A VFFS vertical form fill seal packing machine is a type of automated assembly-line product packaging system, commonly used in the packaging industry for food, and a wide variety of other products.
What is VFFS?
What Are the Models of Machine
The models of VFFS packaging machines are divided into 320, 420, 520, and 620, which are incremented according to the number of 100, and the largest model is 1020. These values represent the maximum film width (pouch unfolded), in other words, the bagging system available to handle the largest film width.. And prefixed brand and VFFS to these values to compose the VFFS models.
The Left Picture (click to enlarge) shows the detailed model parameters, including the VFFS manufacturer, the largest suitable film, and which metering and dosing system is equipped.
The biggest difference between these VFFS models is the width of the applicable film, please check the following parameters chapter or Inquiry Us to provide you with the most suitable solution.

What Pouch Styles can VFFS be Formed?
Wide variety of the pouch styles that VFFS machine can produce such as Pillow Bag, Pillow Gusset Bag, Continuous Bags and 3-sided Seal Bag those are used in dependence on the product shape and nature etc.
Please refer the photo of bag forms are the following:
Pillow Bag (Back Center Seal)
As per the name of the Pillow Bags (Back Center Seal), it forms the shape of a pillow. Once filled, it balloons from the middle and flattens out at the top and bottom seals.

Three side seal bags allow more room for graphics with the elimination of the center back seal. Case packing and cartoning are simple and convenient with this bag style. Also known as a flat pouch, the 3 Side seal is Form Fill Seal Packaging to alternative of pre-made pouch.
Pillow Gusset Bag
Gusset Bags are flexible bags with an added piece of fabric called a “Gusset” to expand the bags’ original capacity. Moreover, the Gusset can create more volume and strengthen the bags’ structure. A Gusset Bag’s three basic measurements are its width, height, and bottom Gusset.
Block Bottom Seal
Stand-up Block Bottom Bags, central or offset back seal, whole range of reclosable features available. It combines the benefits of a traditional side gusseted bag and stand-up pouch and rolls it into a package that sits narrow on the shelf, doesn't tip over, and squares up like a box.
Continuous Bags
Continuous multiple pouch chained in a row. The number of serialized bags can be set as required.
Center Seal Stick
Center Seal Stick is also a form of back center seal packaging, which is usually a larger ratio of length to width.
