Flat Pouch FAQs:
Here are some product-specific FAQs regarding single serve packaging and sachets. Our general packaging FAQ's can be found here. Don't hesitate to reach out if you have a specific question.
What's the difference between a sachet and a flat pouch?
They're pretty much the same, except flat pouches usually have zippers. Sachets are smaller and have just a tear notch for single use (like wet wipe or a drink powder). You'll also hear the term "3-sided seal" (3SS). That's a pre-formed sachet sealed on 3 sides, with the fourth side left open for product insertion.
Is the lead time the same for flat pouches and stand up pouches?
Yes, as they both go through the same printing and converting process. Quantity and SKU allotment are lead time drivers. The fastest option is roll stock, since we don't have to run it through the pouching and converting process.
Are single serve pouches and sachets easy to open?
That depends on the size of the pouch and the fill amount. We'd suggest getting some samples to test, while discussing the fill size of your product.
