Oil & Lubricants Flexible Packaging
When converting from rigid bottles to stand-up pouches, leading oil & lubricant brands turn to Glenroy. We helped develop the first stand-up oil pouch in the United States power sports industry and have assisted brands in repackaging entire product lines of engine oils into stand-up pouches.

At Glenroy, our packaging engineers collaborate with you to understand the unique features you need in your packaging. From there, we turn your ideas into prototypes, ensuring the best solution for your product. Our experts provide on-site technical support and offer services like drop testing, burst testing, and product/package compatibility testing. With our flexible packaging solutions, you get durability, functionality, and aesthetic appeal.
Stand-up pouches offer many benefits for oil & lubricant packaging:
Exceptional Convenience and Portability
Stand-up pouches offer a more convenient and portable solution than traditional rigid bottles. Incorporating features such as spouts and handles, they allow for easy pouring and handling. Furthermore, pouches are lighter, typically using about 60% less plastic than conventional bottles, making them easier to transport and store.
Shelf Impact
Stand-up pouches stand out amongst the rows of bottles currently on shelves, providing you with an additional competitive advantage. Flexible packaging offers a way for oil and lubricant manufacturers to differentiate their products, and stand-up pouches provide approximately 7 times more printed surface area to display eye-catching graphics than what is provided by labels on bottles. This makes your oil and lubricant products more likely to capture attention and attract customers, especially in the crowded automotive aisle.

First Stand-up Oil Pouch in the United States Power Sports Industry
Glenroy partnered with Arctic Cat to introduce the first stand-up oil pouch in the U.S. power sports industry for a 1.4-L container of engine oil. This innovation not only improved convenience for users but also helped Arctic Cat differentiate their product in a competitive market.
Durability and Protection
Our stand-up pouches are custom-engineered for durability. Designed to withstand rigorous burst and drop testing, they provide exceptional seal strength to protect the contents. Glenroy pouches can handle the unique demands of storing and transporting high-performance lubricants and oils without compromising the product’s integrity.
Advanced Barrier Materials
One of the challenges of flexible packaging for oils and lubricants is the migration of oil through the material, leading to delamination, which compromises both product integrity and pouch strength. At Glenroy, we address this with highly engineered materials that offer superior barrier properties. Our custom packaging solutions keep your high-performance engine oils, lubricants, and fuel additives protected, ensuring they remain fresh and effective.
Eco-friendly Packaging
Switching to stand-up pouches offers numerous environmental advantages. Compared to rigid plastic bottles, flexible pouches:
- Require less energy and generate fewer CO2 emissions during production.
- Provide a higher product-to-package ratio, meaning less material is needed.
- Require fewer trucks for transportation, reducing fuel consumption and emissions.
- Create significantly less landfill waste due to source reduction.
Opting for pouches helps reduce your environmental impact while maintaining high standards of packaging performance.
More Space, Less Hassle
In addition to being more eco-friendly, stand-up pouches offer a more efficient storage solution. Unlike rigid bottles, pouches take up much less space, allowing for more efficient inventory management. By choosing pouches, you project a brand image of innovation, environmental responsibility, and quality: three key attributes that resonate with today’s consumers.
