Stick Pack Film Laminations
Stick packs are ideal for today’s on-the-go consumers and provide material savings compared to other packaging options. Glenroy supplies stick pack film laminations for several leading brands of drink mixes and dietary supplements.
Streamlined, Single-Serve Packaging for Busy Consumers
Stick packs (or stick pouches) provide a convenient, single serving, portable package for today’s on-the-go consumers.
Travel-friendly stick packs are ideal for many products, such as powdered drink mixes, sweeteners, vitamins, and nutritionals. This popular packaging format requires 10% to 40% less flexible packaging material than equivalent rectangular pouches—making it a smart packaging solution for brands looking to meet consumer demand while reducing costs.
