A continuous web of flexible film designed for automated VFFS/HFFS lines—ideal for speed, consistent seals, and lower unit costs.
Vertical form-fill-seal for powders, granules, and many snacks. Prioritize web width, forming collar fit, and fin/lap seal performance.
Horizontal form-fill-seal for bars, flow-wrap, and sachets. Check cold-seal vs heat-seal, registration marks, and repeat consistency.
Rollstock is printed and slit into precise web widths, then rewound in the correct orientation for your equipment. On line, the film forms, fills, and seals into pouches or sachets in one continuous process—reducing handling and changeovers versus premade bags. Material choices align with barrier targets (OTR/WVTR), finishes, and seal types (fin or lap; heat or cold seal). Getting orientation right prevents downtime and waste, so we provide a quick setup guide and sample runs when needed. If you’re integrating with a co-packer, we’ll translate their spec into web width, repeat, core size, and max OD to ensure day-one compatibility.
A quick reference for VFFS/HFFS setup—what to verify before ordering rollstock.

Compare recyclable and compostable structures alongside conventional high-barrier roll stock engineered for VFFS/HFFS performance.
Single-material PE rollstock aimed at curbside-style recycling where supported. EVOH options can elevate barrier while staying mono-PE.
Polypropylene-based roll stock that balances stiffness and clarity; suitable for recycling programs with PP streams.
Clear, good machinability for snacks and flow-wrap. A dependable rollstock laminate for many flexible packaging lines.
Workhorse structure balancing print fidelity and seal performance across diverse product categories.
Metalized layer boosts barrier for oxygen/moisture sensitive products. Note microwave and metal detection constraints.
Bio-based rollstock for brands prioritizing compostable messaging; typically suited to industrial composting—verify local acceptance.
Built for brand and operations teams evaluating roll stock film packaging. Explore category-specific approaches with typical structures, line considerations, and readiness tips for VFFS/HFFS lines.
Protect aroma with high-barrier laminations and keep brand texture with matte or soft-touch finishes. If you use one-way valves, align rewind orientation and eye marks with the applicator. Set slip for smooth forming on the VFFS collar and verify seam location against key artwork.
Run flow-wrap at speed with clear films that show the product while keeping seals consistent. Cold-seal helps protect heat-sensitive fillings and shortens dwell time on multi-up lanes. Confirm repeat length and registration control to prevent drift across long shifts.
Choose robust laminations for heavier fills and larger formats where puncture resistance matters. Map gusset folds and tear notches so seams avoid critical graphics and open cleanly. If you use metallized barrier, verify your metal detection path during QA.
Stick-packs and sachets need clean seals and accurate dosing with repeat matched to the cavity length. Keep powder away from the jaws to maintain seal integrity and reduce rework. Choose easy-open notch styles and confirm the ink side for consistent registration.
Rollstock is flexible packaging film supplied on a roll. On VFFS or HFFS equipment it forms, fills, and seals into pouches, sachets, or flow-wraps.
Yes, when specs match your forming set and registration control. We align web width, repeat, seam style, and orientation with your operator or co-packer.
Confirm web width, repeat length, core size, max OD, seal type (fin or lap), seal method (heat or cold), rewind orientation (sealant in or out), and eye-mark location.
Typical timing is ~10–15 business days for digital and ~15–22 business days for plate-based after artwork approval. Expedite options may be available depending on materials and queue.
Yes. Use digital for pilots, seasonal SKUs, and fast turns. Move to plate-based for larger volumes while keeping approved color targets.
Yes. We support sample kits and trial runs to validate sealing windows, COF targets, and registration before full production.
Yes. Digital supports variable data. We reserve clear areas for coding and place registration marks to match your sensors.
Digital has flexible minimums for pilots and small batches. Plate-based production carries higher minimums due to plates and setup. We quote based on structure, width, and footage.
Share your web width, repeat, core size, and rewind orientation. We’ll match rollstock film structures for flexible packaging and return a fast, production-ready quote.
