What is meant by "Preformed" and what is the difference between a Bag, a Pouch and a Sachet?  Preformed means the machine is not making the container like a FFS machine (Form Fill & Seal).  Sachets are typically small, flat, single-use, four-side-sealed packets usually made of foil or plastic for items like seasonings or condiments. Pouches are larger, more versatile containers that often stand upright, feature gussets, can hold multiple servings, and can be resealed.  The resealing is typically a zipper, but some products can pour from a spout with a reclosing cap.  The machine that fills pouches with zippers or spouted pouches may be similar in many ways, but are designed and built very different when it comes to the components for closing, capping, and sealing. Then there are differences in machines that fill pre-spouted pouches compared to machines that can insert the spout into a pre-formed pouch. Additionally, machines that fill pouches or bags when the fill amount exceeds 1kg differs tremendously from a machine designed to fill amounts that are less than 1kg.

Pouch vs Bag, what are the differences?

Key differences:

Sachets are small, flat, and typically single-use packets various dried products typically less than 100 grams. Pouches are larger, flexible containers, often with gussets or re-sealable zips for multi-use packaging. Bags are general, often larger, flexible containers (like gusseted or stand-up bags) designed to hold larger quantities up to 2kg. Bags with larger fills, typically over 2kg generally lay flat or are put into a box.

Size and Volume: 

Sachets are small and flat (single-dose) and typically less than 100grams, while pouches are generally larger up to 2kg and capable of holding bulkier, multi-use products, and bags generally are for fills from 2kg to 25kg.

Usage: 

Sachets are almost always single-use/disposable. Pouches and bags are frequently used for multiple servings or applications.

Structure:

Sachets are 2-dimensional (flat). Pouches can be 3-dimensional featuring gussets to stand up on shelves, while bags can lay flat or go into a box.

Resealability:

Pouches often feature zippers, spouts, or tears for convenience, while sachets are designed for one-time, tear-open use. Bags typically have a screw cap or self-closing spout
