Stevia stick pack and sachet packaging machines and solutions

Universal Pack offers a comprehensive range of stevia stick pack and sachet packaging machines and cartoning lines.

Stevia, a natural sweetener derived from a plant, is a popular option for those seeking sugar alternatives. Single-dose packages are easy to carry and use, ensure product freshness and accurate dosing.

The challenges of packaging stevia in stick packs and sachets

Stick packs and sachets offer the undeniable benefits of convenience and dosing control, but their production comes with its own set of challenges.

Potency: Stevia is naturally much sweeter than sugar. Packaging the right amount of stevia powder into a single-dose package to achieve the desired sweetness level is a challenge.

Dissolving dilemma: Complete dissolution is crucial to deliver its sweetness. Designing a stick pack or sachet that allows the stevia powder to dissolve quickly and evenly in cold beverages can be difficult.

Material: Finding the right packaging material is a balancing act. The material needs to be strong enough to withstand potential punctures or tears during transport and handling. However, it should also be heat-resistant in case you want to add stevia to hot beverages.

Machinery: Filling packages with very fine stevia powder requires specialized machinery that can handle the powder accurately and efficiently. Leakage during the filling process creates a mess and compromises the sweetness potential of the packet.

Despite the challenges, single-dose stevia packages offer a potentially convenient, hygienic, and portion-controlled way to manage sweetness in your beverages. While technical hurdles exist, the advantages for on-the-go use, waste reduction, and user preference make them an interesting innovation in the sugar substitute market.
