Single-dose card packaging · Manufactured in Türkiye
A single dose is sealed inside a rigid card. It is opened by folding it between three fingers and empties completely — no scissors, no tearing, no product left inside. Suitable for cosmetics, food supplements and food products.
Thin, flat, rigid. Sealed thin at the edge, filled through the middle.
A dotted line weakens the card exactly where it has to open.
Three fingers fold it. The line gives way without a sharp edge.
One opening, one dose, filled to ±1% and emptied completely.
How it works
A row of micro-perforations weakens the card at the point where it is intended to open. When the card is folded the line breaks, and the product is dispensed through a single opening at the rate of thumb pressure.
Thin, flat, rigid. It travels in a pocket, a carton or between the pages of a magazine without creasing the print.
Half a second, three fingers. The micro-perforation gives way without a sharp edge — no scissors, no tearing, no fingernails.
The rigid face pushes the product to the opening. The dose reaches skin instead of staying in a corner.
Product advantages
A card carries one dose and dispenses it completely.
Folded open between three fingers; no scissors, no tearing, no fingernail. The motion is the same with gloves on or in a vehicle.
The rigid card carries the dose in a pocket, a bag or a carton. The sealed edge holds its integrity under pressure.
The rigid body directs the product to the opening; no dose stays in the corners. The user receives the full dose.
The product meets air and hands only at the moment of use. No container left open, no carry-over between uses.
Filling accuracy is ±0.1 ml. The dose holds across the batch and can therefore be declared on the pack.
The thin, flat structure fits more doses into the same carton than bottle or thermoformed alternatives.
Pack formats
Seven formats are produced on the same line. Viscosity, dose volume and shelf presentation determine which format is selected. The cutting die and the film print are produced specifically for your brand.
01 · Most requested
Serum, cream, gel, lotion, cleanser. The film is heat-formed, so the pack stands proud rather than flat and holds its own on a shelf. Micro-perforation, spoon cut and hang-hole are optional stations.
02 · Active protection
Two formulas, one card, no contact until use. Actives that oxidise or attack each other — vitamin C, enzymes, peroxide — meet for the first time in the palm. Liquid+liquid, liquid+powder, oil+water.
03
Bottom and top film register to each other in the centre. Italian machines hold ±3 mm here. This line holds ±0.5 mm — the logo lands where it was drawn.
04
A card need not be a rectangle. Scalloped edge, rounded corner, hang-hole, droplet, the outline of a logo — the die is cut to your drawing.
05
Honey, sauce, jam, liquid supplements. The vertical line fills to 10 g and cuts a zigzag spout, so viscous product leaves from one point instead of spreading. Filled without bubbles, so the dose is honest.
06
Single, double or triple-colour filling for eye and lip masks, ±0.1 g, on a −25 °C chilled line. On the food side, a polypropylene cup that survives steam and boiling.
07 · Custom production
Send us your artwork and the form you require. The cutting die is produced from your drawing and the film is printed to your design, so the pack leaving the line looks like your own product rather than a standard sachet with a label applied. The standard forms cover most products; where they do not, a new die is cut to your drawing and you see the result before any commitment is made.
Applications
Any product that pours, spreads or drips at a single-use volume can be packed in a card. The two categories below account for the majority of production on this line.
01 · Cosmetics and personal care
One card corresponds to one application. The user applies the correct amount at first use, so the product is judged on its formulation rather than on an estimated dose. The same pack can be used as an in-box sample, a magazine insert, a hotel amenity, or a travel size that is not subject to the 100 ml rule.
02 · Food, beverage and supplements
Sauces, honey, oil, syrup and concentrates are dispensed from the card in a controlled manner. The pack is opened with one hand at a table, in a vehicle or on the move, and it empties completely, so the portion served equals the portion costed.
Blister packs · the line
Where the card format does not provide sufficient volume for the product, the film is drawn into a cavity instead; forming, filling and sealing are completed in the same cycle. The line combines card and blister production under a single investment.
Comparison
| Criterion | Conventional sachet | Snappax card |
|---|---|---|
| Opening | A tear notch that will not start with wet hands or short nails | Folded between three fingers; no tool needed |
| Evacuation | Product stays in the corners; the user keeps squeezing | The rigid face pushes product to the opening — nothing is left behind |
| Dose control | An uncontrolled mouth width; the product spurts | One opening, a dose filled to ±0.1 ml |
| Shelf presence | Soft, creases, will not stand on a display | Rigid card; embossed form, hang-hole, upright display |
| Creasing destroys the artwork | ±0.5 mm registration across bottom and top film | |
| Two formulas | Needs two separate sachets | A&B chambers in one card; mixed at point of use |
| Hygiene | The torn edge is sharp and uneven | Micro-perforation breaks clean and never cuts the hand |
Production
Film goes in on a reel and the card comes out packed. Forming, dosing, heat sealing, perforation and cutting all finish in the same cycle — no intermediate stock, no manual transfer, no cross-contamination risk.
Specifications
| Line | Fill | Accuracy | Tool bed | Film | Cycle |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Snap pack | up to 10 g | ±0.1 ml | 260 × 140 mm | PET/PE · PAL/AL/PET/PE | 25 /min |
| Double-aligned blister | 0.5 – 8 ml | ±0.1 ml | 260 × 140 mm | PET | 22 – 25 /min |
| Hydrogel mask | By weight | ±0.1 g | 260 × 220 mm | PVC / PET / HIPS / PLA | 20 /min |
| PP cup (food) | Per tool | ±0.1 ml | 350 × 240 mm | PP / PVC / PET / HIPS / PLA | 18 – 22 /min |
The tool bed is not the size of one card but the area of film worked in a single stroke; how many cards fit inside it depends on the form and determines hourly capacity. Print registration is ±0.5 mm and the cutting tolerance is under ±1 mm. Optional stations: skin-safe micro-perforation, spoon cut, easy-snap line and a hang-hole.
Process
Viscosity, dose, target shelf life, volume. Your formula, or one developed here.
A fill trial on existing tooling. You hold the pack and see the dose before the die is cut.
The die is cut and the film printed. Bottom and top film print separately, then register to each other.
A short batch validates filling, sealing and cutting. Seal integrity and fill weight are measured, not assumed.
Production on approved parameters, batch-tracked. Cartoning and labelling as required.
Information
Either. We fill your finished product, or the formula is developed here first and filled.
It follows the format, the fill volume and the print reel length. Put your target volume in the form and the band comes back with the quote.
A brand-specific shape carries a one-off tooling cost; a standard form carries none. Dies are cut from DC53 and last millions of strokes, so the first order pays for it and later orders do not.
Both films are printed for you. On the double-aligned line the two prints hold each other within ±0.5 mm, so the logo, the dose statement and the usage diagram land where you placed them.
Serum, cream, gel, lotion, oil, cleanser, sanitiser, hydrogel essence, powder. On the food side honey, sauce and liquid supplements. Very high viscosity or particles get a fill trial first.
That is what A&B is for. Two chambers stay apart for the whole shelf life and meet when the card is folded — the usual answer for oxidation-sensitive actives.
Short, once the die and the print exist. On a first order the calendar is set by tooling and print preparation, and you get that calendar with the quote.
Destination labelling is planned at the print stage.
