What are packaging machines?

Packaging machines, also called packing machines or wrapping machines, form or pick up the pack, fill it with the product dose and seal it automatically, at the pace of the production line. Packaging machinery also includes the equipment that works before and after the packaging machine: dosers and weighers, quality control, case packing and palletising.

At YM Packaging we build packaging machinery for flexible packs (bags, doypacks, sachets, sticks and large bags), rigid packs (jars, bottles and jerrycans) and the end of line.

Packaging machinery for every product

Each product needs a different doser, and the packaging machine is combined with the one that handles it best:

  • Powders (flour, ground coffee, protein): auger filler.
  • Granules and solids (snacks, nuts, frozen food): multihead weigher or volumetric filler.
  • Liquids and sauces: dosing pump.

Besides the food industry, we build packaging machinery for industrial products and non-food products, such as charcoal, balloons or rubber bands. See our packaging solutions by sector.

Automatic packaging machines and equipment: the complete line

Automatic packaging machines perform best when they work in line with the rest of the packaging equipment:

  1. Infeed and dosing: elevators, multihead weighers and fillers.
  2. Packaging: vertical, horizontal, flow wrapping or sachet and stick machine.
  3. Quality control: metal detector and checkweigher.
  4. Case packing: case erector, bag inserter and case sealer.
  5. Palletising: cartesian palletiser, robot or cobot.

We deliver the complete turnkey line, from dosing to pallet.

How to choose the right packaging machinery

  • Product: powder, granules, solid or liquid, and whether it is fragile or sticky.
  • Pack: pillow bag, doypack, sachet, stick, large bag or jar.
  • Output: packs per minute today and in a few years.
  • Formats: how many sizes and products you will pack and how often you change.
  • Space and integration with the machines you already have.

Read our guide to choosing a packaging machine or tell us about your project and we will recommend the machine.

Frequently asked questions

What are packaging machines?

They are machines that form or pick up the pack, fill it with the product dose and seal it automatically. The most common are vertical, horizontal and flow wrapping machines.

What types of industrial packaging machines do you build?

Vertical (VFFS), horizontal and doypack, flow wrapping, sachet and stick machines, bagging machines and jar fillers, plus multihead weighers, quality control, case packing and palletising.

What is the difference between packing and packaging machinery?

The terms are used almost as synonyms. Packing machines usually fill and seal the pack, while packaging machinery also covers secondary packaging and the end of line, such as case packing and palletising.

Are your packaging machines automatic?

Yes. Our automatic packaging machines form or pick up the pack, fill it, seal it and discharge it without manual work; the operator loads the reel or the pouches and supervises the machine from the screen.

Do you build packaging machinery for industrial products?

Yes. Besides the food industry, we pack non-food products such as charcoal, balloons or rubber bands.

How much does a packaging machine cost?

It depends on the type of machine, the doser, the options and whether it is part of a line. Tell us about your project and we will prepare a tailored quote.

What does an industrial packaging line include?

Dosing, packaging, quality control, case packing and palletising. We can supply just the packaging machine or the complete turnkey line.

We design the complete line

Weighing, packing, quality control, case packing and palletising from one supplier.
