Stick Pack Services

Single-serve products hinge on convenience, and oversized sachets, leaky pouches, and slow-running fill lines can quickly derail even the most promising launches. Stick packing solves this with a slim, precisely dosed format consumers can tear open with a single hand and brands can run at high speed. BelPak delivers stick packing built for the speed and precision that today’s top brands demand.

From electrolyte powders and protein blends to instant coffee, drink mixes, and nutraceuticals, our stick packing lines handle dry, granular, and free-flowing products. We support brands from pilot runs to national rollouts while maintaining fill accuracy and seal integrity.

A Partner Across the Full Packaging Lifecycle

Stick packing is part of a full-service workflow: formulation and dry blending, stick fill, secondary cartoning, retail-ready setup, custom labeling, and distribution all under the accountability structure in our primary packaging program. From raw material to finished pallet, our contract manufacturing and food contract manufacturing teams manage projects end-to-end to reduce handoffs and shorten timelines.  Quality in stick packing is about proof, not promises. Our facilities operate under SQF, HACCP, and GFSI certifications, with Organic, Kosher, and Halal capabilities available across the network. Our Quality Assurance program runs in-process checks every shift, and our sustainability commitments inform film selection, waste reduction, and source-reduction strategies.

What BelPak Delivers in Stick Packing

Stick packing requires tight tolerances. Fill weights must meet spec every cycle, films must seal cleanly, and changeovers can’t impact uptime. Our multi-lane filling with in-line quality checks as well as nitrogen flushing for oxygen-sensitive formulas delivers consistent unit quality at production volume.

Stick packs use less film than traditional sachets, cutting material costs and supporting sustainability targets without sacrificing barrier protection. Their narrow profile fits countertop displays, multi-pack cartons, club store packs, and subscription mailers, opening retail channels bulkier formats cannot serve

Frequently Asked Questions

A stick pack is a slim, tubular package with a single longitudinal back seam and seals at each end, typically four times longer than it is wide. A sachet is flat and rectangular, sealed on three or four sides. Stick packs offer better single-handed pour control and use less film per unit, while sachets provide more printable surface area for branding and instructions. Both formats are produced on vertical form-fill-seal equipment however stick pack lines are configured to produce the higher unit outputs the format is known for.

Stick packs are best suited for free-flowing powders, granules, fine crystals, and certain liquids and gels. Common applications include drink mixes, electrolyte and hydration powders, instant coffee and tea, single-serve sweeteners, protein and collagen, fiber supplements, vitamin and mineral premixes, and pharmaceutical-grade powders. Sticky, oily, or chunky materials usually require formulation adjustments or a different format. BelPak’s team will assess your product’s flow characteristics, density, and moisture sensitivity during scoping to confirm the right fit.

Stick pack widths commonly fall between 23 mm and 40 mm, with lengths ranging from roughly 80 mm to 200 mm depending on dose volume. Powder fill weights usually run from about 1 gram up to 15 grams per stick, though larger formats can accommodate more. Final dimensions depend on bulk density, serving size, film specifications, and downstream cartoning requirements. We size each project to your product, your retail format, and the line speed your launch volume demands.

Stick packs use multi-layer laminated films that combine a printable outer layer, a metallized or foil barrier layer, and a food-contact sealant layer. This construction blocks oxygen, moisture, light, and aroma migration, which are the four primary drivers of degradation in powdered and granular products. Pairing the right film with nitrogen flushing extends shelf life further for sensitive ingredients like probiotics, omega oils, and certain vitamins. Our team will recommend a film specification matched to your product’s stability profile and target shelf life.
