Sachet Packaging Machines for Powders, Liquids & Granules

A sachet packaging machine forms a flat sachet from film, fills it with a measured dose of product and seals it. Which machine you need depends first on what you are packing, then on the sachet format, then on the output you want. The sections below follow that order.

We are the LINEVO sachet packaging team. You send us your product and sachet requirements, we recommend a configuration, and the quotation puts the specification in writing.

What are you packing?

The product decides the dosing method, so start there. A machine built for free-flowing sugar is not automatically right for sticky sauce or fine, dusty powder.

• Powders: coffee mixes, milk powder, spices, protein blends. Fine powder can bridge in the hopper, throw dust into the seal area or pack at uneven density, so the dosing method matters. Our powder sachet machines page compares auger and cup dosing.
• Liquids and pastes: sauces, shampoo, honey, creams. Viscosity, stringing and trapped air affect both the dose and the seal. The liquid and paste sachet filling machine page covers this.
• Granules: sugar, salt, seasoning granules and other small free-flowing particles. Particle size and flow decide how even each dose is. See granule sachet packing for the dosing options.

If your product sits between two groups, such as a powder with oil or a paste with particles, say so when you write. Those borderline products are where a trial earns its keep.

Choose your sachet format

This site covers flat sachets, in two common formats: 3-side seal and 4-side seal. A 4-side seal sachet is sealed all the way round, which is why buyers pick it for samples and single-serve products. The 4-side seal sachet machine page explains what that changes in the machine and the film.

Some buyers are really deciding between a flat sachet and a narrow stick pack. The sachet vs stick pack guide compares shape, use and tooling, so settle that before you ask for a quotation.

We do not cover premade stand-up pouches here. The machines on this site form the sachet from roll film.

Select the right configuration

A single-lane machine makes one sachet per cycle. A multi-lane sachet packaging machine makes several side by side in each cycle, so output goes up for small sachets without a faster cycle. How many lanes are practical depends on sachet width, film width, product and dosing system. Decide the sachet size first and the realistic lane count usually follows.

The planning arithmetic is simple: lanes multiplied by cycles per minute gives theoretical sachets per minute, if each lane makes one sachet per cycle. Six lanes at 50 cycles per minute gives 300 in theory. That is arithmetic, not a performance claim. Real output depends on the product, fill amount, film and sachet size. The guide to choosing a sachet packaging machine shows how to work backward from the output you need.

Product applications

Typical sachet projects are sauce and ketchup portions, coffee and drink mixes, sugar and sweetener, and shampoo or lotion samples. Each has its own problem. Oily sauce can foul the seal area, and static makes fine coffee powder cling to the seal jaws. The sachet applications pages go through sauce, coffee, sugar and shampoo one by one.

See the process and test your product

If the equipment is new to you, the guide to how sachet packaging machines work follows the film from the roll to the sealed, cut sachet. If you already know what you want, run your own product and film through a sample test. Dosing, sealing and lane count then rest on your material, and not on a guess about something similar.

Price, selection and support

Price moves with the product and dosing type, the number of lanes, the sachet format, options and delivery terms. We do not publish fixed prices without a configuration behind them. The sachet packaging machine price page explains what drives the cost and what to prepare before you ask. To send details now, message us on WhatsApp.

Questions about sachet packaging machines

What is the difference between a sachet packing machine and a sachet filling machine?

The terms overlap. A sachet filling machine is usually the whole unit that forms, doses, fills and seals. A sachet packing machine can mean the same unit, or just the packing stage of a larger line. When you write to us, give the product, fill amount and sachet size, and we will match the wording to the equipment.

What information do I need to get a recommendation?

The product and its form (powder, liquid, paste or granule), the fill amount per sachet, the sachet format and rough size, the film you plan to use, and your target output. Partial information is enough to start.

Can one machine handle powders and liquids?

Usually not without changing the dosing system, and the cleaning is different too. If two products need two configurations, we will tell you.

Do you promise a speed or filling accuracy?

No. Both depend on your product, film and sachet, so we do not quote a fixed figure before we have seen them.
