Why Universal Pack for olive oil packaging?
Packaging oil in small flexible packs requires a different level of control from simply transferring a liquid from one container to another. At single-dose volumes, dosing accuracy, dripping, seal cleanliness and packaging material performance become increasingly important.
Universal Pack develops olive oil stick pack and sachet machines by considering these variables as part of one complete packaging process, from liquid dosing to finished-pack handling.
Liquid dosing designed for accuracy
The dosing configuration is defined according to the actual characteristics of the oil, target dose, pack dimensions and required production speed. Accurate control of the filling cycle helps maintain repeatable portions across multiple lanes and throughout extended production runs.
Product and packaging material tested together
Reliable oil packaging depends on the interaction between liquid dosing, pack formation and sealing. When required, trials with the actual product and laminate can be used to assess filling behaviour, product cut-off and packaging material performance before the industrial solution is finalised.
Multilane technology for high-volume production
Universal Pack multilane technology allows multiple olive oil or edible oil sachets and stick packs to be formed, filled and sealed simultaneously. The machine configuration and number of lanes are defined according to dose, pack size and required sustained output.
From primary packaging to complete lines
When the project extends beyond primary packaging, coding, inspection, counting, handling and cartoning technologies can be integrated into a complete automated packaging line. Technical support, spare parts and ongoing testing continue throughout the machine lifecycle.

Technical Project Assessment
Oil type, dose, viscosity, filling temperature, packaging material and required output all influence the final solution. Evaluating these parameters from the beginning helps define the most suitable dosing system, pack format and machine configuration.
| What we evaluate | Key project considerations |
|---|---|
| Which type of oil will be packaged? | Extra virgin olive oil, olive oil, sunflower oil, seed oils, vegetable oils, flavoured oils and other edible oils can have different characteristics and production requirements. The actual product is therefore considered from the beginning of the project. |
| How does the oil behave during filling? | Viscosity, density, flow behaviour and any variation under real production conditions are evaluated to define the most suitable dosing system and filling parameters. |
| At what temperature will the oil be filled? | Product temperature can influence viscosity and flow behaviour. The actual filling conditions are considered when defining dosing parameters and machine settings. |
| What dose and filling accuracy are required? | Target dose, acceptable tolerance, pack dimensions and required output are assessed together to achieve consistent filling across all machine lanes. |
| How can dripping be controlled? | Nozzle configuration, dosing timing and liquid cut-off are evaluated to minimise residual drops after filling and help keep the pack and sealing area clean. |
| How should the sealing area be protected from oil contamination? | Filling position, product cut-off and sealing conditions are defined to reduce the risk of oil reaching the sealing surfaces and to support consistent pack integrity. |
| Which pack format is most suitable? | Stick pack or sachet dimensions, target dose, opening system, intended use and branding requirements are considered when defining the final pack format and machine configuration. |
| Which packaging material will be used? | Film structure, sealability, grease resistance, mechanical properties and required barrier performance are evaluated together with the oil and expected storage conditions. |
| How should the oil be protected during shelf life? | Product sensitivity to oxygen, light and storage conditions is considered when defining the required packaging material and barrier characteristics. |
| What production output is required? | Required sustained output, batch size, operating shifts and campaign duration help determine the appropriate number of lanes, machine speed and level of automation. |
| How many oils and pack sizes will be produced? | The number of products, doses and pack formats influences machine flexibility, recipe management and the frequency and complexity of production changeovers. |
| Will flavoured or infused oils also be produced? | Ingredients, suspended particles or flavouring components may influence the dosing circuit and cleaning requirements. Their size, concentration and behaviour should be evaluated as part of the application. |
| What cleaning requirements must be considered? | Cleaning frequency, accessibility of product-contact components, oil changes and production campaign length are considered when defining the most appropriate cleaning concept. |
| Which quality controls are required? | Coding, vision inspection, weight control, reject systems, traceability and production data management can be integrated according to the required level of process control. |
| Is secondary packaging part of the project? | Counting, grouping, transfer and cartoning requirements are considered when olive oil sachets or stick packs need to be integrated into a complete automated packaging line. |
Faq
Can olive oil be packed in both sachets and stick packs?
Yes. Both formats can be used for single-dose olive oil and edible oil packaging. The most suitable solution depends on the required dose, intended use, packaging material, opening requirements and production target.
Which dosing system is suitable for olive oil?
The dosing configuration is selected according to the characteristics of the oil, target dose, required filling accuracy and production speed. These parameters are evaluated together to define the most suitable liquid filling solution.
Can the same machine package different edible oils?
Potentially, yes. Olive oil, extra virgin olive oil, sunflower oil, seed oils and other edible oils can often be managed within the same machine platform when their characteristics and required doses fall within the validated operating range.
How do you prevent oil from dripping after filling?
Nozzle geometry, dosing timing and product cut-off are configured to control the liquid at the end of each dosing cycle. Reducing residual drops helps keep both the pack and sealing area cleaner during continuous production.
Why is seal cleanliness important when packaging oil?
Oil reaching the sealing surfaces can interfere with the sealing process. Accurate filling, correct nozzle positioning and controlled product cut-off help reduce contamination and support consistent finished-pack integrity.
Which films can be used for olive oil sachets?
Film selection depends on sealability, mechanical performance, grease resistance, product compatibility, required barrier properties and targeted shelf life. The laminate should be evaluated together with the actual oil and production conditions.
How can flexible packaging protect olive oil?
The packaging structure can be selected according to the required protection against oxygen, light and other external factors that may affect oil quality during storage. The appropriate barrier level depends on the product, distribution conditions and targeted shelf life.
Can flavoured or infused oils be packaged?
Potentially, yes. Oils containing herbs, spices or other suspended ingredients require a specific technical assessment. Particle dimensions, concentration and behaviour must be evaluated to verify compatibility with the dosing circuit, valves and filling nozzles.
Can very small oil doses be packed accurately?
Yes, subject to the characteristics of the product and the required dose range. Small single-dose applications require careful dosing-system selection and precise control of the filling cycle to maintain consistent quantities across all lanes.
Can different pack sizes run on the same machine?
Potentially, yes. The required dose range, sachet or stick dimensions and expected changeover frequency are considered when defining the operating range and flexibility of the machine.
Can sustainable packaging materials be tested for olive oil?
Yes. Alternative flexible packaging structures can be evaluated through dedicated trials to assess machinability, sealing behaviour, grease resistance and compatibility with the required product-protection performance.
Can the machine be integrated into a complete olive oil packaging line?
Yes. Olive oil stick pack and sachet machines can be integrated with coding, inspection, counting, handling and cartoning technologies to create a complete automated packaging line according to the required production flow.
