How to Get the Right Stick Pack for Your Needs

Choosing the right stick film roll involves several practical considerations:

  • Barrier Requirements: Powders like collagen need high oxygen barriers (PET/AL/PE), while sugar may use OPP/PE.
  • Filling Machine Fit: Confirm unwind direction, roll width, and sealing type compatibility.
  • Sustainability Focus: For eco products, go with PLA-coated paper or recyclable PE-based film.
  • Product Format: Match roll stiffness and thickness with liquid vs. dry filling needs.
