Bakery Packaging
PFM offers medium-size and large bakeries a range of machines that are flexible and can change format in a matter of minutes. They are easy to sanitize and use and do not require special maintenance operations; nevertheless, they guarantee aesthetically perfect packages with robust and safe seals.
Example of Bakery products:
Pizzas
Fresh and frozen pizzas require reliable packaging to preserve quality. Fresh products are sensitive to oxygen and contamination, while frozen pizzas need strong seals at low temperatures. PFM hermetic flowpack solutions with MAP ensure extended shelf life, pack integrity, and protection against dehydration.
Piadine (Italian flat bread)
Piadine are flexible and moisture-sensitive. Packaging must prevent dehydration and mold growth. PFM horizontal flowpack systems provide airtight sealing and optional reclosable formats for stacked products.
Bread
Bread is prone to moisture migration and mold growth. PFM flexible packaging solutions protect softness while ensuring consistent sealing and efficient handling of different loaf sizes.
Sliced bread
Sliced bread demands precise handling to maintain slice alignment and prevent crushing. PFM integrated slicing and packaging systems ensure hygienic processing and reliable pack formation.
Baguettes
Baguettes are long and structurally delicate. PFM packaging systems manage length variability with accurate film tracking and stable end seals, preserving crust quality.
Croissants and sandwiches
These products are fragile and often contain moist fillings. PFM gentle infeed systems combined with hermetic sealing and MAP protect structure and extend shelf life.
Snacks and pastries
Irregular shapes and delicate textures require smooth product flow and consistent sealing. PFM high-speed flowpack solutions ensure stable pack presentation and efficient format changeover.
Melba toasts
Highly brittle and sensitive to humidity, melba toasts require protective handling and strong barrier packaging. PFM robotic feeding systems and precise flow wrapping preserve product integrity.
Cakes and sweets
Soft and sometimes sticky products require hygienic handling and controlled sealing. PFM automated lines ensure accurate positioning, airtight packaging and high production speeds.
Bread sticks
Dry and fragile, bread sticks must be protected from moisture absorption and breakage. PFM flow-wrappers deliver consistent sealing and optional reclosable features for multipacks.
Breadcrumbs
Free-flowing and moisture-sensitive, breadcrumbs require accurate dosing and hermetic sealing. PFM vertical form-fill-seal machines combined with precise weighing systems ensure portion accuracy and product protection.
Advanced flexible packaging for the bakery industry
Bakery products combine high production volumes with delicate structures, variable formats and strict shelf-life requirements. From fresh pizzas to bread sticks, each product presents specific challenges related to moisture control, oxygen management, fragility and handling.
PFM designs flexible packaging solutions that protect product integrity, extend shelf life and optimize line efficiency. Our horizontal flowpack machines, vertical form-fill-seal systems, multihead weighers and integrated automation solutions are engineered to meet the technical demands of modern bakery production.
Hermetic Sealing
PFM flowpack machines integrate Long Dwell sealing technology to ensure strong, consistent seals even at high speeds.
Modified Atmosphere (MAP)
PFM flowpack machines integrate Long Dwell sealing technology to ensure strong, consistent seals even at high speeds.
Reclosable Packaging Solutions
PFM offers flexible reclosable formats including zipper systems and adhesive strip solutions.
Format Control and Variability
PFM machines equipped with automatic pack-length adjustment systems ensure precise film positioning and optimal pack formation.
Gentle Product Handling and Automation
PFM integrates dedicated infeed systems, synchronized conveyors and robotic pick-and-place solutions to ensure smooth product transfer.
