Ultraclean Stick Pack Machines
Universal Pack designs and builds a wide range of custom-built stick pack machines for ultraclean packaging. Our vertical intermittent-motion ultraclean stick pack machines can handle a wide range of products supporting high hygienic standards.
Sterilization & Decontamination Technologies
We design our stick pack machines for ultraclean packaging with top-down laminar flow. This technology helps prevent external agents from coming into contact with dosing and formation groups to help prevent contamination in the product area. We also provide chemical and non-chemical film decontamination technologies. Our ultraclean machines are easily accessible for maintenance and washdown operations.
We always verify the effectiveness of the ultraclean system in our internal laboratory. Ultraclean machines help maintain product shelf life of our customers’ products but while reducing or avoiding the need for preservatives, depending on the application.
Universal Pack designs all the parts of this type of machine in accordance with hygienic design best practices, such as self-draining surfaces and flat welds. In addition to that, the sealing units can be fully foam-cleaned.
We design each machine for ultraclean stick packs to support high levels of hygiene, precision, quality and efficiency.
The company’s patented system for inserting and folding film around forming tubes helps improve maximum efficiency and reliability. This technology contributes to the reliability of Universal Pack machines worldwide.

Types of Packages
Formats
Universal Pack stick pack machines for ultraclean packaging are specifically dedicated to single-dose packages. For example, we can dose from 0.1 to 200 gr or ml of product in a stick pack, with dimensions that vary according to your marketing goals, nature of the products and production requirements.
Moreover, we provide you with the possibility to easily integrate your stick pack machine in a Universal Pack packaging line for cartoning. Our lines allow you to place from 1 to more than 100 stick packs in the same carton. We have developed patented counting units for any number of packages to be picked and placed into cartons. In recent years, our philosophy is to save as much material and product as possible, both for economic and environmental sustainability.
Laminates
Universal Pack stick pack machines for ultraclean packaging can process all typical heat-sealable composite films, for example: PAP-PE (paper – polyethylene), PAP-ALU-PE (paper – aluminum – polyethylene), PET-ALU-PE (polyethylene terephthalate – aluminum – polyethylene) and cold-sealable materials. Our machines can also package sustainable laminates such as PP (polypropylene), PLA (polylactic acid), PAP (paper), Bio-PE (bio-based polyethylene), and more on request.

Sustainability
Our continuous research in reducing the packaging industry’s carbon footprint resulted in streamlined machinery design for processing recycled, recyclable and compostable laminates. LCA (Life Cycle Assessment) is used to measure the environmental impact of our products and identify optimal ways to reduce it. It is a 360° analysis that goes beyond the mere packaging produced and involves every step of the packaging machinery production process. We develop our solutions in close collaboration with the main global film suppliers and test them in agreement with major multinational companies in order to provide them with a turnkey solution able to produce more sustainable packages.
