(57) Packaging system for producing pouches comprising a water-soluble film and a gel, comprising:
- multiple moulds (5),
- a mould conveyer (8),
-- a filling device (13) comprising multiple gel dispensers (15), each gel dispenser comprising:
- a reservoir (18)
- an integer nozzle number of nozzles (20),
- a pin holder (23) arranged in the reservoir holding a pin number of pins (24), wherein:

-- the pin number is equal to the nozzle number,
-- the pin holder (23) is moveable by a pin actuator (25) from an active position into an inactive position, and vice versa,
-- in the inactive position of the pin holder, the pins (24) are arranged in the reservoir (18) and the nozzle openings (22) are in fluid communication with the reservoir (18),
-- in the active position of the pin holder (23), each pin (24) extends into the nozzle (20) through hole of its associated nozzle to expel gel from the nozzle through hole.
