Kompostierbare Stick Packs in Beuteln
Sustainability targets are accelerating across pharma, nutraceuticals, and specialty powders. In single-dose packaging, one challenge stands out. Compostable materials must deliver protection and process reliability.
Universal Pack has processed compostable laminates for years. Ongoing testing verifies efficiency on high speed equipment. The same work confirms functional performance for demanding products.
Compostable film packaging challenge for powders
A recent trial validated compostable laminate film on micro-nutrient powders (MNPs). Barrier performance plays a critical role in this application. MNPs are hygroscopic and often include active ingredients such as vitamins and minerals. Packaging must protect the product from moisture and oxygen to support stability and shelf life.
The trial used a dedicated coating developed by SAES Coated Films. The coating enhanced oxygen and water vapor barrier properties in compostable flexible packaging. The resulting film then ran successfully on Universal Pack machines.
Materials compatibility and a sustainability driven engineering approach
Complete packaging lines process standard heat-sealable composite films. They also run sustainable laminates such as PP, PLA, paper (PAP), Bio-PE, and other materials on request.
This capability follows a clear engineering approach. It reduces waste, saves material where possible, and supports the move toward lower-impact packaging. Performance standards remain aligned with product and market requirements.
Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) supports environmental measurement. It also helps identify reduction opportunities across the machinery production process.
Test your compostable laminate on our lines
Compostable structures for stick packs require real validation. Testing must confirm barrier properties, sealing performance, process stability, and output.
Universal Pack supports dedicated trials and engineered solutions. An in house lab validates sustainable laminates under realistic operating conditions. Test results then translate into reliable packaging configurations.
