Private Label Stick Pack Manufacturer

Stick packs are one of the fastest ways for a supplement brand to deliver a precise, single-serve dose that customers can carry anywhere. Palmyra Nutra is a US private label stick pack manufacturer that helps brands turn a powder formula into finished, retail-ready single-serve packs, with formulation support, blending, filling, sealing and packaging handled through our San Diego manufacturing operation.

Why Brands Choose Stick Packs

A stick pack is a slim, single-serve pouch filled with a measured amount of powder. Customers tear it open and pour it into water, a smoothie or straight onto the tongue, depending on the product. For brands, stick packs offer real advantages:

  • Accurate servings. Every pack holds one measured serving, so there is no scoop and no guesswork.
  • Portability. Stick packs fit in a gym bag, purse or travel kit, which makes them a natural fit for hydration, energy and on-the-go wellness products.
  • Trial and sampling. Single packs are ideal for sample programs, subscription boxes, events and retail trial packs.
  • Retail presentation. Packs can be sold in branded cartons, display boxes or multi-pack bags.

Popular Stick Pack Products

Most powder formulas that dissolve or disperse well can be considered for stick packs. Common categories include:

  • Electrolyte and hydration mixes
  • Pre-workout and energy blends
  • Creatine and other sports nutrition powders
  • Greens, superfood and fiber blends
  • Collagen and beauty powders
  • Mushroom and adaptogen drink mixes
  • Relaxation and evening blends

If your brand already sells a gummy or capsule, a stick pack can extend the same formula concept into a drink-mix format. For a chewable hydration option, see our electrolyte gummies.

Our Stick Pack Manufacturing Process

1. Formula review and development

We start with your actives, serving size, flavor direction and sweetener preferences. If you have an existing specification, we review it for flowability, solubility and taste. If you are starting from scratch, we help build a formula that fits the stick pack format and your target customer.

2. Flavor and taste work

Powders live or die on taste. Many functional ingredients are bitter, salty or earthy, so flavor systems, sweeteners and acids are balanced to make the finished drink something customers actually want to reorder.

3. Blending

Ingredients are weighed and blended to produce a uniform powder, so each pack delivers a consistent serving from the first pack in a run to the last.

4. Filling and sealing

The blend is filled into stick pack film and sealed. Pack width, length and film choice depend on the fill weight and the look you want on shelf.

5. Packaging and finished goods

Finished stick packs can be cartoned or packed for retail and e-commerce, ready to ship to your warehouse or fulfillment partner.

Quality and Testing

Stick packs are produced with GMP-compliant manufacturing in the USA. Ingredients are documented, and finished products can be tested for identity, potency and microbiology as the project requires. Learn more on our quality and testing page.

What Affects a Stick Pack Quote

  • Fill weight per pack and number of packs per carton
  • Ingredient costs and sourcing of specialty actives
  • Flavor and sweetener system
  • Film, printing and carton requirements
  • Production volume

Stick pack projects are quoted by project, because formula, packaging and ingredients all affect the practical production minimum and price.
