In today’s competitive packaging industry, Doypack packaging machines have become a critical solution for brands aiming to deliver convenience, extended shelf life, and eye-catching presentation. If you’re new to flexible pouch packaging, this guide will provide a professional overview of what a Doypack packaging machine is, how it works, and how it can benefit your production line.
What Is a Doypack?
A Doypack is a flexible, stand-up pouch characterized by its gusseted bottom, allowing it to stand upright on shelves. It was first introduced by the French company Thimonnier and has since become a dominant packaging format across multiple industries, including:
- Food and beverages (sauces, juices, snacks)
- Cosmetics and personal care (lotions, gels)
- Household and industrial chemicals (detergents, cleaners)
- Pet food and supplements
Doypacks often include spouts, zippers, tear notches, or hanging holes, and can be printed with high-quality graphics for brand visibility.
What Is a Doypack Packaging Machine?
A Doypack packaging machine is an advanced system used to form, fill, and seal stand-up pouches. These machines are engineered for speed, accuracy, and reliability, making them ideal for high-volume production environments.
At DBAO Packaging Machinery, we manufacture both:
- Premade pouch packaging machines – Designed to fill and seal pre-manufactured pouches
- Vertical form-fill-seal (VFFS) machines – These form pouches from rollstock film, then fill and seal them in a continuous process
How Does a Doypack Machine Work?
Although workflows vary depending on the machine type and automation level, most Doypack machines follow this general sequence:
- Pouch Feeding or Forming
Premade pouches are picked and opened; alternatively, roll film is shaped into a pouch. - Product Filling
The machine doses and fills the pouch based on the product type—liquid, powder, granules, or solids. - Sealing
Heat-sealing mechanisms securely seal the pouch top (and optionally insert zippers or spouts). - Discharge
The finished pouches are discharged for labeling, boxing, or palletizing.
Optional features may include:
- Nitrogen flushing (for freshness and shelf-life extension)
- Date/lot code printing
- Euro hole punching
- Zipper opening and resealing
