Horizontal and Vertical Form Filling and Sealing Packaging Services

Form filling and sealing is an automated assembly line process that uses film (or other material) to produce a type of sealed pouch. As the machinery folds and seals the film into a pouch, it simultaneously fills in the product, thus creating a type of sealed bag that may contain any wet or dry product. There are 2 types of form fill and seal: vertical form fill and seal (VFFS), and horizontal form fill and seal (HFFS).

Vertical form fill and seal involves the sealing of product on a vertical plane, going from up to down in which ends are cut from bottom to top.

Horizontal form fill and seal involves the sealing of product by sliding on a horizontal plane in which ends are cut from side to side.
