Filling Processes
Our range of packaging can be designed to accommodate any filling process, ensuring compatibility, efficiency, and product integrity. From ambient fills to advanced sterilization techniques like aseptic and HPP, we provide tailored solutions to meet your specific needs. Some of the filling process we expertise in include:
Ambient Fill (VFFS)
Vertical Form Fill Seal (VFFS) is a cost-effective filling process suitable for products stored at room temperature, such as snacks, powders, and dry goods. This method involves forming a vertical package, filling the product, and sealing it in one continuous operation.
Ambient Fill (HFFS)
Horizontal Form Fill Seal (HFFS) is ideal for room-temperature products like bakery items, confectioneries, or ready-to-eat foods. It uses horizontally fed films to create pouches or flow packs, ensuring efficient and precise packaging.
Aseptic
A sterile filling process designed to extend the shelf life of liquid and semi-liquid products without preservatives. Commonly used for dairy, plant-based beverages, soups, and juices, this process ensures a contamination-free environment by sterilizing both the product and the packaging.
Cold Fill
A low-temperature filling process used for beverages and other chilled products that require minimal heat exposure to maintain their natural flavor, texture, and nutritional value. Ideal for carbonated drinks, juices, and fresh food items.
Heat Pasteurization
A thermal process that heats products to a specific temperature for a set time to eliminate harmful pathogens while preserving taste, texture, and nutritional value. Frequently used for milk, juices, and ready-to-eat meals.
Hot Fill
A filling method where products are heated to high temperatures for sterilization before filling into sterilized packaging. This process is commonly used for sauces, jams, condiments, and shelf-stable beverages, ensuring a longer shelf life.
Retort
A high-pressure and high-temperature sterilization process used for ready-to-eat meals, soups, and canned goods. The retort process ensures extended shelf life while maintaining the product’s flavor, nutrients, and texture.
HPP (High-Pressure Processing)
A cutting-edge cold pasteurization technique that uses high water pressure to inactivate pathogens without heat. Ideal for maintaining the freshness, flavor, and nutritional integrity of juices, smoothies, guacamole, and deli meats.
