Today, Nichrome boasts an enviable portfolio of automated packaging machines for primary packaging. Primary packaging is the packaging in direct contact with the product, the material that most closely protects and contains the product. For snacks, it could be the flexible pouch; for beverages, it could be the tin or bottle; for pharma tablets or capsules, it could be the aluminum blister strip or bottle.
NICHROME PRIMARY PACKAGING
Nichrome offers a comprehensive range of primary packaging machines in India. These can be broadly divided into 3 categories:
Vertical Form Fill Seal (VFFS) machines
VFFS machines are used primarily in the Food packaging industry, for a wide variety of powder, liquid, granular, viscous products. The product to be packed is dispensed vertically. The machine constructs the bag or pouch out of a roll of film, fills the bag and seals it. Even formed, bulk good like nuts, cookies, and even nuts & bolts, can be packed using automated VFFS packaging machines.
VFFS machines require less floor space and cost less than HFFS machines.
Horizontal Form Fill Seal (HFFS) ...

HFFS packaging machines operate horizontally, and are suited for larger packs and heavier products that do not flow. HFFS packaging machines are also better suited for packing fragile products that cannot withstand a high drop. Companies prefer these machines when they require a stand up pouch or a pouch with a zipper and/or spout that facilitates ease of opening and comfortable consumption of products.
Bottle/Tin Filling solutions
Nichrome offers an efficient integrated system for bottle filling and packaging that covers a turntable, UV sterilisation chamber, automatic liquid filling machine, cap feeding elevator, rotary capping machine, induction sealer, labeling machine, date & batch coding system, and packing table.
SKUs range from 100 ml to 20 ltrs. Applications include a wide range of food & beverage liquids such as flavoured milk, soft drinks, energy drinks, water & buttermilk; non-food liquids such as perfumes, oil, shampoo, handwash; viscous products such as ghee, ketchup, chocolate sauce and more.

NICHROME SECONDARY PACKAGING
In any trade transaction, where logistics is involved, secondary packaging forms an important part of a shipment. Secondary packaging is the outer packaging primarily used for collating smaller individual units for storage and transportation of mass quantities of the product to the end user or point of sale.
In the beverage, food & cosmetic sectors, secondary packaging is sometimes used for display and branding on retail shelves.
Good external packaging or secondary packaging offers many benefits. These include:
- Eases handling and transportation of goods
- Reduces chances of pilferage and theft
