Powders Packaging

High-Performance Packaging for Powdered & Mixable Products

Powdered products, ranging from drink mixes and supplements to functional and specialty blends, require packaging that protects against moisture, preserves freshness, and delivers convenience for on-the-go consumers. At the same time, brands must stand out in crowded categories where shelf appeal and usability strongly influence purchasing decisions.

CL&D partners with powder and mix brands to deliver durable, visually compelling printed packaging solutions designed to protect product integrity, enhance user experience, and support high-efficiency production.

Flexible Packaging Solutions for Powdered & Liquid Mixes

Powdered and mixable products present unique packaging challenges, including moisture sensitivity, portion control, transportation durability, and regulatory labeling requirements. Flexographic and digital printing provide scalable, cost-effective solutions for both single-serve and multi-serve formats, without compromising print quality or performance.

At CL&D, our printing capabilities deliver:

  • Consistent, high-quality graphics across long production runs
  • Durable inks and films to protect branding and product information
  • Material and structure flexibility for portioned and bulk packaging
  • Enhancement options to elevate shelf presence and consumer appeal

Whether you need the efficiency, consistent color, and durability of high‑volume flexographic printing or the flexibility of digital printing for shorter runs, design changes, seasonal programs, and multiple SKUs, our experienced team works closely with customers to match packaging formats, materials, and printing methods to product characteristics and market goals.

CL&D helps brands optimize stick pack structures for both performance and visual impact.

Gusseted Pouches

Gusseted pouches are well suited for larger serving sizes and multi-use powdered products, such as lemonade mixes, cocktail blends, and specialty beverages. These pouches provide excellent shelf stability and efficient storage.

Advantages include:
