Our Packaging Process
The manufacturing process that the company uses to manufacture its products is the ‘Form-Fill-And-Seal’ principle. T
he process involves a pre-designed reel of printed packaging material converted by specialized machinery into a sachet bag that is simultaneously filled with product. The most common sachet being, a four-sided sealed sachet and stick or pillow-pack that has gained increasing popularity over the last few years.
The company has both vertical and horizontal form-fill-seal packaging machines. Other machines operated by the company includes hand-and-foot sealing machines, mixers and a bottle liquid filling machine which makes the company versatile and flexible in its many manufacturing applications.
Manual packaging solution options are also offered where production outputs are limited.
Our Food Packaging Contract Services Materials Used
