For snack food and select baked goods producers today, flexibility is the most sought-after feature of form/fill/seal (FFS) packaging equipment. Manufacturers also seek modular designs that provide scalable solutions and flexible layout configurations.
This is all due to the wide variety of interchangeable bag styles—flat-bottom, gusset, four corner seal, edge back seal and pillow—that consumers look for at retail today. Food processors also are seeking machines that can handle high-quality materials and keep waste to a minimum.
