Flow Wrap

Why flow wrapping?

Flow wrapping, also referred to as horizontal form fill and seal (HFFS), is your versatile and cost-effective packaging technique for high-volume packaging operations. 

The process wraps a product in a clear or printed Polyolefin, polypropylene, or laminate film, forming a 3-sided seal package to produce a light and flexible package. There are three broad types of flow wrapping you can choose from; form-fill-seal, shrink wrap packaging, and stretch film packaging. The type you choose will depend on your product characteristics and packaging goals.

Flow Wrapping is a Practical, Versatile Option

Flow wrapping is used in primary packaging of individual or grouped products, to bundle loose products for retail sale or shipping, as well as in secondary packaging operations to replace the carton. You can flow wrap a large variety of products from cupcakes to syringes and thousands of products in between.

Flow wrapping is well-suited for primary packaging of individual products that can be both flat and irregularly shaped. A flow wrapper is ideal for foods including chocolate, energy, and cereal bars, biscuits, crackers, dried foods, and fresh produce.

Medical products such as surgical instruments and syringes can be sterilely wrapped. You can also flow wrap a large variety of common household and consumer goods such as napkins and cleaning materials.


Additionally, your marketing team will reap the benefits of increased branding, printable instructions, or unobstructed views of the product if desired.
