Product overview
Why brands choose this format.
Pillow pouches, also known as centre-seal or HFFS (Horizontal Form Fill Seal) pouches, are the most widely used packaging format for snacks, confectionery, and bakery products. The characteristic pillow shape results from sealing along the centre back and two end seals, creating a simple, cost-effective, and lightweight package.
Ultra-High Speed Filling
Compatible with HFFS machines producing 60–200 packs/minute for large-scale operations.
Modified Atmosphere Packaging
Can be used with nitrogen flushing to extend shelf life of chips, snacks, and biscuits.
Auditory Freshness Cue
The characteristic 'crinkle' of a well-sealed pillow pouch signals freshness to consumers.
Easy Tear Open
Tear notch on one or both sides for effortless opening — consumer-friendly design.
Large Print Canvas
Both faces offer excellent printable area for branding, nutrition info, and barcodes.
Lowest Material Cost
Minimal material usage per unit — most economical format for high-volume snack packing.
