What is the minimum order for stick packs?

| Manufacturer type | Published stick pack minimum | What you supply |
|---|---|---|
| US full-service plants | 150,000 to 500,000 sticks | Nothing: they source and blend |
| US stick pack specialists | 70,000 to 250,000 sticks | Usually nothing |

Published minimums on US manufacturer websites, checked October 2026. Your minimum can change with the film, flavour and carton.
What can go in a stick pack?
Dry, free-flowing powders that mix into water or a drink:
- Hydration and electrolytes: see hydration formulas
- Creatine, pre-workout and amino acids: see sports formulas
- Greens, fibre and gut blends: see gut health formulas
- Collagen and beauty blends: see beauty and joint formulas
- Vitamin C, zinc and immune blends: see immune formulas
- Magnesium and calm blends: see sleep and calm formulas
What suits another format better:
- Servings over the stick fill range: a tub or pouch with a scoop
- Liquids and oils: dropper bottles or syrups
- Fizzing tablets: effervescent tubes
Which stick pack films and cartons can you choose?
- Film: PET, foil and PE laminates. Foil laminates give the strongest moisture barrier for powders that pull in water, such as electrolytes.
- Finish: matte, gloss or foil, printed with your brand.
- Carton: 10, 15, 20 or 30 sticks per printed carton, retail-ready.
- Artwork: yours, or from our in-house designers.
Stick pack or sachet?
A stick pack is a narrow tube of film that tears open at one end and pours straight into a bottle. A sachet is a flat, wider pouch that suits larger single servings. We fill both; tell us the serving size and we will recommend one in your quote.
