Stick Pack Co-Packing
End-to-End Stick Pack Contract Packaging Services
Reliable Pack Innovations is a leading stick pack co-packer serving nutraceutical, food & beverage, and CPG brands across the United States. We provide turnkey stick pack filling and packaging through our nationwide network of partner plants — with SQF, NSF, C-GMP, and FDA-compliant facilities.
What Is Stick Pack Co-Packing?
A stick pack is a narrow, elongated single-serve flexible package — typically 15mm to 35mm wide — filled with powder, granules, or liquid. Stick packs are widely used in the nutraceutical, sports nutrition, food & beverage, and cosmetic industries because they are portable, convenient, and present well at retail. A stick pack co-packer like Reliable Pack Innovations handles the entire filling and packaging process: sourcing flexible film material, running your product on vertical form-fill-seal (VFFS) equipment, applying heat seals, cutting to spec, and preparing finished product for distribution.
