Find the Right Format for Your Product

Sigma Services supports dozens of packaging formats across dry, liquid, and flexible categories. Whether you already know what you need or you’re still figuring it out, start here.

One Facility. Many Formats.

Choosing the right packaging format depends on your product, your channel, your brand presentation, and your budget. Sigma’s modular production setup means we’re not locked into one format — we can match the right packaging approach to your specific needs.

Pouches & Flexible Bags

Pouches offer strong shelf presence, lightweight shipping, and a wide range of options for branding and functionality. Sigma supports multiple pouch styles produced on both vertical and horizontal form-fill-seal equipment, as well as pre-made pouch filling for premium features.

  • Stand-up gusseted pouches — upright merchandising, strong shelf presence, flexible sizing
  • Pillow pouches — simple, efficient, cost-effective for high-speed production
  • Pre-made pouches with zipper — resealable, multi-serve, premium consumer experience
  • VFFS pouches — high-efficiency production from rollstock, wide range of sizes
  • HFFS pouches— specific styles where horizontal forming supports product consistency
  • Sachets and small-format pouches— single-serve, sampling, subscription inserts

Dry mixes, powders, snacks, granola, coffee, tea, pet treats, supplements, trial packs

Bottles, Jars & Tubes

Sigma’s liquid filling capabilities cover gravity fill for free-flowing liquids and piston fill for thicker products, across bottle, jar, and tube formats. Whether you’re filling a 2 oz wellness shot or a 16 oz bottle of marinade, we match the fill technology to your product’s viscosity.

  • Bottles — versatile across viscosities; food, wellness, and specialty categories
  • Jars — wider opening for thicker liquids and semi-viscous products
  • Tubes — gel-based and thicker products; controlled dispensing and portability
  • Single-serve bottles and shots — trial packs, wellness shots, portion-controlled formats

Oils, dressings, marinades, syrups, honeys, liquid supplements, wellness shots, essential oils, flavor concentrates, pet toppers

Rigid Containers & Canisters

Rigid containers and canisters work well for products that need structure — whether that’s a canister of pet treats on a retail shelf or a rigid container of protein powder that needs to look premium and survive shipping. These formats offer strong brand presence and are easy for consumers to store and reuse.

  • Rigid containers — premium look, strong protection, good for storage and reuse
  • Canisters — sturdy, shelf-ready, particularly popular for pet treats and dry goods

Protein powders, supplement blends, pet treats, dry snacks, premium dry goods

Flow Wrap

Flow wrapping is ideal for products that need to be individually wrapped or bundled in a clean, tight package. It’s a high-throughput format that works well for bars, single-serve items, and promotional multi-packs where speed and consistent presentation matter.

  • Individual wrap — bars, single items, clean branded presentation
  • Multi-item collations — bundled items wrapped together for retail or promotion

Bars, single-serve snacks, sample packs, promotional bundles, individually wrapped items

Retail-Ready Displays & Secondary Configurations

Secondary packaging turns your filled, finished units into configurations that are ready to merchandise, ship, and sell. Sigma handles the full range of secondary builds, from simple multipacks to retailer-specific hutch displays and seasonal promotional programs.

  • Multipacks — multi-count retail packs, club configurations, mixed-SKU variety packs
  • Display trays and shelf-ready packs — designed for fast shelf placement and consistent facing
  • POP and counter displays — point-of-purchase merchandising configurations
  • Hutch displays — retailer-specific merchandising builds
  • Shrink-wrapped bundles — multi-unit bundles and overwraps for retail and distribution
  • Kits and gift sets — multi-SKU kits, subscription box builds, curated assortments
  • Seasonal and promotional packouts — holiday bundles, limited-time offers, giftable configurations

Retail promotions, club store programs, e-commerce subscription boxes, seasonal launches, in-store merchandising

“We love when a customer comes to us with a certain project, and we have the opportunity to show them how much more we have to offer — whether it’s filling a single-serve pouch and putting it into a multi-pack, or packing it into a display tray or a quarter pallet. We can take them from the beginning all the way to the store shelf.”

Not Sure Which Format Is Right?

If you have a product but aren’t sure which packaging format fits best, that’s a completely normal place to start. Sigma works with brands at every stage — including brands that are still sorting out their packaging strategy.
