Sachets
At OPM Group, our unmatched printing expertise allows us to find solutions for difficult products and solve packaging puzzles for our customers. As a leading name in packaging and label prints, our team specialises in those jobs that other printers just can’t handle, handling complicated designs, multi-layered constructions and logistical challenges with ease.
Part of our flexible packaging offering is sachet format packaging, easy to pack for shipping and transportation and able to deliver single-serving products to the consumer.
We currently produce sachet laminate for products such as:
- Liquids – (e.g. water, alcohol)
- Creams & Gels – Used extensively by the cosmetics, personal care and haircare industries, as well as many others. (e.g. shampoo, car polish)
- Pastes (e.g. mud masks, grease)
- Solid Items – (e.g. cards, air fresheners)
- Impregnated Wipes – Sachets containing a fluid dose and accompanying tissue wipes (e.g. hand wipes, VDU wipes, insect repellent)
- Free flowing powders – (e.g. Citric Acid crystals, hygiene products)
- Non-free flow powders – (e.g. French chalk, talcum powder and veterinary powders)
- Granules in sachets – (with a liquid if required)
- Applicators in sachets – Gaining increasing usage and popularity in the medical sector (swab-sticks, patches etc.)
Generally, the higher the batch quantity, the lower the cost per unit becomes. Lead times depend upon the type of materials required; some high-quality laminates can take several weeks to procure. Typically, however, we require about 2-3 weeks to produce a new sachet from receiving the artwork. If the laminate is a re-run of a previous job, we can normally produce within a week of receiving your order.
Sachet laminates available from OPM Group have a number of key advantages for brands and packaging designers, including appealing design and enhanced graphic presentation through flexographic printing, long product shelf life, high puncture resistance when the product contains particulates, sterilisability, simple handling and easy opening, alongside low weight, which means little waste.
Sachets are fast becoming a popular choice for brands, especially when it comes to medical, cosmetic and household products. The distinct advantage is that each individual sachet provides the consumer with a new, clean and fresh product each time boosting hygiene and safety.
With sachets, it’s all about promoting and supplying your products in convenient, distinctive and affordable portions. This single-serving approach also encourages brand continuity and visual repetition, making them ideal for samples.
