General industry terminology
Common pouch-format names you may hear when discussing VFFS.
These are general packaging-industry examples, not claims that every S.K. Packaging machine supports every format. Actual pouch compatibility must be confirmed for the selected configuration.
A common VFFS format made from roll film, typically with a longitudinal back seal and top/bottom seals.
General industry format. Confirm the exact seal arrangement, finished pouch dimensions and film specification with the selected machine supplier.
A pouch with side or bottom gusseting used where additional pack volume or a different shelf shape is required.
Not every VFFS machine supports gusset forming. Confirm the required attachment and the actual pouch dimensions before ordering.
Structured bag styles can be produced on suitably configured vertical systems for applications that need a more defined pack shape.
This requires a suitable machine configuration and should never be assumed from the term VFFS alone.
