The Backbone of Every Packaging Line

At Formers International, we believe the bag former is more than just a component—it’s the heart of your packaging process. Responsible for transforming a flat roll of film into a precisely formed bag, the former ensures consistency, product flow, and overall efficiency on the line.

Each of our formers is machine-made for precision, then hand-assembled by experts for unmatched quality. Whether you’re packaging snacks, frozen foods, or powders, we offer a bag forming solution tailored to your needs!

Let’s explore our four specialized bag formers—each designed to solve a unique challenge in modern food packaging.

EZ Align™ – Precision Meets Speed

Included standard on most of our formers, EZ Align™ is one of the fastest installation solutions in the packaging industry. Designed to eliminate alignment guesswork, it features a two-piece construction that ensures consistent film clearance and reduces setup time dramatically.

Why choose EZ Align?

• Operator-approved for speed and safety
