The importance of Stick Pack and Pillow packaging machines lies in the fact that Stick Pack and Pillow formats offer a clear advantage over three- or four-side sealed flat pouches: for the same content, they save approximately 30% in packaging material. However, this also means there is less surface area to include product information or highlight the brand.

The Stick Pack format emerged in the 1970s as an innovative alternative to the flexible single-dose packaging options available at the time. Its long, tubular shape very different from traditional flat pouches made the Stick Pack visually appealing and led to its rapid rise in popularity. Today, the Stick Pack format is found in products across all industries and has become a standard single-dose solution, making its production with Stick Pack packaging machines more relevant than ever.

IMAR offers a robust line of Stick Pack packaging machines for producing this type of packaging, ranging from small-scale to high-demand production, and suitable for all types of products.

The pillow format commonly known as PILLOW-type pouches is one of the most widely used packaging solutions on the market due to its high production capacity and simple design.

It supports a wide range of presentations: single pouches, dual packs, strips, sheets, and various easy-open systems, including die-cut designs.

We can package virtually any type of product or even two different products simultaneously. From powders, granules, liquids, or pastes to solid items such as candies, wipes, or collectible cards.

Suitable for all kinds of heat-sealable materials: cellulose, PET-PE, metallized films, varnished materials, and of course, BIODEGRADABLE materials as well.

The STICK/PILLOW family comes standard with a frame made entirely of AISI-304 stainless steel and includes the latest technological and automation features: servo-motorized transmission, PLC control, and a touchscreen control panel, among many others.
