2025 Packaging World E-Book Sales Qualifying Questions

Considerations for Running New-Era Materials on Existing or Older Equipment
Baggers, vf/f/s, hf/f/s, and flow-wrappers traditionally use multi-layer flexible packaging for food products needing durability. Recently, new materials like mono-material, paper-based, and compostable films have emerged. Existing equipment is optimized for robust materials, but newer materials are more brittle and require different sealing conditions. This e-book explores if and how equipment can be modified or retrofitted to handle these new materials and the impact on production speeds.
