Essential Factors to Consider Before Investing in a Packaging Machine
Purchasing a packaging machine represents a significant long-term investment that directly impacts your production efficiency and profitability. To help you make an informed decision, we’ve compiled 7 crucial considerations when selecting your ideal packaging equipment.
1. Precisely Define Your Product & Packaging Requirements
-
Identify your product type (powders, liquids, solids) and packaging format (stick packs, sachets, bottles)
-
Note critical specifications: Multi-column stick packers have fixed widths that can’t be modified post-purchase
-
Choose between roll film, pre-made bags, or rigid container packaging systems
2. Select the Optimal Machine Configuration
-
Single-lane vs. multi-lane systems: Horizontal fillers typically use single lanes, while stick/sachet machines offer 2-10 lane configurations
-
Throughput capacity: Match machine speed to your current and projected sales volume
-
Specialized options: Vertical machines excel at kg-based packing (sugar, rice, pulses)
3. Understand Your ROI Potential
-
High-speed multi-lane machines can deliver ROI in as little as 3 months for products like:
✓ Wet wipes
✓ Sauces (ketchup, mayonnaise)
✓ Instant coffee
✓ Candy bars -
Industry advantage: Packaging machinery offers exceptional ROI for high-volume FMCG products
4. Partner with the Right Manufacturer
-
Evaluate manufacturer reputation for quality and reliability
-
Verify engineering expertise in precision filling technology
-
Confirm long-term support availability
5. Inspect Critical Components
-
Premium electrical parts (Siemens, Omron, Panasonic) ensure:
✓ Easy component replacement
✓ Global parts availability
✓ Reduced downtime
6. Compare Supplier Offerings
-
Key evaluation criteria:
✓ Equipment quality vs. price
✓ After-sales service quality
✓ Spare parts inventory
✓ Technical support responsiveness
7. Leverage Professional Support
-
Consult engineers for weight accuracy requirements
-
Request machine demonstrations with your actual products
-
Utilize video support for remote troubleshooting
