Sachet and stick-pack cartoning applications
A sachet cartoning machine handles secondary packaging after the primary pack has been filled and sealed. Review the finished sachet, target count, group arrangement and carton together. The same product category can contain packs with very different feeding behaviour.
Sugar & seasoning sachets
Account for uneven fill distribution, variable thickness and flexible corners. Agree how each group is formed without catching or damaging seals.
Powder & supplement sticks
Specify count, coding, leaflet and inspection requirements for the actual product. Add any mixed flavours or format combinations to the review.
Cosmetic sample sachets
Review flat sachets, sample sets and inserted cards as separate configurations. Confirm the sequence and complete-pack criteria for each carton.
Already sealed; ready for a pack review. This page concerns cartoning finished sachets and stick packs. Primary filling/sealing, display trays, shipping cases and different carton styles should be named separately in the requested line scope.
The group is the product being loaded
Control counting, grouping and transfer
Flexible packs are not simply small rigid products. They can overlap, bridge, turn, swell or snag at their seals. HIJ reviews how the finished sachets arrive and how the approved group can be held through insertion.
Arrival pattern
Show the packer discharge rate, lane count, spacing and orientation. Include normal flow and interruptions in a short production video.
Count per carton
Name each required count and any mixed-product sequence. Define what evidence is needed to confirm carton completeness.
Group arrangement
Specify stack, row or other pack pattern, including orientation. Send a photo of the desired group beside the carton drawing.
Transfer clearance
Review the filled group thickness, pack seals and carton opening. Confirm guides, loading force and the response to an incomplete group.
Agree every handoff
01 02 03 04
From sealed sachet flow to a checked carton
The proposed line must keep the pack group and carton in sequence. Ask for the product route, controls and incomplete-pack response as part of the configuration.
Receive & separate
Transfer finished packs from the primary packer or the agreed feed arrangement. Establish orientation, spacing and product ownership.
Count & form a group
Arrange the required quantity in the approved pattern. Specify checks for missing, overlapping or incorrectly presented packs.
Open & load the carton
Erect the approved blank and transfer the group with any specified insert. Check seal clearance, compression and loading damage.
Close, inspect & discharge
Apply the agreed closure and code scope. Define carton completeness, rejected-pack handling and the downstream handoff.
A useful check before machine selection
Convert sachets/min into cartons/min
A fast cartoner cannot fill cartons that the upstream sachet flow cannot supply. Divide the accepted pack supply by the number of sachets per carton. This quantity balance screens the project; it does not prove feeder or cartoner performance.
Planning example shown. Replace these inputs with your accepted upstream rate, carton count and output target.
Carton supply limit before cartoning losses40cartons/min from the entered sachet flow
Minimum sachet supply for the entered target1,000sachets/min before cartoning losses
800 sachets/min ÷ 20 sachets/carton = 40 cartons/min.
The calculation excludes cartoner stops, damaged or rejected groups, format changes and other downstream losses. Confirm sustained good output with an agreed sample run; do not use this result as a machine-speed guarantee.
HIJ equipment reference data
GENERAL AUTOMATIC CARTONER
CONTINUOUS HIGH-SPEED CARTONER
Compare cartoners for a defined sachet project
Start with the carton envelope and required accepted output, then select the feeder and grouping scope for your pack. The figures below describe the listed base machines; final sachet suitability and line output must be confirmed for the complete configuration.
WZTS-130
Review this machine for a defined product presentation, carton and insert set. Sachet feeding and group transfer belong in the project configuration.
30–80 reference cartons/min
- Carton dimensions, L × W × H
- 70–200 × 30–150 × 13–70 mm
- Carton board reference
- 300–350 g/m²
- Sachet selection focus
- Count, group thickness and insertion path
ZH-200
Review this machine when supply, grouping and carton handling can sustain the agreed higher-output duty. A high reference speed does not remove infeed constraints.
80–200 reference cartons/min
- Carton dimensions, L × W × H
- 75–200 × 25–80 × 15–60 mm
- Carton board reference
- 250–300 g/m²
- Sachet selection focus
- Steady group supply and synchronized transfer
Reference data: supplied WZTS-130 and ZH-200 technical files. The final group must fit inside the approved carton with loading clearance and any inserts. The model number or carton-size range alone does not establish a feeder configuration.
One rate, one coordinated line
Connect sachet packing, grouping and cartoning
A multi-lane stick-pack machine may discharge more than one stream at different positions. Define the lane merge, accumulation, count changes and handoff to the cartoner together. A supply buffer absorbs only the interruptions it is designed to handle.
1. Primary packerAccepted packs/min, lane count, spacing and pack condition.
2. Feed & groupOrientation, carton count, group pattern and buffer limits.
3. Carton & checkCarton and insert synchronization, closure and reject scope.
4. End of lineCarton collection, case-packing rate and discharge response.
Give each interface an owner
Name who supplies the transfer conveyor, lane merge, grouping device, buffer, sensors, guarding and control integration. Ask for a coordinated layout and an agreed signal list before fixing the equipment footprint.
Show the sachet packer discharge in a short video. Include lane changes, interruptions and any packs that arrive overlapping or turned.
Define the stop and recovery sequence
Agree what happens when an incomplete group forms, carton supply stops or downstream discharge blocks. Identify where packs are held, rejected or recovered, and what checks precede restart.
If your carton count changes between SKUs, review the new group pattern, physical guides and timing as well as the setting on the control screen.
For lane-rate conversion, upstream-machine responsibilities and connected acceptance tests, use the stick-pack packaging and cartoning line planning guide.
Price follows the configured work
What affects sachet cartoning machine price?
Compare the machine and its sachet handling scope as a complete proposal. A base-cartoner price does not include every feeder, grouping mechanism, count format or upstream interface.
Feeder & grouping
Pack dimensions, fill condition, lane merge, counting, group pattern and guide parts influence the proposed scope. Include the difficult pack and each required count.
Carton & quality controls
Specify carton sizes, board, closure, leaflet or cards, code verification, completeness checks and rejected-carton handling. Agree which items are included or optional.
Line & delivery scope
Clarify conveyors, controls, buffer, guarding, FAT materials and evidence, documentation, format parts, installation, training and spare parts in the quotation.
Ask for an itemised current quote. Send pack samples or drawings and request the proposed feeding route, group arrangement, included formats, accepted-output basis, layout, options and exclusions. Confirm price, delivery and service terms for the actual project.
Test the complete cartonCOUNT & COMPLETENESS SEAL & FILM CONDITION NORMAL RUN & FAULTS COUNT OR SKU CHANGE
Prove count, pack protection and accepted output
Use production sachets, approved cartons and real inserts. Set count, damage, closure and code criteria before the trial, then challenge the configuration under the agreed run conditions.
Correct carton contents
Challenge missing, doubled, overlapping and incorrectly presented packs. Confirm the quoted checks and how incomplete cartons are prevented or rejected.
Undamaged sachets
Inspect seal snagging, compression, punctures, print scuffing and any product-specific damage criteria during group transfer and loading.
Good output after rejects
Count accepted cartons over the agreed duration. Record rejects, stops, supply interruptions and recovery behaviour alongside the operating rate.
First accepted new carton
Change the agreed pack count or format. Record material clearance, guides, parts, settings and checks required for the first accepted carton.
If checkweighing is part of the proposal, agree how it will demonstrate the required completeness check across the permitted pack-weight variation. Do not assume that a weight reading alone establishes an exact count for every product.

Procurement questions
Sachet cartoning machine FAQs
What does a sachet cartoning machine do?
It puts an agreed group of filled, sealed sachets or stick packs into a folding carton, with any specified insert, then closes and checks the carton according to the quoted scope. It handles secondary packaging; sachet filling and sealing happen upstream.
Can the same cartoner run sachets and stick packs?
A shared base machine may be reviewed for an agreed pack and carton set, but flat sachets and narrow sticks can need different presentation, guides and grouping arrangements. Confirm each format with finished samples and the specified change parts.
How many sachets can be packed in each carton?
The count depends on pack dimensions, filled thickness, group pattern, carton clearance and the proposed feeder. Send each required count and arrangement. A counting setting by itself does not establish that the physical group will fit or transfer reliably.
How should I calculate required cartoning output?
Divide accepted sachets/min by sachets/carton to check the quantity balance. For example, 800 sachets/min at 20 sachets/carton supports 40 cartons/min before cartoning losses. Confirm good output after rejects, stops and format changes in the agreed run.
Can a sachet cartoner connect to a multi-lane stick-pack machine?
The line can be reviewed when lane count, discharge geometry, accepted pack rate, orientation and available signals are defined. Specify lane merge, grouping, buffering, reject ownership and the stop/restart sequence in the coordinated line scope.
Which HIJ machines can be considered for sachet cartoning?
WZTS-130 and ZH-200 provide cartoner references with listed base-machine ranges of 30–80 and 80–200 cartons/min. Final selection depends on the sachet feeder, group transfer, carton, inserts and supply rate. These figures do not guarantee every sachet configuration.
Can the line add a leaflet, promotional card or carton code?
Include the insert dimensions, count, code content, placement and verification requirements in the project review. Feeding, timing, clearance and rejection must be confirmed with the pack group; each function should appear in the quotation scope.
What is needed for a sachet cartoning machine quotation?
Start with a finished sachet photo or drawing, carton count and required good output. Add the carton drawing, group arrangement, upstream rate and lane count, formats, inserts, closure, inspection and layout. Unknown details can be confirmed during the configuration review.
