What to Look for in Packaging at Natural Products Expo West 2016

Danielle Ohl
  Natural Products Expo West starts this Friday, and we're thrilled to be showing off our innovative packaging solutions for natural products, sustainable packaging, and buy-for-life machinery needs. We'll be bringing two popular machines in the food industry as well as examples of some flexible packaging types. Bringing it all together will be discussions as to the seal integrity and efficiency provided by all of our machinery, especially important for producers of organic and natural products. Here's what we're bringing with us to the show:
  • Rotary Premade Pouch Machine VM-8S-235
  • Stick Pack ST200
  • Premade stand up pouch
  • Stick pack pouch

Rotary Premade Pouch VM-8S-235

At the Viking Masek booth #225, you can anticipate seeing and experiencing packaging-in-action with our Rotary Premade Pouch Machine VM-8S-235. This machine is made to package snacks, cereals, dried fruits, and even liquids. Highly durable with a welded steel frame, it - like our entire machinery line - is made to last, decreasing the amount of work needed for operation and ensuring its sustainability. This machine features touch screen operation as well as an important two-step sealing process for guaranteed clean sealing and freshness. 

We know that low-maintenance and sustainable machinery that's built to last must also meet the absolute most important need of our clients: the need for freshness and seal integrity. This is especially important when foods don't have preservatives: You need the packaging to really step up to maintain the quality of the food being produced. 

Our Rotary Premade Pouch Machine VM-8S-235 provides that clean seal for pouch integrity, and in addition to the machine itself, we'll be showing examples of its bag type: the premade stand up pouch. With the demand for flexible premade pouches growing very quickly, we expect that many will be interested in this bag type as demand for natural and organic products also grows and companies are expanding production.

FASTech will be showcasing their new PACKprint Enabler on our Stick Pack ST200 machine. This new technology from FASTech allows a manufacturer/packager to uniquely identify (serialize) each package coming off an assembly or packaging line with an encrypted code called the PACKprint ID (PPID). Combining our packaging machinery with innovative new printing technologies gives manufacturers and packagers the ability to transform their packaging process, from field to fork.

The VFFS ST200 is a versatile machine built for packaging single-serve (stick) packages of liquids or dried or granulated goods such as supplements, protein powders, gels, snacks, or drink mixes. This machine is one of our most popular due to its many uses and the efficiencies it allows producers. 

As you can see, we're excited to showcase our durable machinery and packaging options to those attending Natural Products Expo West! We hope you'll stop by to have a look and learn more about how packaging automation and machinery options can help expand the production of your natural product business. Please use our convenient registration page to let us know you will be attending the NPEW trade show. We look forward to talking with you!
