Form Fill Seal Packaging Film Guide
Form fill seal packaging film must work with the machine as much as it works with the product.
Form fill seal packaging film should be matched to vertical or horizontal machine requirements, including film stiffness, sealant, COF, web width, repeat, tracking, temperature window, and product protection needs.
TL;DR
- Vertical and horizontal FFS lines can require different film behavior.
- Seal window and COF influence line speed and waste.
- Printed rollstock needs accurate repeat and registration controls.
Decision table
| Machine factor | Packaging impact | Question |
|---|---|---|
| VFFS/HFFS | Film forming behavior | What format is formed? |
| Seal jaws | Sealant choice | What temperature range? |
| Film travel | COF and stiffness | Any slipping or curling? |
| Registration | Print accuracy | Eye mark and repeat specs |
