Detailed Product Description

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.

Key Features

Feature	What It Does	Why It Matters
Tear notch	Creates a weak point for easy opening	One-motion opening, no tools needed
Multi-layer film	Blocks oxygen, moisture, light	Extends shelf life
Heat seal	Hermetically closes the packet	No leaks, no contamination
Custom printing	Displays brand, product info, instructions	Marketing and usability

Common Sizes

Volume	Dimensions (typical)	Best For
5ml	30 x 50mm	Sample, ultra-small portion
9ml	35 x 60mm	Standard ketchup packet (McDonald's size)
10ml	38 x 65mm	Common condiment size
15ml	40 x 70mm	Larger portion, honey, syrup
20ml	45 x 75mm	Premium condiments, dressings
30ml	50 x 85mm	Honey, puree, single-serve juice

Custom sizes available

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
