FormerFab at interpack 2026 – Experience Forming Shoulder Technology Live, Tested on Paper

At interpack 2026, FormerFab is not just presenting results, but the process itself — live, transparent, and fully understandable. Three dedicated test stations for VFFS, Stickpack, and Flowpack put paper centre stage: one of the most challenging materials in flexible packaging, and the perfect benchmark for forming shoulder precision.

 

Across all three applications, the core challenge is the same: guiding paper that is less flexible, more friction-sensitive, and highly reactive to even minimal geometric deviations. In VFFS, Stickpack, and Flowpack processes alike, precision in geometry, edge guidance, and surface quality directly defines forming stability and final package quality. With paper in particular, even the smallest inconsistencies can quickly result in wrinkles, unstable seals, or tearing. At the test stations, these effects become immediately visible and physically understandable. Visitors and industry experts are invited to take part themselves — handling the material, guiding it through the forming process, and observing in real time how subtle design differences influence behavior. This direct interaction goes beyond theoretical explanation and creates a clear, practical understanding of why forming shoulder design and manufacturing precision are critical. Using paper as a benchmark makes these relationships even more evident, as it exposes limits, sensitivities, and performance differences without compromise.

 

Experience these interactions live at interpack 2026 and become part of the process yourself. Test the applications hands-on, challenge the material, and exchange directly with our experts to gain deeper insight into how precision translates into reliable performance. You will find FormerFab at interpack 2026 in Hall 18B | Stand F05, where our team will be on site for technical discussions and live demonstrations.
