What We Help Develop

SachetsCo can support a wide range of food and beverage product concepts, including:

  • Functional drink powders and instant beverage formats
  • Electrolyte and hydration blends
  • Collagen, creatine and wellness powder concepts
  • Amino acid and sports nutrition concepts
  • Flavour and sweetener systems
  • Fruit powder and botanical drink concepts
  • Powdered beverage sachets for retail, foodservice or direct-to-consumer
  • Syrups, concentrates, sauces and selected liquid formats
  • Sample sachets and market-testing packs

Our focus is on formulation direction, mixing and filling — not on making therapeutic or health claims. We help you build a product that can be sampled, packed and scaled sensibly.

Ingredient, Flavour and Format Direction

Getting a food or beverage product ready for sachet filling or bulk packaging involves more than a recipe. SachetsCo can provide practical direction across:

  • Sweetness balancing and sugar or sweetener system selection
  • Acidity and flavour profile development
  • Mouthfeel and texture considerations
  • Solubility and dispersibility in water or other carriers
  • Colour and appearance
  • Powder flow and handling characteristics
  • Density and fill weight planning
  • Liquid viscosity assessment
  • Packaging compatibility review
  • Ingredient statement support
  • Allergen considerations

The aim is to create a product that can be sampled, packed and scaled sensibly — with documentation to support your next steps.

Powder Mixing and Blending

SachetsCo supports dry powder blending for food and beverage projects, subject to ingredient suitability, flow, density and documentation review. This includes:

  • Drink powder blending
  • Electrolyte and hydration blends
  • Flavour premixes
  • Sweetener systems
  • Collagen and creatine blends
  • Botanical and fruit powder blends
  • Ingredient premixes for sachet filling
  • Pilot blends before scale-up

Each powder project is reviewed for ingredient compatibility, flow characteristics and fill weight suitability before production commences.

Liquid Mixing and Food Filling

SachetsCo can support selected liquid food and beverage projects, including syrups, concentrates, sauces, gels, flavour concentrates and low to medium viscosity liquids. Selected beverage or food liquid formats may also be suitable depending on the product.

Each liquid project is reviewed for viscosity, packaging compatibility, seal integrity, hygiene requirements and filling accuracy before we proceed. Not all liquid formats are suitable for sachet filling — we will advise you clearly at the brief stage.

Sachet Filling Options

SachetsCo offers a range of sachet filling options for food and beverage products:

  • Powder sachets from 1 g to 60 g, subject to powder flow, density, packaging and project requirements
  • Selected liquid, syrup, gel or concentrate sachets from 1 mL to 60 mL, subject to viscosity, product compatibility, packaging and project requirements
  • Flat sachets and stick sachets where suitable
  • Twin or perforated formats where suitable
  • Tear notch options where suitable
  • Batch coding where suitable
  • Pilot runs, samples, launch packs and retail testing quantities

We work with you to select the right sachet format for your product, your packaging artwork and your target market.

Bulk and Other Container Filling

We can support larger-format filling up to 30 kg or 30 L per container, subject to product compatibility, viscosity or powder flow, packaging selection and regulatory requirements.

This can suit a range of project needs, including:

  • Pilot batches and pre-production runs
  • Wholesale packs and refill packs
  • Ingredient or premix supply
  • Brands needing both sachet and larger-format container options

Larger-format filling is assessed on a project-by-project basis. Please include your product type, target container, fill weight or volume, and any relevant regulatory or packaging requirements in your brief.

Quality, GMP, HACCP and Documentation

SachetsCo operates with GMP and HACCP certified systems. Our production workflow is designed to support:

  • Batch records and traceability
  • Supplier documentation review where available
  • Certificate of Analysis (COA) review where available
  • Fill weight and volume checks
  • Formulation notes and pilot batch records
  • Sample retention where included in the project scope
  • Artwork and label wording review support
  • Compliance-aware production workflows

We do not guarantee regulatory approval, shelf life, stability testing outcomes, market approval or customs clearance. We recommend working with a qualified food regulatory consultant for any claims, labelling or market-specific compliance requirements.

  • Startups developing a first food or beverage product
  • Brands testing flavour or format changes
  • Sports nutrition and hydration brands
  • Food brands needing sachet samples or pilot runs
  • Beverage brands needing powder or concentrate trials
