Vertical form-fill-seal for pillow bag packaging
In the confectionery, snacks, and nuts industries, maintaining product integrity during packaging is crucial. Conventional packing processes often result in damaged products and inefficient fill times. A better packaging solution is needed for high-speed operations that demand accuracy and minimal waste.
