Here, I want the word that denotes a cut in a packet of a shampoo. The cut doesn't necessarily be made by those who purchase such shampoos, but by the manufacturers of a particular company. Such cuts are made in packets of shampoos, so that the people who purchase can easily tear them for the use, without even the need of any scissors.
I don't think that the word "cut" would work here, as it usually denotes making an opening, incision, or wound in (something) with a sharp-edged tool or object.
In this image, you can see a [cut] on the upper right side of the packet.

The technical term is indeed a tear notch as mentioned by Lambie
Greener Corporation in Bayville, New Jersey, USA say
A tear notch makes packages produced on vertical form/fill/seal baggers easier to open. This small slit in the end seal allows consumers to easily tear the film in order to gain access to the product.
The slit is produced by a carbide notch punch that is affixed in the sealing face of the jaw. The carbide material provides exceptional durability, and the jaw mounted design provides significant cost benefits when compared to notch punches that are attached to the machine knife.
The tear notch can be located wherever desired on the end seal of the bag and can be integrated with a tear strip feature or “Open Here†graphics.
Greener corporation mentions a slit
slit: a straight, narrow cut or opening in something
however, the Merriam-Webster dictionary describes slit as
a long narrow cut or opening
Notches on packaging are generally small
You could possibly call it a nick
nick: a small notch, groove, or chip
Turpack, a company which manufactures packaging machines advertises nick knives as a feature on their machines. Referring to tear notches, they say
It is a small cut that extends to the adhesive bead in the edge of the disposable packaging. The package is torn, starting from the notch in order to open it. The product is easily emptied from the formed cavity. Foods, medical products and beverages reach the customer extremely simply and quickly with easy open tear notch. Apart from this, we can produce serrated notch and laser notch.
The type of packet shown in the question is known as a sachet.
Alibaba.com advertises a number of them. Larger sachets are called pouches.

Notch and nick are both good, but slit feels wrong. A slit conjures up the image of a very three-dimensional thing (cylindrical or similar) being cut into with a long and narrow (and possibly also deep) cut: the smallness/narrowness of the cut is only on one (or possibly two) axis. A tear notch, conversely, is small on all axes: it is neither deep, not wide, nor long.

I agree, I suggested slit because Greener Corporation uses it in their brochure. My understanding of the word is a long and narrow cut.

Somehow, it feels less wrong when elaborating on what it is, the way they do the first time (“this small slit in the end sealâ€Â), because you can imagine the sachet being cut with the stereotypical razor-blade-slitting-throat movement to form the notch; but I don’t think that extends well to actually using the word slit for the thing itself. And the second time they use it, saying that a slit is produced by a notch punch… well, that just sounds like lazy writing to me.

@JanusBahsJacquet A "nick" sounds more idiomatic than "notch" to me. But then in Britain "nick" is a versatile word. People who "nick things" end up in "the nick".
