    Vertical packaging, also known as Vertical Form Fill Seal (VFFS), is a process for producing sealed bags from a flat packaging film roll. A vertical tube is formed and filled with the product from above using gravity. The bag is then formed and sealed. Vertical packaging is suitable for a wide variety of products: From various food products to to other consumer goods.

    Syntegon's VFFS packaging machines are suitable for a wide variety of products: snacks, confectionery, baked goods, frozen food, powder products, coffee, tea, cheese and various non-food products. Every product has different characteristics. The machine and the packaging material must fulfil the specific requirements in order to guarantee freshness and product safety. 

    Syntegon offers different types of VFFS packaging machines for various products:
    Continuous motion machines: Work without interruption of the film transport between packaging cycles for higher production speeds. Ideal for high volumes and more efficiency.

    Intermittent motion machines: Alternate between film transport and sealing. Particularly suitable for large products with high target weight when precision is more critical than output per minute.

    Which VFFS machine is right for you depends on various factors – primarily your product. It also depends on what bag types you want to package your product in, their size, and how high the output and performance of your machine needs to be.

Our experts will help you select the optimal configuration for your product.
