It usually uses a more flexible packaging material and has a lower dimensional stability than the original packaging , which significantly reduces the consumption of packaging material . Refill packs are used in particular in household chemistry and cosmetics , which are mostly liquid, pasty or pourable packaged goods. An example of refill packs are refill bags for liquid soap compared to the more robust soap dispenser packaging.

In this way, a producer can avoid taking back packaging, which is usually not very profitable, while still giving the consumer the opportunity to continue to use the original packaging, which is often of high practical value .
