Fast Food

Fast food products—including sandwiches, boxed meals (bentos), noodles, ready-to-eat/pre-prepared meals, and frozen fast food—are typically packaged using methods such as vacuum-sealed bags, modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) trays, or flexible pouches. Common packaging equipment includes horizontal flow wrappers (pillow-pack machines), vertical form-fill-seal (VFFS) machines, tray-sealing machines, and thermoforming packaging machines. To select the right equipment, you must first determine the specific packaging format required for your fast food products. For instance, tray-sealing machines and thermoforming machines are commonly used for ready-to-eat/pre-prepared meals; horizontal flow wrappers and VFFS machines are frequently used for frozen fast food; and thermoforming machines are often employed for sandwiches, allowing for custom-shaped packaging based on the sandwich's form.
