FORM FILL & SEAL
For the packaging of a variety of liquids and powders, Big Brands offers filling services that cater to a number of applications including food & beverages, as well as personal care products and nutraceuticals. Products can be filled in a variety of container styles, including bottles, jars and pouches according to your specific requirements. In addition, date stamping and product identification markers such as pressure sensitive labels are also offered. Besides packaging liquids and powders, we also package tablets and other solids. Products are blended, mixed, and formulated in compliance with customer specifications prior to filling in containers. As filling services are performed on automatic and semi-automatic lines, we are able to offer both small and high volume production runs. Our tamper evident shrink wrapping ensures safety of the product until it reaches the consumer.

What is Horizontal form filling and sealing?
Form filling and sealing is an automated assembly line process that uses film by sliding on a horizontal plane in which the ends are cut from side to side to produce a type of sealed pouch. As the machinery folds and seals the film into a pouch, it simultaneously fills in the product, thus creating a type of sealed bag that may contain any wet or dry product.

Horizontal form fill and seal capabilities:
 • Custom designed packaging based on its contents for the ideal product
• Special die-cut shapes and/or hang holes.
• Lot code, tear notch, and 3 or 4 side seal application
• Converting of several types of materials, such as special barrier films accommodating 
 sizes from 2” to 8” wide and 2” to 12” high
