Packaging options for private-label sachets

Sachets are a popular format for single-serving supplements, offering convenience and precise dosing for end users. For brand owners, choosing the right packaging involves balancing product protection, shelf appeal, and cost. This section explores the key packaging options available for private-label sachets, from material choices to sealing methods, helping you make informed decisions for your product line.

What to know first

Before selecting packaging, confirm your product's physical and chemical properties—powder, granule, or liquid—as these affect material compatibility and seal integrity. Sachet sizes typically range from 1g to 50g, with common materials like foil, paper, or plastic laminates. Each offers different barrier properties against moisture, light, and oxygen. Your choice should align with your product's shelf life requirements and your brand's sustainability goals.

Key considerations

Key factors include barrier protection, print quality, and sealing method. Heat-sealable laminates are standard for sachets, ensuring airtight closure. Consider whether you need resealable features, tear notches, or child-resistant options. Print can be flexographic or rotogravure, with up to 8 colors plus spot gloss or matte finishes. Also evaluate lead times and minimum order quantities, which vary by complexity and material availability.

Personalisation and packaging

Under the Make it Yours model, you can customize sachet dimensions, material, and print design to match your brand identity. Options include matte or gloss finishes, metallic effects, and custom shapes like round or stick packs. You can also add your logo, product name, and nutritional information. DAT Supply works with you to finalize artwork and specifications, ensuring the packaging meets your vision and functional needs.

Documentation scope

You will receive a packaging specification sheet detailing material composition, dimensions, seal strength, and print registration. If required, DAT Supply can provide a certificate of compliance for food-contact materials. However, final label claims and regulatory compliance for your target market remain your responsibility.
