Stand Up Pouches Made Easy

CREATE STAND UP BAGS ON YOUR VERTICAL BAGGER
EASY AS A SEALING JAW AND FILM CHANGE
Create stand up bags on your Vertical Form, Fill and Seal (VFFS) bagger with EZ-Stand. As a tried and true application, the pillow pack created on a VFFS machine is considered the industry standard for producing economical and versatile packaging across all industries. The simplicity in design allows for unparalleled production speeds and cost management. However, the original pillow pack no longer meets the modern packaging demand to stand up like a pre-made or doy-style pouch.
Upgrading to EZ-Stand is as simple as a film and sealing jaw change on a vertical bagger. EZ-Stand packages are formed using a film web with a pre-applied folded panel. When the package is formed on a VFFS bagger and sealed with a specially designed set of sealing jaws, the panel unfolds to become the bottom of your stand-up bag. EZ-Stand allows operators to use their existing VFFS baggers to produce stand-up bags comparable to other stand-up package formats at a fraction of the cost. With minor, non-permanent changes to your current VFFS, you can immediately start generating an eye-catching package with an affordable upfront investment.
Operators of all skill and experience levels can produce attractive EZ-Stand stand up pillow packs by simply changing to the specially designed film and EZ-Stand sealing jaws. EZ-Stand allows you to gain the efficiency of the VFFS bagger and the powerful impact of a stand-up package. The sealing jaws are interchangeable if you desire to create different shaped/sizes packages from one product run to another.

How it works
Film Converting
EZ-Stand films are made on the proven and successful Hudson-Sharp INNO-LOK® machine in use by dozens of film converters. A universal gusset applicator is used to economically and efficiently apply a folded gusset to the film web. The gusset forms the bottom of the stand-up package during the packaging operation.
EZ-Stand front panel widths can range from 4" to 14". The EZ-Stand gusset and can be combined with front panel zippers, bag top zippers, Zip360™, and Pour & Lok™ zippers.

Packaging Machine Operation
EZ-Stand is a modified pillow pack using EZ-Stand film. The film has a pre-applied gusset which becomes the bottom of the package during the sealing operation. The pre-applied EZ-Stand film web runs efficiently through any VFFS packaging machine. The key to a successful EZ-Stand package is in the design of the special U-shaped sealing jaws in combination with the EZ-Stand packaging film. Jaws are custom designed and precision manufactured to create the perfect size EZ-Stand package. The type of packaged product determines the design of the package and the final appearance of the finished bag.
EZ-Stand is a non-permanent change to packaging machines using interchangeable sealing jaws and forming collar assemblies, EZ-Stand can be run at existing production speeds.
