Powders are one of the trickiest formats to package well — and one of the most searched-for co-packing capabilities. If you are launching a drink mix, supplement, superfood blend, spice, or any powdered product, here is what to look for in a co-packer.
Formats for powders
Powdered products can go into stand-up gusseted pouches, single-serve sachets, stick packs, shaker jars, wide-mouth jars, and bottles. The right format depends on dose, shelf presence, and how your customer uses the product. A capable co-packer can advise on what fills cleanly and runs efficiently.
Blending and multi-lane filling
Many powder projects require blending multiple ingredients to a uniform mix, or filling particulates that do not flow like fine powders. Minimus Products runs a ribbon blender into an auger for powders and a multi-lane weigh filler for particulates, so blended and mixed-texture products are well within scope.
Testing and quality
For ingestible powders, ask how the co-packer handles incoming bulk testing and production samples. Minimus Products tests food bulk on arrival and pulls production samples for a licensed food microbiological lab.
From sachet to scale
Whether you need a small run of sample sachets or a growing line of stick packs and pouches, Minimus Products can fill it and scale with you. Explore our filling capabilities or request a quote.
