In the packaging and consumer goods industry, efficiency and quality are essential to remain competitive. At ePac flexible packaging, we are committed to providing innovative and practical packaging solutions to meet the diverse needs of our clients. In this article, we will explore in detail the techniques for filling and sealing pouches.
1. Preformed packaging ready to use
Time and resources are valuable elements for consumer goods brands. That is why ePac offers preformed packaging solutions ready to use. Unlike traditional packaging that requires assembly and preparation, our preformed packaging is ready to be filled upon receipt.
This innovative solution allows our clients to save valuable time by eliminating tedious preparation steps, while reducing costs associated with labour and materials. Thanks to our doypack pouches and lay-flat pouches, you can maximise the efficiency of your packaging process while ensuring the quality of your products.
2. How to fill your pouches efficiently
Our doypack pouches and preformed flat pouches are designed to offer maximum ease of use, even without the use of specialised machines. Thanks to their stable shape and wide opening, the pouches can be filled in three simple steps:
1. Open the zip located at the top of the packaging to create a sufficiently large opening.
2. Fill the pouch with your product, ensuring not to fill it completely to allow for proper closure.
3. Close the zip to seal the pouch hermetically.
This intuitive approach allows our customers to easily and quickly fill their pouches without requiring specialised equipment.
3. Preserve the freshness of your products with a secure closure
The quality and freshness of products are essential imperatives for any business. That is why, in addition to the zip closure offered on ePac pouches, we strongly recommend our customers use heat sealing for their packaging.
By using a heat sealer, our customers have the ability to seal their pouches in a hermetic and tamper-proof manner. This method thus ensures optimal preservation of aroma as well as product safety. Our doypack pouches and preformed flat pouches are designed with films specially adapted for heat sealing.
4. Types of machines for sealing your plastic pouch
When considering investing in a heat sealing machine for your packaging business, it is crucial to take into account the size of your company and your specific needs. Here are some tips to guide you in your choice:
– Manual heat sealing machine: This option is particularly suitable for small and medium-sized businesses. Easy to use and requiring no prior technical expertise, this machine offers a practical solution for sealing bags.
– Semi-automatic sealing machine: If your business operates on a larger scale, a semi-automatic sealing machine may be a wise choice. Designed for medium to large production sites, this machine offers an efficient and quick solution for sealing bags. It can help optimise your packaging operations by ensuring a secure and airtight closure.
