Sachet

A sachet (pronounced sa-shay) is a small disposable bag, often used to contain single-use quantities of consumer goods, such as ketchup or shampoo. A sachet can also be a fabric bag containing pot pourri.

Sale of small amounts of shampoo and detergents, in plastic sachets is very popular throughout the Philippines, India and other Eastern countries.

In culinary terms, a culinary sachet is a small cloth bag made of cheesecloth, containing various herbs and spices (typically bay leaf, thyme, parsley stems, and black peppercorns) used to infuse flavor into stocks. Mulling spice sachets containing cinnamon, cloves, allspice and orange peel are popular in the winter for flavoring ciders and wines.

Plastic sachet was first used by Cavin Kare Company to pack their shampoos. The company failed to file a patent and hence does not own the intellectual property. Scented paper envelope sachet containing scented potpourri, vermiculite and powdered fragrance compounds was introduced by Countryside Herb Farms in 1979. Sachet envelopes are used in automobiles, closets and households for aromatherapy fragrance or room deodorizer air fresheners. Sachets bags are also filled with loose spices as a simmering potpourri for stove top simmering.
