Montreal, Canada – In a significant stride toward greener packaging practices, WeighPack Systems has unveiled its latest innovation: the VersaPak vertical form fill and seal (VFFS) machine now running seamlessly with paper-based film. This development marks a breakthrough for small-format packaging operations aiming to reduce their reliance on plastic, without compromising performance or efficiency.
The VersaPak, touted as the world’s smallest tabletop VFFS bagger, has been making waves across industries for its simplicity, flexibility, and surprising power given its compact size. With the ability to handle a broad range of products from fresh produce and snack foods to hardware and baked goods the VersaPak is built for versatility. Now, by integrating recyclable and compostable paper films, WeighPack delivers on the rising demand for eco-conscious packaging solutions.
Paper film packaging, with its natural look and strong sustainability credentials, is quickly becoming a top choice for brands prioritizing environmental responsibility. By enabling the use of this material in a small, affordable, and easy to operate platform, VersaPak is helping to democratize sustainable packaging making it accessible to startups, institutional packers, small batch producers, and labs alike.
Despite its desktop-friendly footprint, the VersaPak doesn’t skimp on features. It supports bag widths from 2 to 8 inches and lengths from 2 to 12 inches, and works with standard flat roll stock to produce professional-quality pouches with top, bottom, and vertical seals. Its built in printer integration adds yet another layer of functionality, allowing for real-time coding of lot numbers, expiration dates, or QR codes directly onto each pouch ideal for traceability, promotions, or product info access.
