Vertical Packing Machine for Complete Packaging Projects
Compact vertical packing machine for powders, granules, liquids, and small food pouches with practical budget and flexible configuration.
The vertical packing machine is a compact roll-film packaging system for small and medium production. It forms, fills, seals, and cuts bags automatically, and can be matched with auger fillers, cup fillers, pumps, or scales according to the product.
Spack Packaging configures the machine around your product sample, target fill weight, bag size, packaging material, speed requirement, and factory layout. The goal is not only to quote a machine model, but to confirm a workable packaging solution before production.

Quick Highlights
- Compact VFFS solution for common small bags and sachets.
- Works with powder, granule, liquid, paste, and small food products when matched with the correct filler.
- Good choice for limited budget projects that still need automatic forming, filling, and sealing.
- Can be expanded with conveyors, coding, and basic inspection equipment.
Who Is This Machine For?
Best for: Small to medium factories, startup brands, laboratories, and co-packers that need a practical automatic bagging solution with controlled investment.
Not ideal for: Not ideal for very high speed projects or premade zipper pouches. Choose high-speed VFFS or premade pouch systems for those needs.
Typical Applications
- Powder sachets such as spice, coffee powder, and supplement powder
- Granule packs such as sugar, seeds, grains, and tea granules
- Liquid and paste sachets such as sauce, oil, and shampoo
- Small food, medicine, and daily product packs
Packaging Styles and Configuration Options
| Packaging option | What it means | When to choose it |
|---|---|---|
| Pillow bag | Basic roll-film bag | Most common and cost-effective format. |
| Three-side / four-side seal | Small sachet configuration | Depends on machine model and sealing design. |
| Stick or narrow bag | Slim pack format | Possible with suitable model and forming parts. |
| Small gusset bag | Improved package shape | Optional for selected sizes. |
How The Machine Works
- Product is prepared in the selected filler.
- Roll film is guided through the machine and formed into a bag shape.
- The product is dosed into the formed bag.
- Vertical and horizontal sealing close the pack.
- The finished bag is cut, discharged, and conveyed for collection.

Compatible Materials and Package Testing
Packaging material must be checked together with the machine. Spack Packaging can review film or pouch samples, seal temperature range, cutting quality, mark tracking, bag opening behavior, and finished pack appearance before confirming the final configuration.
Film width depends on bag width, sealing style, and forming collar.
Complete Line Components
- Feeding systems: elevator, screw conveyor, vacuum feeder, hopper, working platform, or customized infeed.
- Dosing systems: auger filler, volumetric cup, pump, multihead weigher, linear weigher, electronic scale, or custom system.
- Coding and traceability: date printer, inkjet, thermal transfer printer, QR code, or batch marking.
- Inspection systems: checkweigher, metal detector, rejection system, and vision inspection options.
- End-of-line equipment: conveyors, counting table, rotary collection, cartoning, case packing, and buffer handling.
Information Needed For Quotation
| Information | Why it is needed | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Product type | Confirms dosing method. | Powder, granule, liquid, paste, or small food. |
| Filling weight | Defines filler range and accuracy. | Example: 50 g powder. |
| Bag dimensions | Defines machine model and forming collar. | Width x length. |
| Film material | Checks sealability and thickness. | Roll film sample preferred. |
| Budget and output target | Helps choose compact or higher-speed model. | Example: 20-50 bags/min. |
Videos and Sample Results
Before final order confirmation, Spack Packaging can provide testing videos, sample pack photos, and technical feedback based on your product and packaging material. For this machine, the most useful video is normally a test run with your actual product and bag material.

FAQ
Is this suitable for a first automatic packaging machine?
Yes. It is often used when customers need practical automation with a controlled budget.
Can one machine pack powder and liquid?
The main frame may be similar, but the filler, contact parts, and sometimes sealing setup must be changed.
Can I upgrade the line later?
Yes. Feeders, conveyors, coding, and inspection modules can be added based on production growth.
