Stick Pack Machine

A stick pack machine, or stick packing machine, forms, fills and seals narrow stick-shaped sachets from flexible film. Multi-lane configurations from a single lane up to 10 lanes match low- or high-volume output, and the machines are supplied and supported Australia-wide by Nexus Australia.

How it works

A stick pack machine forms narrow, multi-lane sachets from flexible film, doses product into each sachet, and seals it. Running multiple lanes side by side increases throughput.
