With Levapack as your partner, trusted expertise for solving production challenges, improving product competitiveness, and distinguishing yourself in a saturated market is at hand.

Mainstream Protein Powder Formats: Characteristics & Selection Considerations

When choosing packaging for protein powder, an in-depth understanding of the inherent characteristics, advantages, and potential limitations of different containers is crucial. The following provides an objective analysis of three mainstream formats.

rigid jar

Rigid Jars/Tubs

This is the most classic form of large packaging for protein powders, usually made of HDPE/PET. Its main advantages are the high physical protection and the wide mouth design for easy access (including scoops). The main considerations are the large size, lack of portability, and the need to pay attention to the barrier properties of the plastic itself and the reliability of the inner seal to prevent moisture.

Premade Stand-Up Pouches

A staple of modern retailing, this flexible packaging is lightweight, flexible and offers excellent brand presentation. Its core attraction is the convenient integration of a re-sealable zipper and (on-demand) one-way venting valve, which enhances the user experience and freshness retention. When choosing, focus on the barrier rating of the laminate.

Single-Serve Sachets/Sticks

With a focus on ultimate portability and precise doses, single-serve sachets are the ideal vehicle for trial, travel, or specially formulated products that are hygienic and easy to use. Its main limitation is that the packaging cost per gram is significantly higher than in larger formats, so it is generally not a major retail packaging option for high-volume protein powder products.

Can Rotary Infeed / Outfeed Rotary Table

Container Handling & Preparation

Production lines are powered by Levapack’s highly efficient automated feeding systems. Our systems, such as rotary bottle/can tables or automatic bag feeders, handle all types of containers, including common plastic bottles, cans or prefabricated bags, and ensure that containers are fed into the designated stations in a precise and orderly manner. Depending on your specific hygiene requirements, the line can be integrated with an in-line cleaning or sterilizing unit to prepare the line for subsequent aseptic or high-cleanliness filling.

Servo-Precision Filling

Once the container is in place, it is time to move on to the heart of the filling process, where Levapack utilizes advanced servo-driven screw filling technology. This system is specially optimized for protein powders, which may vary in fluidity. The servomotor’s precise control of the screw rotation enables constant and stable dosing at the ±1g level with a high degree of accuracy. This not only ensures the exact amount of protein powder in each serving, but also effectively reduces the waste of valuable raw materials. Protein powders are often static and hygroscopic, and our filling system has been optimized for these characteristics to ensure smooth and accurate filling.

Application of Advanced Preservation Technology

To maximize the quality and flavor of protein powders, the Levapack line offers the flexibility to integrate powerful freshness handling modules. Prior to the sealing process, the system performs a highly efficient vacuum extraction program to remove most of the air, followed by a precisely controlled nitrogen fill to ensure that the residual oxygen inside the package is strictly controlled to less than 3%. This is essential to maintain the dryness of the protein powder and prevent oxidative deterioration.

Assembly Line

High-Performance Sealing & Closing

After filling and necessary preservation treatments, the containers are transferred to Levapack’s high-performance sealing or capping units.

  • For plastic bottles or jars, an intelligent capper or capper will seal with precise, pre-set torque or pressure (and, if required, an optional aluminum foil induction seal, which adds an extra layer of sealing security against moisture and contamination).
  • For pre-made pouches, a versatile heat sealing system (compatible with zipper function) will provide a high quality heat seal with high strength and a flat appearance. A high quality heat seal is essential to keep protein powders airtight and prevent leakage.
