How to choose the best package for my product. Stick pack or sachet? I think this is the most common problem that every company encounters. Today, I will help you solve your problems and choose the most suitable package for you to stand out in the market.
Both of them has their unique characteristics. You need to choose the one that suits your product. Straight to the point, for example, a stick pack -instant coffee/ pharma powder/ ice lolly/, etc.However, a sachet - cream/lotion/sauce/food stuff
Now, I will discuss the differences between the two. So, let's move forward.
Stick pack： It is a long and narrow single strip packaging, shaped like a tube, usually used for powder, granular or liquid products, such as instant coffee, protein powder, sports drinks, etc. The stick pack is easy to carry and can be used once. If your product is a single quantitative product, this will be a good choice
Sachet：It is a small single pouch, usually rectangular or square in shape, suitable for liquid, powder, paste or granular products, such as ketchup, shampoo, medicinal powder, etc.
Stick Pack: usually contains fixed small doses (usually between 1g and 30g), very suitable for precise portion control. Machine is required for precision filling and sealing to form a long and narrow packaging bag. The production process is more complicated, so the cost is higher.
Sachet：The sizes and capacities vary from very small trial packs to larger packs, depending on product requirements. They are produced by using more common packaging equipment, with relatively simple processes and low costs.
