A versatile solution designed to meet the needs of a market increasingly focused on practical, hygienic and ready-to-use formats.

Challenges of Packaging Tomato Paste in Stick Packs and Sachets

However, packaging tomato paste in single-dose sachets also presents some challenges. The thick, sticky nature of tomato paste can make it challenging to fill accurately and seal consistently. To overcome these challenges, manufacturers use a variety of techniques, including:

• Packaging materials must be suitable for thick, viscous products and be able to withstand the high temperatures and pressures used in the filling process;
• Sealing techniques that apply sufficient heat and pressure to ensure a strong, leak-proof seal;
• Designing specific dosing systems to handle thick, viscous products that can guarantee high standards of dose accuracy;
• Packaging materials that can protect the tomato paste from moisture, oxygen, and light;
• Aseptic filling processes to eliminate microorganisms from the product and packaging.

Despite these challenges, single-dose sachets and stick pack packaging for tomato paste are a growing trend due to its many benefits for both consumers and manufacturers.
