Beyond Pouches: Expanding the Possibilities with SunDance Packaging
When it comes to flexible packaging, pouches are versatile, eye-catching, and highly functional… and we love to print and manufacture them! But at SunDance our materials, printing technology, and converting expertise allow us to offer a wide range of packaging formats designed to meet diverse product needs, industries, and consumer experiences. Going straight for a pouch may bypass other good packaging options.
Roll Stock
For high-volume operations roll stock is often the most efficient packaging solution. Instead of pre-formed packaging, roll stock is supplied as a continuous roll of printed film that can be fed directly into form-fill-seal (FFS) machines.
This format is ideal for brands looking to
- Maximize production speed
- Reduce material waste
- Lower shipping and storage costs
Roll stock is commonly used in food, beverage, nutraceutical, and personal care industries—think snack bars, frozen foods, powders, and more. With SunDance’s high-quality printing, brands don’t have to sacrifice shelf appeal for efficiency.
Sachets
Sachets are perfect for single-use applications, sampling programs, and travel-sized products. These compact packets are widely used for
- Skincare and beauty products
- Condiments and sauces
- Nutritional supplements
- Pharmaceuticals
Sachets offer a cost-effective way to introduce new products to consumers or provide convenient, portion-controlled packaging. With SunDance, you can ensure that even your smallest format delivers strong branding and consistent quality.
Stick Packs
Similar to sachets but more streamlined, stick packs are narrow, elongated packets designed for easy pouring and use on the go. They’ve become increasingly popular in markets like
- Drink mixes and flavor enhancers
- Protein powders and supplements
- Coffee and tea
- Health and wellness products
Stick packs are not only consumer-friendly but also highly efficient for production and distribution. Their slim profile reduces material usage and allows for compact packaging configurations, ideal for both retail and e-commerce.
More Applications
SunDance materials can be engineered for a variety of additional uses. Depending on your product and goals, we can produce
- Lidding films for trays and containers
- Flow wrap for bars, snacks, and baked goods
- Bar wrappers for chocolate
- …and more!
Our team works closely with clients to match the right material structure, barrier properties, and print capabilities to the specific application because while we are a one-stop shop, packaging is never one-size-fits-all.
Why It Matters
Choosing the right packaging format is a strategic production decision. The format you select affects
- Consumer convenience
- Brand perception
- Supply chain efficiency
- Sustainability goals
By expanding beyond pouches, brands can unlock new opportunities to differentiate, optimize costs, and better serve their customers.
