Is Your Stick Pack Filler & Co-Packager Ready for Soaring Stick Pack Demand?

Knowledge Center

Thirsty for convenience, today’s consumers are snapping up stick packs by the millions.

The trend is only accelerating – with the $461 million global stick packaging market projected to grow by 5.4% every year through 2030.1 Leading the charge are health and wellness products, as consumers look to stay hydrated, energized and nourished on-the-go.

To take advantage of this continued growth with your new and exciting hydration or nutraceutical product, now is the time to lay the foundation for lasting success with a stick pack filling partner. Explore the four signs your stick pack filler and co-packer is well equipped to help you meet soaring market demand.

Your Stick Pack Filler Has Experience in Filling YOUR Product Type(s)

Drink powders are full of possibilities. Your product development team is working hard behind the scenes to produce a high-quality, differentiating product full of innovative flavors, essential nutrients and clean ingredients.

However, today’s savvy consumers expect more than just great taste. They’re looking for a consistent, positive product experience.

Getting your stick pack filling process right is crucial to prevent waste, protect consumers and build brand reputation with the consistency and quality that customers demand. Depending on your ingredients, powder consistency and other factors, your process might need:

  • High-precision equipment to ensure accurate dosing
  • Nitrogen flushing and dust control measures in place to avoid contaminants
  • Temperature- and humidity-controlled facilities to reduce clumping and optimize powder distribution

Your Stick Pack Co-Packer Is Always Ready to Pivot and Scale

If you’re an emerging brand, you might not need millions of stick packs per month – at least not yet! On the other hand, if your product is already leading the market, you might be eyeing new efficiencies, product development or better ways to scale.

Whatever’s next, you need to be prepared with help from your stick pack co-packer.

Look for a variety of multi-lane filling machinery capabilities for stick packaging of all material types (including paper, plastic and foil). A range of single-lane, 5-lane and 10-lane equipment availability can ensure scalability as your brand grows.

This breadth and depth of stick pack filling services will also ensure your filler can keep lead times consistent – and low – while scaling up volumes.

Did you know?

WePackItAll fills 120 million stick packs a month – with growing capacity – all while delivering your product in days, not weeks.

Your Partner Can Fill Stick Packs and Secondary Packaging Types

A stick pack’s grab-and-go size can make it challenging to ship or sell individual products. That’s where secondary packaging can help.

Today’s attractive, durable pouches offer an ideal retail format for single and multi-flavor packs. Cartons can also serve as effective secondary packages to deliver multi-serving solutions to consumers.

In-house investments in primary and secondary packaging equipment can be cost prohibitive for brands looking to drive efficiencies and cut costs. A stick pack filler and co-packer can help you avoid major capital expenditures with this equipment already in place.

Did you know?

You can streamline your supply chain by turning to WePackItAll not only for package filling services, but also pouch assembly, collating, shrink wrapping and paper bundling.

Your Stick Pack Filling Partner ALWAYS Puts Quality First

As the final phase before your product hits the shelves or ships to consumers, package filling is a pivotal moment for quality assurance.

National and international quality and safety certifications, such as NSF, SQF, ASQ and GMP, are key to ensure consistent results for nutraceuticals and food products.

Pairing these credentials with a strong record of material, packaging and process expertise goes a long way toward:

  • Protecting your reputation
  • Keeping end-users safe
  • Avoiding waste
  • Building brand loyalty

Be sure to carefully vet any potential partner on the quality processes they follow.
