matched engineering

Seals and films built to carry your product through transit to the shelf, and to keep powders and tablets protected from moisture.

Packaging

Products and specifications available

Home care packaging has to suit the formulation it holds and design for easy use for your customers. Refill-ready pouches engineered for liquids: spouts that pour clean, seals that hold, and a format that uses far less material than a rigid bottle. Powders and tablets move to resealable stand-up and flat-bottom formats.

Materials, impact & price

Sustainable materials with verified impact

In home care the product decides the material. Liquids need a reliable film that won't react with the formula; powders, tablets and sheets open up more, including certified compostable. And the refill format itself uses far less material than the rigid bottle it replaces, before recycled content is even counted.

We engineer structures matched to your formulation, then work with you to find the right sustainable spec for your product, your format and the market you sell into. You see the options together: the materials, their impact data and the price per unit, all in one conversation. No hidden trade-offs and no golden ticket, just informed decisions based on evidence.

Got home care packaging questions? Here's the answers.

Can cleaning and home care liquids go in a recyclable pouch?

Yes, liquid home care products run in recyclable mono-material PE spout pouches with up to 70% post-consumer recycled content, recyclable via soft-plastics (#4 LDPE) collection. The engineering matters: liquid puts all its pressure on the seams, so structures are burst-tested and spouts are moulded to hold through filling, transit and repeated use. We also verify your formulation won't react with the film before production.

Why isn't compostable packaging suitable for liquid cleaning products?

Because compostable films are designed to break down in moist conditions, they're hygroscopic, so a liquid product attacks the pack from the inside and it can begin degrading before it's used. Compostable packaging is an excellent fit for dry home care: tablets, powders and sheets up to 1kg, certified home or industrially compostable. For liquids, recyclable PCR is the honest, durable choice.

How much less plastic does a refill pouch use than a rigid bottle?

A flexible refill pouch uses less plastic than the equivalent rigid bottle, the format itself is the biggest sustainability win, before recycled content is even counted. Pouches also ship and store flat: thousands of refills fit in the space a pallet of bottles would need.

Can you make child-resistant closures for home care products?

Yes, child-resistant-style zipper closures are available on stand-up, flat-bottom, quad-seal and flat pouch formats.

What are your minimum order quantities, and do spout pouches have a mould fee?

Pouch MOQs start at 6,000 units digitally printed or 10,000 rotogravure. Spout pouches carry a one-off mould fee for the spout-to-pouch fitment, we flag it in every quote so there are no surprises.
