Packaging machines are indispensable tools to package products effectively and safely. They are used in many different sectors, so it's critical to choose the type of machine that best suits your needs. Depending on what is produced, and how it is packaged, it will be appropriate to choose one or more types of machines capable of responding to the ever-new needs of the market. There are a few factors to consider to choose the best solution for your production process.
What industry does the company operate in?

Some sectors, particularly food and pharmaceuticals, need to meet certain hygienic standards, imposed and controlled by national and international regulations.

- Industrial: for the welding industry, lube oil
What kind of packages are produced? What material are used?
One more factor to consider when choosing the packaging machine is the packaging style and the packaging materials. Packaging style choice depends on the product and other factors – how nice packs are expected to look but also how easy and convenient the packaging process shall be. As a result, the choice of the packaging machine must take into account several elements:
- Stability of the packages
- Material resistance, that is, whether it is solid or fragile and deformable, such as the flow pack
- The shape of the packaging, which can be particular and difficult to handle, such as the Doypack®
- Quantity, and therefore whether single or multipack packages will be produced
- Additional accessories: if you are inserting smaller, difficult-to-handle parts, such as gadgets
