What are the challenges of packing white sugar in stick packs and sachets?

White sugar presents unique challenges when packed in stick packs and sachets. Maintaining its distinct character requires careful consideration.

Moisture: Unlike brown sugar, white sugar thrives on dryness. Any hint of moisture leads to clumping. Robust seals and high-barrier materials become crucial, impacting cost and design complexity.

Flow: While free-flowing sugar might seem ideal, fine granules can easily become dust-like, creating challenges in filling equipment and potentially leading to messy spills. Finding the right balance between particle size and flowability is key.

Purity: White sugar’s appeal lies in its clean taste. However, exposure to light, heat, or even certain packaging materials can introduce subtle off-flavors. Careful material selection, storage recommendations, and potentially light-blocking features might be necessary to protect its purity.

Despite these challenges, the convenience factor of white sugar in stick packs and sachets holds strong.

Also, they are ideal for on-the-go sweetness or portion control. Pre-measured doses ensure consistent results, reducing the risk of over-sweetening.
