As they are cheaper than large size packets, sachets are generally used either for promotional trial packs or to cater to low-income or price-sensitive customers who prefer economical packs.

As per market reports, the Asia-Pacific region is expected to witness an increase in the use of sachet packing in a wide gamut of industries. Due to its low cost, recyclability, customizability and portability, sachet packaging is gaining immense traction across various end-users in the food & beverages, lubricants & solvents, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics and personal care industries.

Rapidly emerging trends such as ‘single-serve/single-dose packaging’ and ‘buying less, more often’ among customers for products such as shampoo, oil, tea, coffee, cream, and others are expected to create lucrative sales opportunities for market players.

Flexible packaging accounts for 19 percent of the overall packaging market and is expected to grow at a rate of 3.9 percent CAGR by 2023, according to the 2019 Flexible Packaging Marketing Assessment by PMMI, The Association for Packaging and Processing Technologies. Convenient packaging, excellent barrier properties, sustainable materials and growing customer base for fast-moving consumer products and consumer durables in emerging countries are driving this expansion.

Especially for food manufacturers and even pharmaceutical and cosmetic product manufacturers, flexible packaging is emerging as the preferred choice. Here are some of the reasons why:

• Convenient – fulfils consumer demand for portability
• Cost-efficient – low cost per package
• Lightweight – low storage & distribution costs
• Safer distribution – less risk of breakage and injury
• Eco friendly – small carbon footprint
• Customisable – can be moulded into varieties of shapes & sizes
• Brand building – more surface for graphics & messaging; scope for creative concepts

AUTOMATIC FLEXIBLE PACKAGING MACHINES

Automatic flexible packaging machines can be divided into 2 broad categories:

Form-Fill-Seal: FFS machines are the most widely used flexible packaging type. As the name suggest, the machine forms bags, fills them with the product, and seals the filled bag. Some FFS machines work vertically(vertical-form-fill-seal or VFFS) and some perform the process horizontally (horizontal-form-fill-seal or HFFS). VFFS are the more popular type as they occupy limited floor space and usually cost less than HFFS machines.

For industries that need to package their products (e.g. condiments, drink mixes, sugar, etc.) in small packets, multi lane machines are extremely popular. Used popularly as sugar sachet packaging machine or ketchup packaging machine, these form-fill-seal machines create multiple packages via multiple channels simultaneously.

Fill-Seal:These machines are growing in demand. The machine fills pre-made pouches with product and then seals the pouches shut.Some of these premade pouch filling machines operate in a rotary fashion and others in a straight line. Rotary machines offer better ergonomics for operators, and occupy less floor space.
