Small size, big market: Stickpack Packaging for Sugar For airlines, food chains and the hospitality industry, stick packaging seems to be leaving conventional packaging behind. Markets & Markets has recently predicted a market worth of $316.61 million by 2020, growing at a CAGR of 6.26% during the review period. On a global scale, sticks are replacing sachets as they use up to 40% less film than rectangular sachets, which translates into significant per-unit savings. They offer ease of use by controlled opening and dispensing without spillage, and since the stick pack is smaller, the carbon footprint is lesser compared to other forms of packaging. The small size also means that stick pack equipment tends to run at higher production speeds than sachet making equipment. On restaurant tables, vending machines or hotel rooms, those small pouches of sugar, coffee & dairy whitener are just waiting to be torn open and poured into your cup! Order a soup or pizza at your local café, and you’re sure to get those skinny pouches of salt, pepper and seasonings. Stick packs offer unmatched convenience, hygiene and economy. They’re easy to store, dispense and carry; they provide serving accuracy and reduce wastage.
