Designing the right format means improving productivity, sustainability and the final user experience at the same time.
The challenge
A few weeks ago, we successfully completed the FAT of a complete packaging line designed for sports nutrition products, including protein and supplement mixes.
The goal of the project was to develop a flexible and precise packaging solution while optimizing material consumption.
For this specific application, the sachet content varied in both quantity and composition: not only capsules and tablets, but also gel formulations, which require extra attention to avoid product dispersion during handling.
The customer requested different sachet sizes depending on the product count, ranging from 4 to 9 units per pouch.
Another key requirement was to make each pouch as compact as possible in order to optimize film consumption and achieve a double advantage:
The solution
A 4-side sealed sachet packaging solution was implemented, including several process optimizations:
Added value
Beyond production efficiency, the project also introduced a more sustainable packaging approach:
