Stick packaging refers to a long and narrow pouch that became popular when CPG companies learned how easy it was to open and pour a powder mix into a bottle of water. Since the genesis of the Crystal Light stick pack, there have been many similar versions available on the market in both length, width and fill weight, but they all continue to have one thing in common: they all need to be run on a “Stick Packaging” machine, which is a specific vertical form, fill and seal machine that will create the “stick pack”.

Assemblies Unlimited offers many different stick packaging solutions and would be happy to help you with your next project. We can provide a “labor only” solution or a full turnkey option if you would like us to source and supply all the raw packaging materials in addition to the contract filling. Stick packages can be run on a single lane machine for smaller volumes (25K minimum) or on an 8 or 10-lane machine for high volume applications (1MM+).

In addition to labor, we can provide the following raw packaging materials for your Stick Packaging project:

• Clear or printed flexible stick packaging film
• Printed retail folding cartons (30 count is popular)
• Inner cartons
• Master cartons
• Counter displays
• POP displays
