Sachet formats built around your product
Our sachet production service covers small-format flexible packs for liquids, powders, granules and single-serve portions. We work with brands that need a practical pack size, clean artwork placement and sealing that suits the fill product and the way the sachet will be opened in use. That can mean a straight tear nothch, a tear notch with side seal, or a top-open style depending on the application.
We support varied widths and lengths, lane layouts for efficient output, and pack designs that suit retail shelves, sample packs and bulk distribution. For many customers, the main goal is simple: the sachet must print well, seal properly and run through filling without causing stoppages.
- Single-serve sachets and sample packs
- Multiple lane layouts for higher output
- Opening styles matched to the product
- Print placed for clear front face branding
What is included in sachet production
We handle the production stages that sit between approved artwork and finished sachet stock. That includes print setup, material selection support, press running, slitting or lane formation where needed, and pack inspection before dispatch. If your product needs a specific barrier feel, a lighter-weight film, or a matte or gloss finish, we discuss the material build before the job goes live.
Colour matching matters on sachets because the print area is small and even a slight shift stands out. Our team checks ink laydown, text legibility and seal area clearance so the finished pack is practical for filling and sale. For repeat jobs we keep records of the setup so the next run is easier to line up.
- Artwork check and print-ready prep
- Material selection guidance
- Colour checks against approved references
- Seal area and cut line planning
- Inspection before dispatch
How the production process works
The process starts when your enquiry comes through our contact form and our team reviews the pack size, fill type and monthly usage. From there we confirm the likely construction, the opening style and the print layout. If artwork needs adjustment, Jason and the prepress team prepare it for proofing before the job moves into production.
Once proofing is approved, the production team sets the run and monitors registration, colour and seal behaviour during the job. We keep communication practical and direct, so you know what is happening at each stage. If there is a repeat order, we use the stored setup information to save time and keep the next batch aligned.
- Enquiry review and pack brief
- Artwork prep and proofing
- Material and layout confirmation
- Production run and in-line checks
- Final inspection and dispatch coordination
Turnaround, loading and dispatch timing
Turnaround depends on order size, print complexity, material availability and whether the job is a new setup or a repeat production run. Simple repeat sachets usually move faster than jobs that need new artwork adjustments or material changes. We plan dispatch with local traffic, coastal humidity and warehouse receiving hours in mind, especially for customers in Durban, Pinetown and surrounds.
For urgent work, it helps to send the brief early and confirm the fill specification at the same time. That allows us to slot the job into the queue properly rather than reshuffling the line later. Load-shedding can also affect scheduling, so we keep production planning realistic and communicate any timing shifts as soon as they are known.
- Repeat runs are generally quicker than first-time setups
- Proof approval can affect the start date
- Dispatch is coordinated to suit destination and receiving times
- Volume and format choice influence line speed
Pricing that follows the job, not guesswork
Sachet pricing is based on the actual production factors in front of us. Those include pack size, number of colours, artwork complexity, film or laminate choice, run length and the amount of handling needed after print. If the order is a short run, the unit cost can be higher than a larger repeat order because setup time is spread across fewer packs.
We do not quote blindly. Instead, we look at the details that affect wastage, press time and finishing effort, then price the job accordingly. For clients who need regular supply, we can discuss repeat production planning so orders are easier to budget for over time.
- Pack dimensions and lane count
- Print colours and artwork changes
- Run length and repeat frequency
- Material build and finishing needs
- Dispatch destination across South Africa
Keeping production lines ready for repeat orders
Sachet work runs best when the production line is checked at regular intervals. We follow sensible maintenance intervals on the equipment used for printing, sealing and handling so output stays consistent. Daily checks cover the basics, such as registration, tension and sealing performance, while weekly and scheduled servicing help avoid unnecessary stoppages.
For customers placing repeat orders, this matters because the same sachet can behave differently if the line is not set up properly. We keep an eye on wear points, clean contact areas and make sure the production setup is ready before the next batch starts. It keeps the process orderly and reduces the risk of rework, which saves time and cost.
- Daily operational checks before running
- Weekly inspection of seals and moving parts
- Scheduled servicing for print and finishing equipment
- Setup records kept for repeat production
