Universal Pack packaging lines for sachets in cartons are developed and built in-house for your high production and reliability needs.
Universal Pack has been designing and building customized automatic packaging lines for sachets in cartons for more than 60 years.
Our primary packaging machine for sachets feeds our patented counting and stacking unit, which is totally customizable. Then, this unit transfers the sachets to the secondary packaging machine or even directly inserts them into the carton in case of top loading with flat blanks. With pre-glued cartons, the cartoning machine provides for side loading. Our secondary packaging machines insert the leaflet and close the cartons before their exit. In addition to that, we design specifically-dedicated systems for on edge placement and multi-level cartoning.
We are the single supplier of custom-built packaging lines. We design and develop the best solution to integrate the primary packaging machine with the cartoning machine, in order to guarantee the highest efficiency. Nevertheless, we can integrate in our packaging lines even third-party machinery: this feature enhances the flexibility of our machines and lines.
Our packaging lines are completely integrated and user-friendly. In fact, you need only one operator to manage all the processes of our line.
What is the composition of our packaging lines for sachets in cartons?
All the packaging lines for sachets in cartons designed by Universal Pack include:

Sachet packaging machines
Universal Pack designs and builds customized solutions for primary packaging. Our machines can produce a wide range of sachets for any kind of product.
We can provide your sachet machine with any dosing system, according to your needs and depending on the product characteristics. For this reason, we offer:
- Auger and basculating for powders and granules;
- Gravimetric and flowmeter for liquid or semi-liquid products;
- Piston pump for liquid, semi-liquid or viscous products.
Moreover, we design each sachet machine to guarantee high levels of precision, quality and efficiency.
Counting and stacking unit
Universal Pack patented counting and stacking units are completely customizable. We give you the possibility to pack into cartons as many sachets as you want, in your preferred position. The entire packaging line is flexible, whether in the number of sachets into the carton or their position inside of it.
On request, we can provide our counting and stacking units with a specifically-dedicated patented system to turn “on edge” the sachets. Then, each row of stick packs is transferred into the pockets of the cartoning machine infeed chain.
Moreover, we can provide our on edge placement system with a further patented technology installed in the cartoning unit, which allows you to insert sachets on edge in a two-level box, with or without separator between the two levels.

Pre-glued cartons
Universal Pack provides cartoning machines for pre-glued cartons equipped with a side loading system.
Once the counting and stacking unit transfers the sachets to the cartoning station, they are inserted from the side of the carton in a precise and efficient way.
This solution can be equipped with key accessories such as dynamic or static checkweighers, leaflet insertion systems with presence check, and tamper-evident labeling machines, ensuring a complete and reliable secondary packaging process.
Flat blank cartons
For flat blank cartons, Universal Pack provides cartoning machines designed to erect and close boxes starting from flat blanks.
This solution includes two separate units: one dedicated to carton forming and one dedicated to carton closing with hot-melt glue. The system is equipped with a top loading configuration, allowing the counting and stacking unit to insert the sachets into the cartons from above. As with the pre-glued carton solution, the machine can also be equipped with dynamic or static checkweighers, leaflet insertion systems with presence check, and tamper-evident labeling machines.
