New designs in food packaging are constantly being developed and introduced to consumers. While these new trends are sharp and eye-catching, product nevertheless needs to get inside – and that can be tricky at times with smaller openings and different packaging sizes.
Many of these newer package designs are still filled using a vertical form-fill-seal (VFFS) bag machine and auger filler. For food manufacturers and packagers, these machines are a major purchase that can take months to accurately specify, quote, build and deliver. The process can become easier by improving communication between the vendors and customer early in the design stages. This will make that process a much quicker and smoother experience for everyone involved – and deliver an FFS machine that’s ready for action the first day it’s installed.
