Frequently Asked Questions about Horizontal Packing Solutions
Q: What is horizontal packing and how does it differ from vertical packing?
A: Horizontal packing feeds products flat on a conveyor through a film-wrapping station, sealing on three or four sides to create a pillow bag or flow wrap. It is ideal for solid, flat, or individually wrapped items—unlike vertical packing which drops products into a forming tube. Horizontal wrappers excel at packaging chocolates, candy bars, baked goods, and hardware.
Q: Can the machine integrate with feeding conveyors and heat shrink tunnels?
A: Yes. Many of our models include an inclined feeding conveyor for automatic product infeed, and can be paired with heat shrink tunnels for tight-film retail packaging. The output conveyor can feed directly into checkweighers, metal detectors, or cartoning machines.
Q: What products are best suited for horizontal pillow bag packing?
A: Solid items with a consistent shape—candy, chocolate bars, toffee, biscuits, tea bags, hardware parts, wet wipes, and medical devices. Film options include BOPP, CPP, and heat-shrinkable PE for different barrier and clarity requirements.
