To create the pillow type bag, packaging film is guided over a forming tube, creating the ‘pillow’ shape. The outer edges of the film overlap around the forming tube and a vertical seal bar bonds the film together, creating the ‘back seal’. A horizontal sealing bar then creates the ‘top & bottom seal’.

With a bottom seal, top seal, and back fin seal, the pillow bag is most often formed from a continuous roll of flat flexible packaging film on vertical form fill seal (VFFS) packaging machinery.

The product is next dispensed vertically from a product filler via the hollow center of the forming tube and is filled into the pillow bag. After the product is filled to specification, the horizontal ‘top seal’ is created. Lastly, a horizontal knife makes a cut that releases the individual completed bag, which is then discharged from the machine.

There are additional options available when packaging with pillow bags, namely the addition of a hole punch or Euro slot for display on hooks, adding nitrogen flushing to keep the product fresh inside, and adding easy-open options like tear notches.
