With billions of tons of waste being dumped worldwide every year, society is becoming increasingly environmentally conscious, from more sustainable materials to recycling shopping bags. However, it is easier said than done to choose a packaging material with the least impact.

Consumers have started to realize that sustainability and ecological production are indispensable for the future and as a result, more companies today are trying to manufacture and package their products in a sustainable and environmentally friendly way. A good example of this is nutraceutical stick packs.

Some stick pack manufacturers nowadays use Bioplastics in the manufacturing of stick packs, and because they are made from natural plant sources, these pouches are considered eco-friendly. Stick packs that are made with Bioplastics are completely biological and degradable, which consequently makes it a popular choice among environmentally conscious consumers.

A stick pack is a cylindrical-shaped pouch that is made of either paper or flexible plastic (such as Bioplastics), and some like coffee stick packs are lined with a special film ...
... for optimal protection of the ingredients. A stick pack also contains its branding and is sealed on both sides after being filled. They also require between ten and 40 % less packaging material than equivalent rectangular or square pouches.

Stick packs are being used for a myriad of products from sports powders to energy drink mixes, coffee, nutritional products, sugars, and sweeteners and provide an easy to dispose of, single-serve, portable package for on-the-go consumers. These pouches are used in many different applications due to their extended shelf life, the convenience of use, and portability.

By now, we are all aware of the fact that packaging has become the growth engine for nutraceutical sales, and the convenient little stick pack is an increasingly successful format, due to its practicality. The rise in demand for stick packaging for single-serve in nutraceuticals can also be attributed to consumers' need for convenience, however, the technical and legal requirements for stick pack manufacturing are extremely complex, especially in countries such as the USA.

The process of packaging, as well as the contents of the pouch, must comply with FDA regulations before it can be made available to the public. The product inside must be fully protected by the packaging from external influences such as moisture and UV radiation, while it also prevents contaminants from penetrating the stick pack. Furthermore, the stick pack must be strong and durable so that it can handle distribution and transportation.

Of course, the humble old stick pack which is ubiquitously present in our normal lives also has several benefits to those who are looking to bring their brand to the market for the first time. Stick packs also offer the perfect solution for entrepreneurs and companies to use in their marketing strategies.

Besides product content, smart branding and design are two the most important aspects you should consider when it comes to sticking pack manufacturing. Consumers buy with their eyes and if your stick pack does not possess aesthetic and alluring properties, chances are good that it will simply dissipate among the masses. Invest in eye-catching branding that will make your product stand out in the crowd.

Stick packs (of which some come with easy-tear notches) are designed to hold almost anything from granular powders to liquids and gels and are often introduced as promotional items at the launch of a new product or brand. More recently, the nimble stick pack has also started to make a positive contribution to the cosmetic and pharmaceutical industries.

The benefits of a stick pack are legion, and it provides the perfect opportunity for any person to bring their product or brand to market, and market it successfully.
