Kê-tsiap, that’s the original name of our beloved table condiment, comes from southern China, and, here ye, at first it was tomato-free. It was a sauce made with fermented fish. After a long journey through England and America, the recipe of the tomato-based ketchup we know came to us. But how is it made?

You can choose to pack your ketchup in pouches, sachets, tubes, or bottles and it’s important to close your package quickly after filling to avoid contamination or spilling. Capping or other closing systems such as seals are often installed in the same filling system. When filling glass or plastic bottles containers in line, crew caps, lug caps or snap-on are placed after filling up to the desired weight or height.
