How Does Flow Wrapping Work?

Flow wrapping is vertical bagging’s close cousin. While vertical bagging uses Vertical Form Fill and Seal (VFFS) automation, flow wrapping is also known as Horizontal Form Fill and Seal (HFFS). The process begins with a long roll of film fed horizontally through a machine. One end of the film is heat-sealed closed, forming a pouch. The pouch is filled with the product and the other end is sealed. The entire process is automated, making it quick and efficient.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT OUR FLOW WRAPPING SERVICES

What types of products can be flow wrapped?

 Flow wrapping is commonly used for already-manufactured consumer packaged goods, healthcare products, personal care items, promotional products, and retail multipacks. It provides a clean, protective wrap that helps improve presentation, product integrity, and retail readiness.

Flow wrapping can be adapted to handle a wide range of product shapes, sizes, and sensitivities. Whether products are delicate, uniquely shaped, or part of a multi-component package, the process is designed to maintain product integrity and presentation.

We prevent poor seals and wrinkled film through proper equipment setup, film selection, preventive maintenance, and routine quality checks. Our focus is on producing secure, consistent packaging with a clean retail appearance.

We can support recyclable and other sustainable film options depending on the product and packaging requirements. Material selection is based on performance, product protection, branding, and sustainability goals.

Flow wrapping works best when products need tamper evidence, product protection, bundling, or a clean retail-ready appearance. It works especially well for individually wrapped products, promotional packaging, and retail multipacks.
