With the development of catering and fast-food restaurants, portioned packaging becomes widespread and significant. Less and less often you can find a full-fledged sugar bowl, hodgepodge, or pepper pot. Most eateries, cafes, bistros, and fast foods have already entered the era of sticks and sachets.
Portion packaging has become so popular that even large retail chains are actively promoting sugar, salt, pepper, spices, sauces, mayonnaises in disposable packages. And it’s not so much about consumer care. The point is the implementation of the well-known joke that the potato chips business is the ability to sell one potato for the price of a kilogram. The sale of products in single packaging is very beneficial for retail chains, and the buyer benefits from the convenience of storing and using the most popular products. As a result, the demand for portioned packaging is growing.
The most widespread two types of single-use packaging are stick and sachet. A stick is a three-side seal package in the form of a tube, which has one vertical seam (it is also called a back seam) and two horizontal seams (upper and lower). A sachet is a rectangular or square bag with three or four perimeter seams.
