Bagging in sachet product packing

Introduction
In the fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) industry, bagging is a critical stage in sachet product packaging. After individual sachets—such as instant coffee, powdered drinks, condiments, or personal care items—are filled and sealed, they are grouped together into larger bags for easier handling, storage, and distribution. For example, 20 sachets may be packed into one bag before moving on to carton packing and palletization. This step not only improves efficiency in logistics but also helps maintain product protection and inventory management.
However, traditional bagging methods have limitations in terms of traceability, authenticity, and regulatory compliance. Once sachets are grouped, tracking each unit across the supply chain becomes more complex, especially in informal or fragmented distribution networks.


This is where the Digital Product Passport (DPP) powered by QR codes adds significant value. By applying a unique digital identity not only at the sachet level, but also at the bag level, manufacturers can ensure:
Unit-to-Bag Aggregation: Each bag carries a parent QR code that links to all individual sachets inside, creating a traceable parent-child relationship.
Enhanced Traceability: From factory to retailer, each bag can be tracked, scanned, and verified at every stage of the supply chain.
Anti-Counterfeiting: A DPP provides authentication, making it harder for counterfeit products to infiltrate the market.
Sustainability & Compliance: Bags can include recycling information, carbon footprint data, and compliance with upcoming EU Digital Product Passport requirements.
Consumer Engagement: Retailers or even consumers scanning the bag-level QR code can access promotions, product details, or recycling instructions.


Summaries
By integrating Digital Product Passport technology into the bagging stage of sachet product packing, brands can achieve end-to-end visibility, ensure regulatory compliance, and create new opportunities for consumer trust and engagement.
