Stick Pack Manufacturing & Packaging

At Micelle, we understand the importance of having high-quality, reliable packaging for your products. That’s why we offer comprehensive contract manufacturing and packaging services, including stick packs.

What are Stick Packs?

Stick packs are a type of flexible pouch suitable for food packaging. Perfect for single servings of gels or powders, stick packs are an ideal solution for packaging snacks, powdered drinks, travel products, nutraceuticals, and various samples. They can also be used for protein powders and single serve whey products.

Stick packaging gets its name from its shape, which is long and skinny like a stick of gum. The packs themselves are sealed on two shorts ends and have a seal down the back. They are a specific form of vertical fill, form and seal (VFFS) pouches. The material can be paper or plastic and can be printed or plain.

The fundamental and differentiating characteristic of the stick pack flexible packaging is that they are single-dose containers. These elongated, tube-shaped, easy-opening and accurately dosed bags are extremely versatile. Stick packs meet the needs of today’s consumer because they are easy to take and consume anywhere.

We understand your product barrier requirements are unique. We can assist with analytical testing, R&D including formulation and flavoring, and stability/compatibility testing.

Stick Pack Benefits

The primary benefit of stick packaging over other forms of food packaging is the convenience. Stick packs are easy to open and use, provide less mess and spilling, and can be disposed of cleanly. Also, a single stick pack conveniently holds a single serving size so it is compact and fits neatly in your purse or backpack. In short, stick packs offer an economical alternative to bulkier packaging in a simple, appealing design.

Additionally, because the packs are small and are produced on dedicated machines the production rates are high and the per-item costs are low.

Finally, stick packs typically utilize much less material and packaging content than regular portion packets, making them more environmentally friendly and less wasteful.

  • Can contain many different products
  • Higher production rates with very low maintenance
  • More efficiency in package capacity
  • Easy opening for a more exact dosage
