Sachet packing machines are high-speed, precision systems designed specifically for producing small, single-serve portion packs. Typically operating as multi-lane Vertical Form Fill Seal (VFFS) machines, they are built for high-output, reliable production of 3-side or 4-side seal packets.
These machines are the essential solution for the food, pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and chemical industries. They are used to create the familiar single-use “flat-packs” for a vast range of products, including liquids (ketchup, shampoo), powders (coffee, sugar), and granules (salt, spices).
By integrating high-accuracy dosing systems with multi-lane output, these machines provide an incredibly efficient and cost-effective way to package products for sampling, travel, and food service.
Sachet machines are the definitive solution for high-volume, single-dose packaging, offering unmatched efficiency and portion control.

The machine is designed with multiple parallel forming tubes and dosing systems (e.g., 4, 8, or 12 lanes), allowing it to form, fill, and seal several sachets simultaneously in one machine cycle.
Each lane is paired with a dedicated, high-accuracy filler. This can be a Liquid Piston Pump (for sauces, gels, shampoo), an Auger Filler (for powders like coffee), or a Volumetric Cup Filler (for granules like sugar or salt).
Unlike the single "fin seal" of a pillow bag, sachet machines use a dedicated jaw set that seals all three or four edges of the pack, creating the classic, flat, and robust sachet format.
A specialised cutting device is integrated with the horizontal sealing jaws to automatically add a small 'tear notch' or perforation to each sachet, making it easy for the consumer to open.
Equipped with photocell sensors that read 'eye marks' on pre-printed film. This ensures that all branding, text, and graphics are perfectly centred and aligned on every individual sachet produced across all lanes.
Sachet
A system that produces multiple portion packs simultaneously across several parallel lanes to increase output.
Yes, by using lane-specific dosing systems like piston pumps for sauces or augers for powders.
A sachet is typically sealed on 3 or 4 sides and is flat, whereas a pillow bag has a back fin seal.
Machines usually feature an integrated tear notch or zig-zag cutter for easy opening by the consumer.
Modern systems use high-precision fillers to ensure giveaway is kept to an absolute minimum.
