Packaging Machines for Tea & Infusions

Universal Pack has been designing stick pack and sachet packaging machines and cartoning lines for tea & infusions for more than 50 years. Our solutions guarantee high-speed production and high performance in terms of accuracy and maximum output capacity per minute.

To fulfill these needs, we provide your machine with the dedicated basculating dosing system. Another characteristic of our tea machines lies in the possibility to produce rounded sachets, according to your needs. Moreover, we designed bag in bag sealing block to pack multiple sachets in a single sachet.

Our machines can dose products such as black and green tea, chamomile, classic infusions, infusion tea, rooibos tea and tisanes.

Our internal laboratory analyzes your tea or infusion blend and laminate, to design and build the best solution for your need. After several internal tests and a thorough design review, your customized machine can be manufactured.

Which formats are suitable for packaging tea & infusions?

Our machines and lines are specifically-dedicated to single-dose packages like stick packs and sachets. For example, we can dose from 0,1 up to 100 gr of tea and infusions granules in a single pack, whose dimensions vary depending on your marketing goals, nature of the products and production requirements.

In packaging lines for cartoning, our systems allow you to put from 1 up to 100 or more sachets or stick packs in the same carton. We have developed patented counting units for any amount of packages to be picked and put into cartons. In recent years, our philosophy is to save as much material and product as possible, both for economic and environmental sustainability.

Which laminates are suitable for packaging tea & infusions?

Universal Pack packaging machines for tea and infusions can process all typical heat-sealable composite films, for example: PAP-PE (paper – polyethene); PAP-ALU-PE (paper – aluminum – polyethylene); PET-ALU-PE (polyethene terephthalate – aluminium – polyethene), filter paper and cold sealable materials. Our machines can also package sustainable laminates such as PP (polypropylene), PLA (polylactic acid), PAP (paper), Bio-PE (bio-based polyethene), and more on request.
