Food Packaging

Fruits are an essential part of our everyday meals-a reason why they're a necessity in most homes. People eat fruits to better and boost their health. And most of us depend on the market to get the ones that we crave to eat. Very few have grown fruits on their properties, bringing fruit farmers into the picture.

The Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) was established under Food Safety and Standards, 2006. It consolidates various acts & orders that, until the formation of the authority, handled food related issues enforced and monitored by various Ministries and Departments.

FSSAI was created to lay down science-based standards for articles of food and as a regulatory body to oversee the manufacture, storage, distribution, sale and import of the same food articles. This ensures availability of safe and healthy food for human consumption.

The packaging sector uses vast machinery and equipment depending on the material or product. Most TV shows that reveal what goes on in production facilities will feature various machinery, one of which is the form fill seal (FFS) machine.

If you're unfamiliar with this type of machinery, it's primarily used for packaging, forming, filling, and sealing packages on the same system. Depending on your business type, the packaging machine plays an important role in ensuring your brand has the right packaging. The two main types of FFS machines are vertical and horizontal.
