Pillow-pack centre-seal pouches for high-speed FFS lines and flat 3-side seal pouches for precision single-serve dosing — engineered to minimise material cost per unit without cutting seal reliability.
Centre-seal (fin-seal) pouches are formed on a form-fill-seal machine as a continuous pillow pack, with a single back seam running down the centre — the same principle as a flow-wrap. 3-side seal pouches are pre-made flat pouches, sealed on the left, right, and bottom, with the top left open for filling and final sealing on your line. Both formats use less film per unit than gusseted or stand-up pouches, which is why they dominate high-volume, cost-sensitive categories.
Centre-seal is the standard for sugar, salt, spices, biscuits, wafers, and other commodity products running on continuous horizontal or vertical FFS lines. 3-side seal pouches are preferred where dosing precision matters — single-serve sachets for pharma, cosmetics, sauces, ketchup, and condiment portions — because the pouch arrives pre-formed and only needs a top seal after filling.
Both formats can be run as single- or multi-layer laminates depending on barrier need, and centre-seal in particular is commonly specified in perforated strips for multi-sachet retail packs.
At high volume, small inefficiencies in film cost or line speed compound fast — this is where format choice pays off.
At high volume, a 2% seal-failure rate is a real cost line — our film and sealant selection is built to keep that number down.
Each application has a different tolerance for seal failure and a different pressure on material cost.
