What is Stick Pack Packaging?
At its core, stick pack packaging is a streamlined, tube-like packaging design primarily used for single servings of powders, granules, and liquids. A descendant of the sachet, the stick pack is a testament to how simplicity, when infused with a touch of modern engineering, can lead to monumental shifts in packaging.
Advantages of Using Stick Pack Packaging

- Portability: Their slender design makes them incredibly easy to carry, ideal for on-the-go consumers.
- Reduced Waste: By portioning out contents, stick packs can significantly diminish product waste.

Stick Pack Packaging Material
ePac’s commitment is unwavering: to craft stick packs that aren’t just containers, but partners in your brand’s journey. The material we use is more than just a protective barrier. It’s a canvas for your brand’s story, a shield against external contaminants, and a testament to sustainability.
Benefits of Using Rollstock for Stick Packs
Rollstock is the unsung hero behind the success of stick packs. Its benefits include:
- Speedy Production: Rollstock accelerates the packaging process, getting products to market faster.
