Question 1

What is a stick pack?

Accepted Answer

A stick pack is a narrow, tube-shaped single-serve pouch with a back seam seal, also called a stick pouch or powder stick. It uses less material than a rectangular sachet and slips easily into a pocket or bag, which makes it the go-to for powdered drink mixes, electrolytes, collagen, protein, probiotics, supplements, and sweeteners. Both powders and liquids work in a stick pack.

Question 2

Stick pack or flat pouch (3-side seal): which should I use?

Accepted Answer

Choose a stick pack for free-flowing powders and liquids in a single serve, like drink mixes, electrolytes, and supplements, where the slim, pour-friendly tube is the point and you want a premium single-dose feel. Choose a flat pouch, the three-side seal sachet, for wider or flatter contents like creams, masks, wipes, and sample sachets, and when you want two full panels for branding. Stick packs also use roughly 10 to 40 percent less film than an equivalent rectangular pouch, so they can lower material cost at volume.

Question 3

How do I choose the right material for my stick pack?

Accepted Answer

Start with what matters most. Classic is a metallized film with the strongest moisture and oxygen barrier, the safe pick for sensitive or premium powders. For the most demanding contents, turn on High Barrier, which adds an aluminum foil layer for even stronger protection. Choose Recyclable if a recycling-friendly direction matters to your brand: a mono-material PE film with an EVOH barrier, designed for the PE recycling stream. Choose Compostable if sustainability storytelling matters most: kraft and PLA for products with lighter protection needs.

Question 4

What sizes do stick packs come in?

Accepted Answer

Stick packs come in narrow standard sizes built for single servings, such as 1.6 x 5 inches, and you can set a fully custom size for your exact fill (in inches or millimeters). We fully customize dimensions, so build your size in the 3D quote tool and see the price instantly.

Question 5

Matte, gloss, or soft touch: what lamination can I add?

Accepted Answer

All three. Matte gives a smooth, low-glare finish, Gloss gives a shiny, vibrant finish, and Soft Touch Film gives a velvety, premium feel. Lamination sets the surface look and feel of the finished stick.

Question 6

What's the minimum order for custom stick packs?

Accepted Answer

100 units. That's low enough for a first launch or market test, with wholesale and bulk pricing as you scale. The unit cost drops at each quantity tier as you build your order.

Question 7

How much do custom stick packs cost?

Accepted Answer

Price depends on size, order quantity, format (pre-made or roll film), material and barrier level, lamination, finishing effects, a tear notch, and shipping. Larger quantities lower the unit cost, while High Barrier and added finishes raise it. The 3D quote tool updates your landed price live as you build, so there are no surprises.

Question 8

How long do custom stick packs take to make and ship?

Accepted Answer

Production takes 7 to 12 business days after proof approval. Shipping then depends on your tier: Express is fastest at about a week, with Priority, Standard, and Economy at lower cost and longer transit. Exact timelines show as you build your order.
