In the fast-evolving packaging industry, Doypack packaging machines have become the go-to solution for brands seeking attractive, durable, and efficient pouch packaging. However, choosing the right machine for your specific product is critical to achieving optimal results. Whether you’re packaging liquids, powders, granules, or solids, this guide will help you make an informed decision.
At DBAO Packaging Machinery, we specialize in manufacturing high-quality, custom Doypack machines tailored to your product and production needs.
1. Understand Your Product Type
The first step is to evaluate the physical characteristics of your product:
- Liquid or semi-liquid: sauces, juices, soups, oils
- Powder: protein powders, spices, flour
- Granules: sugar, coffee, detergent
- Solid items: dried fruit, snacks, pet food
Each product type requires a specific filling system. For example, liquids are best handled by piston or pump fillers, while powders may need auger filling systems.
2. Determine Packaging Format
Doypacks can vary in design and function. Common formats include:
- Flat bottom pouches
- Spouted pouches (for drinkable or pourable liquids)
- Zipper pouches (resealable)
- Three-side sealed pouches
- Quad seal or gusseted pouches
Choose a machine that supports your preferred pouch style and offers modular upgrades for future packaging formats.
3. Decide Between Premade and Form-Fill-Seal Machines
There are two main categories:
- Premade Pouch Machines: Use ready-made pouches; suitable for lower volume or high-end, custom-printed packaging.
- Form-Fill-Seal (FFS) Machines: Create pouches from rollstock film; ideal for high-speed production and cost efficiency.
At DBAO, we offer both types, and we help clients select the best option based on production scale and packaging goals.
4. Evaluate Production Speed and Capacity
Calculate your desired output in units per minute or hour. A small-scale operation may require a semi-automatic machine, while industrial-scale businesses need fully automatic, high-speed systems.
Make sure the machine can maintain speed without compromising accuracy or product integrity.
5. Check for Compatibility with Optional Features
Modern Doypack machines can be equipped with:
- Date/batch code printers
- Zipper and spout applicators
- Hole punching (for hanging)
- Nitrogen flushing (for longer shelf life)
- Multi-head weighers or rotary fillers
- Metal detectors, X-ray inspection, and checkweighers
Choose a machine that’s easy to integrate with auxiliary equipment or upgrade in the future.
6. Ensure Sanitation and Material Compliance
For food, pharmaceutical, or cosmetic packaging, hygiene is critical. Ensure the machine uses food-grade stainless steel (usually SUS304 or SUS316) and allows for easy cleaning and maintenance.
DBAO machines meet international standards and are designed for cleanroom or washdown environments.
7. Budget and Return on Investment (ROI)
While pricing varies depending on configuration, it’s important to consider long-term cost savings in labor, waste reduction, and increased output. DBAO Packaging Machinery offers durable, low-maintenance machines with fast ROI for global clients.
