Sachet/4-Side seal

Supported by IMA Group’s advanced Vertical Form, Fill and Seal (VFFS) technologies, this adaptable pack style seamlessly bridges multiple industries. In the pharma and personal care sectors, sachets ensure strict hygiene, precise dosing, and excellent barrier protection for sensitive ingredients. Simultaneously, in the food and beverage industry, they provide the perfect single dose format for items like dressings, sauces, coffee, and solubles, combining high production efficiency with maximum convenience. 

Sachets are widely used in pharmaceutical packaging for single-dose and unit-dose applications, offering a practical format for products that need to be dispensed in controlled quantities and protected until use. They can accommodate a broad range of pharmaceutical formulations, including liquids, gels, creams, and powders, with the format adapted to the characteristics of the product. 
The compact, individually sealed format helps protect the contents from external contamination and makes sachets particularly suitable for products intended for on-the-go use or treatments requiring individual doses. Depending on the application, sachets can also incorporate dedicated features to facilitate opening and product dispensing, while maintaining the required level of product protection. 
IMA technologies support a wide range of pharmaceutical sachet configurations, allowing the pack to be adapted to different products, doses, materials and opening requirements, from simple single-dose formats to more specialised applications. 

In the food industry, the sachet is the perfect packaging format for delivering easy- to-use, pre-portioned products. Highly suited for a variety of everyday condiments such as ketchup, mayonnaise, dressings, and sauces this pack style offers maximum convenience and portability for the consumer. To guarantee strict food safety and preserve product integrity, the filling machines for these sachets are engineered to meet rigorous sanitary standards. They can be configured up to an ultra-clean hygiene class, utilizing advanced technologies like UV-C sterilization paired with a sterile air flow unit to ensure a safe and highly efficient packaging process. 

In Personal Care, sachets provide a convenient single-use packaging format for a broad variety of products, from creams, lotions and gels to shampoos, conditioners, masks and other cosmetic formulations. Their compact size makes them particularly suitable for travel, hospitality, sampling and trial applications, while individual doses help provide a convenient and controlled amount of product for each use. 
Sachets can be developed in different sizes, shapes, and configurations according to the product and desired consumer experience. Features such as easy-open solutions, zips or integrated caps can further enhance convenience and functionality, particularly for products intended for repeated use. 
IMA technologies can support Personal Care sachets across a wide range of formulations, formats and packaging requirements, helping brands combine product protection and convenient use with the visual and functional characteristics required for the final consumer. 

Sachets are particularly suited to packaging individual tissue and nonwoven products, providing a compact and hygienic format that keeps the item protected until use. This format is widely used for cosmetic masks, wipes and other pre-cut or single-use nonwoven items, allowing each product to be individually packaged and conveniently carried. 
The sachet can be designed to accommodate different product sizes, shapes and thicknesses, while providing the barrier properties required to preserve the product and, where relevant, protect active ingredients or formulations applied to the nonwoven material.  
IMA technologies support a wide range of tissue and nonwoven sachet applications, combining product protection, ease of use and presentation in a format suitable for individual and single-use products.
