A stick pack is the ideal single serve packaging solution. Brands are drawn to this form factor because it is convenient and user-friendly. It allows for easy dispensing and on-the-go consumption. This makes it highly desirable for products such as single serve drink powders and vitamin supplements, like collagen.
Here are the top 5 reasons consumers are drawn to stick pack products.
Ask for a free sample kit to see how stick packs and stand up pouches go hand in hand. Need film right away? No problem. The Pouch House can print stick film roll stock within 5-10 business days after proof / trial approval. Formed powder packets for manual filling are produced within 15 business days after proof approval.
All of our wrappers have a high-barrier metalized, foil like, inner layer and can be coated in either matte or gloss finishes. Matte coatings seem to be the most popular choice in the marketplace, but the choice is yours!
This is a perfect solution for protein powder packaging. We will send a trial roll to ensure the size and material are verified on your stick pack filling machine.
Since stick packs are exclusive to automated filling, roll stock film is the only solution for this form factor. We will work with your co packer, or your filling machine provider, to ensure an optimum packaging experience.
THINGS TO KNOW.
We have minimum order values. Roll stock is $1,500, standard size pouches is $1,250 and custom size pouches are $2,500.
Oftentimes customers want the stick pack form factor, but do not have automated filling equipment or a co-packer. Remember: Stick pack is exclusive to automated filling. If you’re looking for a manual fill you’d have to purchase a pre-formed flat packet. Read more here.
We can refer you to sources that offer co-packing or filling equipment sales. If you don’t have large initial qty’s, you may find yourself limited to manual filling until you’re ready to scale up. It all depends on your sales goals and projections.
