2. GROWING POPULARITY OF SMALL PACKS Across the globe, convenience and the on-the-go culture is driving packaging miniaturization. In developed countries, consumers are happy to pay for products that make their hectic, mobile life easier. In emerging economies however, smaller SKUs such as sachets are in demand because they are more affordable than family-size packs. They also induce trial and are therefore the preferred format for FMCG and pharma manufacturers who seek to expand their market into semi-urban and rural areas. Hence, small, individual packages are growing globally.

3. ABOUT SACHETS AND STICK PACKS Sachets are small packs, made by sealing flexible packaging material, on three or four sides. Sachets are generally flat as opposed to stick packs which have a round or oval cross section. Stick packs look like tubes or sticks, and are made by sealing a narrow, tube-like packaging, with a continuous side seam, at both ends. Sachets are used in the cosmetics industry for packaging of single-use quantities of consumer goods such as lotions or shampoos. Both sachets and stick packs are used in the food industry for packaging small amounts of salt, condiments, sugar, mayonnaise, mustard, ketchup, candies, coffee, dairy whitener, chocolates and much more. In the pharma industry, both formats are used for small powdered doses such as probiotics, ORS, vitamin D, wet wipes, tablets, lozenges, etc. The hospitality industry relies on stick packs and sachets, where items such as sugar, milk, coffee creamers, drink mixes, dressings and ketchup are all packaged in these single-serve format Compared to stick packs, sachets offer a larger surface area and can be designed in creative shapes to score on branding and point-of-sale appeal
