Stick Packs & Sachets

Why brands choose this format.
Perfect portion control
Every package is one dose — consistent, measured, and mess-free for the customer.
Ultra portable
Slim sticks fit pockets, gym bags, and purses — packaging that travels with the customer.
Sampling powerhouse
Low material per unit makes sticks and sachets the most efficient format for trial and sampling programs.
Versatile contents
Powders, granules, liquids, and gels — with barrier structures matched to each.
High-speed production
Multi-lane filling means high output and efficient unit economics at volume.
Freshness per dose
Each serving is individually sealed — the tenth dose is as fresh as the first.

Stick pack vs. sachet — which one?
Stick packs are slim tubes sealed at top and bottom — ideal for pouring powders into bottles and for pocket portability. Sachets are flat, four-side-sealed packets — better for liquids, gels, creams, and wider contents like wipes or samples. Fill volume, product flow, and how your customer opens and uses the dose determine the right format; we'll guide you through it in a consult.
