CLEAR SACHETS
SoccerStarz had built up a successful partnership with supermarket chain CO-OP, with the stores carrying their foil bag and blister pack products. CO-OP requested a keener price pointed product to sell, similar in price to the foil bag but with the same ability as the blister pack which offered visibility of the figure you were purchasing, and so the Clear Sachet was born.
​
The SoccerStarz Clear Sachet was a plastic packet with a clear window in the centre, allowing the figure to be seen, which allowed the customer to see the exact figure they were buying. The SoccerStarz Clear Sachet product was exclusively sold in CO-OP stores, displayed in stores on what is known in the trade as a 'clip strip' those thin clear plastic strips that hang down in the aisles.
The SoccerStarz Clear Sachet was first introduced as part of the 2014/15 Collection and also carried over into including figures from the 2015/16 Collection.
As with the Foil Bag, Manchester United had their own club packaging clear sachet, with the rest of the teams being featured on a generic yellow packaging design, the same style as the 2015 Edition foil bag.
The figures inside the Clear Sachet were all on a Green base, however these did not contain any collector cards or collectors file either. The RRP price of a Clear Sachet was £2.50, making it cheaper than a Blister Pack, which was priced at around £2.99-3.99 and with the Collector Cards no longer present in the blister packs (with the exception of the 2 German Bundesliga sides) some collectors switched to buying the clear sachet, as it was a cheaper way to acquire the figure.
Every effort has been made to ensure the information here is as concise and accurate as possible, however if you have a clear sachet of a figure not shown, please get in touch - craig@corinthianarchive.co.uk
