Salt stick packs and sachets prioritize convenience and portion control. They are popular in restaurants, travel, schools, and on-the-go, they offer easy seasoning and manageable sodium intake.

The challenges of packaging salt in stick packs and sachets

While seemingly convenient, packaging salt in stick packs and sachets presents several challenges beyond those of dry seasonings:

Moisture Menace: Like other seasonings, moisture remains the enemy, attracting unwanted clumping and dulling flavor. Robust seals and high-barrier materials are crucial, impacting cost and design complexity.

Clumping Conundrum: Salt’s hygroscopic nature makes it incredibly prone to clumping, leading to inconsistent dispensing and gritty texture. Anti-caking agents can help, but may alter taste or introduce undesirable ingredients.

Dosing Dilemmas: Achieving precise amounts is crucial for salt, as even slight variations can dramatically alter flavor. Sophisticated filling machinery and meticulous quality control are essential, raising production costs.

Beyond the Technical: Iodine, often added to table salt, is sensitive to light and heat, further complicating material and design choices for optimal freshness.

Despite those challenges, single-serve salt stick packs and sachets persist in popularity. Their undeniable convenience – eliminating bulky shakers, spills, and offering perfect portions for on-the-go needs – combined with the ability to manage sodium intake and explore flavorful varieties, make them an attractive option.
