Sachet packing machine guide: powder, liquid and granule sachets

How sachet packing machines make 3- and 4-side seal sachets from roll film for powders, granules, liquids and sauces; single-dose and unit-dose packaging options.

Short answer: A sachet packing machine is a small vertical form fill seal machine that makes flat 3- or 4-side seal sachets from roll film, doses a single portion — powder by auger or cup, granules by cup, liquids and sauces by pump — then seals and cuts each sachet. It is used for single-dose sauces, honey, shampoo, detergent, sugar, coffee and supplements.

Single-lane or multi-lane?

Single-lane machines are compact (around 0.8 × 0.7 m) and flexible. Multi-lane machines make 4–12 sachets per cycle for high-volume sugar, coffee or sauce portions.

Film and seal quality

Laminated films (for example PET/PE, PET/AL/PE) are common. Liquids need clean seal areas; pumps with suck-back nozzles stop drips so the seal is not contaminated. Ask for leak-test samples.
