Format Decision
Sauce Pouch vs Sachet vs Roll Stock: Which Format Fits?
Choose the format around the filling line, dose, viscosity, particulate size, dispensing task, and whether the pack must reclose. Viscosity alone does not determine the pack: fill temperature, seal-area contamination, line setup, fitment welding, barrier target, and distribution conditions also shape the decision.
Choose spout pouch when a multi-use or larger-fill sauce pouch needs controlled dispensing and reclosure. Confirm viscosity, particulate size, fitment inner diameter, spout position, cap style, filling temperature, fitment welding, and dispensing checks.
Choose sachet when single-serve condiment packaging needs portion control without reclosure. Confirm dose, sachet dimensions, tear notch, seal width, product movement near the seal, and the multi-lane or VFFS/HFFS setup.
Best considered when the buyer uses a premade-pouch filler or needs a retail pouch without a spout. Confirm fill opening, final-seal area, pouch stiffness, zipper or tear-open choice, fill weight, headspace, and handling after filling.
Choose roll stock film when the buyer runs flow-wrap, VFFS, HFFS, or other roll-fed equipment that forms and seals the pack from printed film. Confirm web width, repeat length, unwind direction, eye mark, core, roll diameter, sealant window, line speed, and trial-roll requirements.
