VERTICAL FORM FILL SEAL MACHINES BY GENERAL PACKAGING

Why Choose General Packaging?

  • SIMPLE

    1

    General machines get the job done with fewer moving parts than competitive machines. Critical parts are easily accessed and the skill level required to operate and maintain is lower than that required by other machines.

  • RUGGED

    The frames are rigid and moving parts are made tough to operate reliably with a minimum of attention.  Many of our machines have been in daily operation for 30, 40 and even 50 years.
