Nobody ever really pays much attention to sachets – you know, those small packets that might contain a portion of ketchup, sugar for your tea, salt, and other condiments – however, they have become a very important part of many companies’ business operations and so it would be worthwhile to learn about them and especially their filling process.
Throughout this article you’ll learn exactly why sachets are so important in the world of business and in life, how the development and filling process really takes place, and how you can find a reliable supplier to get you started.
Why Are Sachets so Important?
Sachets are so important for several reasons. They have become an integral part of business operations and our day-to-day lives in general. If you think about it, the majority of us most probably use sachets every day without realizing.
One of the primary benefits is the accessibility of the sachets i.e. they are created to be just the right size and fit for the product that is being packaged. This ultimately results in a reduced amount of waste, more available storage space, reduced costs, and a lot more.
The Development (and Filling) Process
Sachets come in all different shapes and sizes but the most common material that is used is plastic. This type of packaging is composed of two sheets of plastic being pressed together on all four ends – which inevitably “seals” the contents inside the sachet until more pressure is applied to open it. Large industrial machines are often used in this process, it’s quite easy to understand their operation. As the two sheets of plastic (as well as the contents) are passing through the machine, the necessary amount of pressure is applied at the ends of the plastic sheets and therefore they become sealed along with the contents.
If you deal with a sachet manufacturing company then chances are that they will also offer printing (on the sachets). If so, it would be worthwhile to take advantage of this as it has great benefits with regards to customer retention, sales, and marketing overall.
Finding a Reliable Supplier
Now that you understand the role sachets play in the world of business, how exactly they can be beneficial, and the development process – you’re probably now thinking about how you can find the right supplier to produce sachets for you. This isn’t a well-known industry, so some frustration is understandable. However, there are still some universal principles that hold true.
First and foremost, look at the services that the company are offering. If you need them to handle printing then you should ask them if they offer this service. If you only plan on ordering a relatively low amount then it would be best to ask them if they have a minimum order quantity. Try to ask as many questions as you can so you can be sure that you have chosen the right person that fits your requirements.
In addition to the above, make sure that you receive a sample from the production company before placing any large orders. This will allow you to get a proper look at the product that is being produced. Don’t forget about the quality of the sachet, it will be holding your product so it needs to do the job right and safely hold your product.
