Cloud’s new high-speed stick packaging equipment produces a sleek new stick design that is more cost-effective than traditional stick packs. Available in various sizes and heights and volumes, making it the perfect solution for a wide range of single serve packets. Product formats including sugar, sweeteners, powdered candy, instant drink mixes (hot and cold), vitamins and nutraceutical products, diet products and portion-perfect meal preparation.

The advantage over traditional stick packaging is realized through Cloud’s high-speed, continuous–motion horizontal form fill and seal (HFFS) stick packaging machinery. It can process up to 5,200 single serve packets per minute for a 2 gram fill while maintaining extreme fill accuracy and exact count collation— allowing for higher efficiencies and yields with reduced labor costs and significant film and product cost savings. In addition to being the most economical choice, the stick packaging machinery offers a reduced carbon footprint, delivering up to 20 percent savings in packaging materials, compared with traditional stick packs.

The new design of the Cloud stick pack is distinctive in that its tear notch and angled spout are engineered for a more precise, clean and easy pour into the narrow neck of a bottle opening. In addition, the new design offers more real estate for nutritional information and product branding.

Cloud is able to custom-engineer equipment to meet a client’s specific single serve packets requirements. The Cloud stick packaging machine offers many advantages over traditional multi-lane machines, including tighter weight control, extreme collation accuracy and less maintenance.
