Sweetener Stick Packs & Sachets: OEM Formula, Pack Sizes & Quotation Guide

Formulation and Buying GuidePublished by Guilin Hengliyuan Biotech

Get a custom sweetener stick-pack quotation: formula sweetness, grams per sachet, inner and outer packaging, and a per-pack cost breakdown.

A custom quotation for erythritol–sucralose stick packs depends on formula sweetness, net weight per stick pack, primary and outer packaging format, and order quantity. Hengliyuan can discuss the formula and packaging for the customer’s use case, then calculate costs per stick pack, bag, or box.

Customers developing private-label sweeteners, retail packs, or portion-controlled products can first define the sweetness each stick pack must deliver. If the formula and packaging are not yet set, the discussion can begin with the intended use.

5 times sweeter or 10 times sweeter, how to choose the size of the stick pack?

According to Hengliyuan’s actual formula experience, erythritol and sucralose are very suitable for making a blended sweetener that is at least 5 times as sweet as sucrose. When used in stick packs, the sweetness provided in one use can be determined by matching the sweetness multiple with the weight of each bag. When discussing the small package plan, you can use the usage amount of about 6-12 grams of sugar in one package as a reference. For example, 2 grams of a 5 times sweetened compound product can theoretically provide the same sweetness as 10 grams of white sugar, making it suitable as a starting point for small package development.

Small bag solutionNet content per packetThe theoretical amount of sweetness equal to sugar per packet
5 times sweeter, 2g package2 grams10 grams
10 times sweeter, 1g package1g10 grams
10 times sweeter, 2g pack2 grams20 grams

If the goal is to provide each pack with the equivalent sweetness of 10 grams of white sugar, you can compare the 5 times sweeter, 2 gram pack with the 10 times sweeter, 1 gram pack. If you want to maintain 2 grams per pack while providing more sweetness, you can discuss the 10 times sweeter solution. The above is a theoretical equal sweetness conversion, and the specific addition amount, taste and filling specifications are confirmed by actual application and production conditions. Consumer instructions should correspond to the final formula, and the same recommended dosage should not be used just because the packet looks or weighs the same.

What fees are included in the quote for stick packs?

The quotation for small packs needs to account for the sweeteners in the packs and packaging processing together. When customers compare plans, they should confirm whether the quotation includes the following:

Expense itemsCorresponding content
Sweetener raw materialsConfirmed recipe, sweetness and dosage per pack
Inner packaging materials and packaging feesMaterials and packaging processing of individual packets
Outer packagingHow many packs per bag or box, as well as material, size and printing chosen
Other agreed expensesAre plate making, transportation, etc. billed separately?

For example, when choosing 50 packets per bag or box, you can first calculate the cost of raw materials for 50 packets, then add the cost of inner packaging materials and packaging and the cost of an outer bag or box. 50 packs is the comparison unit for the following calculation examples. The actual packaging quantity, bagging or boxing form can be discussed according to the customer's sales and usage needs.

Taking 50 packs as an example, what are the costs of the three options?

According to the calculation conditions provided by Hengliyuan this time, the packaging material and packaging fee for each small package is 0.10 yuan, and each outer bag or box is 1.80 yuan. Therefore, the packaging cost per bag or box of 50 packs is:

50×0.10+1.80=6.80 yuan.

Including the corresponding sweetener raw material costs, the costs of the three options are as follows:

Compare items5 times sweeter, 2g package10 times sweeter, 1g package10 times sweeter, 2g pack
Quantity per bag/box50 pack50 pack50 pack
The theoretical amount of sweetness equal to sugar per packet10 grams10 grams20 grams
Total net content per bag/box100g50g100g
50 packs of raw material cost1.70 yuan1.10 yuan2.20 yuan
50 packages of packaging materials and packaging fees5.00 yuan5.00 yuan5.00 yuan
an outer bag or box1.80 yuan1.80 yuan1.80 yuan
Estimated cost per bag/box8.50 yuan7.90 yuan9.00 yuan
Average cost per small package, including shared outer packaging0.17 yuan0.158 yuan0.18 yuan

The first two options provide the same target sweetness per pack. According to this calculation example, 10 times sweeter and 1g per bag or box is 0.60 yuan less than 5 times sweeter and 2g per box. 10 times sweeter, 2 grams per bag or box is 9.00 yuan, but the theoretical sweetness provided by each small bag is twice that of the first two options. The comparison needs to be based on the actual single use demand. The above amounts are cost estimates for the listed raw materials and packaging items, not retail prices or fixed external quotations. Bags and boxes are included in the calculation at 1.80 yuan, and the actual cost is confirmed based on the selected packaging materials and order quantity; plate making, transportation and other costs not included will be calculated separately. Compare the cost in use of erythritol–sucralose blends and sucrose

Other sweeteners can be added to the formula to suit different applications

According to Hengliyuan’s practical application experience, the combination of erythritol and sucralose has little impact on the original flavor of the finished product. When developing a small bag, you can first confirm the sweetness in the target drink or food, and then compare whether the initial taste and aftertaste are consistent with the original flavor. If you need to further supplement the taste, you can also add other sweeteners on this basis to adjust the combination for different uses. Customers can state the flavor they wish to retain, the taste they need to improve, and their cost goals, and Hengliyuan will help discuss the recipe. After the ingredients or proportions are changed, the target sweetness, net weight per pack and cost should be confirmed together. The above cost table will not automatically apply to the adjusted plan. View Hengliyuan erythritol sucralose compound products

How does OEM packaging correspond to formula and order?

Hengliyuan can discuss its own brand of small bag according to customer needs, and provide blending customers with complete ingredient names, specific proportions of each ingredient, target sweetness and finished product specifications. The ingredients, net content and instructions on the packaging should be consistent with the final confirmed product. For example, the total net content of 50 packs x 2 grams is 100 grams, and the total net content of 50 packs x 1 gram is 50 grams. The amount of sweetness such as white sugar is used to explain the sweetness and cannot replace the actual net content. The first order should also distinguish between the production quantity of finished products and the purchase quantity of customized packaging materials. Packaging materials can be customized at one time, and the finished products can be produced in batches according to demand; unused customized packaging can be saved by Hengliyuan's original factory for subsequent orders. The minimum order quantity of packaging materials and plate making costs are confirmed according to the specific packaging plan.

What do I need to provide when making an inquiry to Hengliyuan?

Customers can first provide the sales market, specific uses, desired sweetness per package, expected order quantity, and preferred bag or box format. If there are already formulas, samples or packaging drafts, they can be used as a basis for discussion. If the weight per pack or relative sweetness has not yet been decided, describe the intended use first. Hengliyuan can discuss the formula and packaging based on those requirements. A formal quotation and delivery arrangements for each pack, pouch or box can follow once the samples and specifications are confirmed. Consult Hengliyuan sweetener stick-pack OEM customization
