Ketchup Portion Pack with Tear Notch | Single-Serve Condiment Sachet for Fast Food, Takeout & Catering
Custom printed laminated packaging for liquids, juice & puree. Also available with spout & cap.
The Complete Guide to Portion Pack Packaging
From fast food ketchup to premium honey pouches - discover the engineering behind these essential packaging solutions.
Introduction: The Little Packet That Does Big Business
Walk into any McDonald's, Burger King, or KFC around the world and you'll find small packets of ketchup on every tray. These unassuming packets are marvels of packaging engineering - keeping ketchup fresh for months, surviving shipping across oceans, opening with a gentle pull, and dispensing exactly the right amount.
Our factory produces these packets and much more. The same technology that keeps fast food ketchup fresh can also package honey, juices, purees, and other liquid products. We can add spouts and caps for larger formats, custom print your brand in up to 10 colors, and engineer films to block oxygen, moisture, and light.

What Is a Portion Pack with Tear Notch?
Definition
A portion pack (also called a sachet or condiment packet) is a small, flexible pouch designed for single-use portions of liquid or semi-liquid products. The tear notch is a small cut or indentation on the edge of the packet that allows easy opening without tools.

The Tear Notch - Small Detail, Big Impact
What Is a Tear Notch?
A tear notch is a small cut or V-shaped indentation on the sealed edge that creates a stress concentration point. When pulled from the notch, the film tears cleanly along a straight line.
Types of Tear Notches
Type Description Best For
V-notch V-shaped cut into the seal edge Most common, easy to manufacture
Laser score Precise thinning of the film Premium packs, clean tear
Side notch Notch on the side edge Wide packs, easy gripping
Corner notch Notch at the corner Small packs, intuitive opening
Why Tear Notch Matters for Fast Food
  • Speed: Customers open packets in seconds, not minutes
  • Cleanliness: No need to bite packets open
  • Consistency: Every packet tears the same way
  • Safety: No sharp edges, no flying plastic pieces
