A flow wrap machine takes your product — a biscuit, a chocolate bar, an ice cream stick, a soap bar — and seals it into a pillow pack with a fin seal underneath and end seals front and back. It runs continuously: product in, finished pack out, no batch stops. If you pack solid, regularly shaped products at volume, this is the machine category to evaluate first.
Horizontal vs vertical: the one decision that matters
Horizontal flow wrap moves the product sideways through a film tube. It suits solid, discrete products that can travel on a conveyor: biscuits, bakery items, chocolate bars, soap, ice cream bars, switches, hardware. The product never drops, so fragile items survive the process.
Vertical flow wrap forms the pouch vertically and is the right choice when the product flows — powders, granules, snacks, spices — or when you need a filled pouch rather than a wrapped solid. If your product pours, go vertical; if it sits, go horizontal.
New Vision Machines builds both. Our horizontal flow wrap machine covers biscuits, chocolates, bakery, soap, and FMCG products, while the vertical flow wrap machine handles snacks, spices, powders, grains, and free-flowing products with adjustable pouch sizes.
The range: five machines, five jobs
Horizontal Flow Wrap Machine — ₹2,80,700. The all-rounder for food, pharma, cosmetic, and FMCG lines. Automatic operation, center-seal pillow packs, laminated or heat-sealable film, adjustable for different product sizes. If you are unsure which variant you need, start here.
Ice Cream Flow Wrap Machine — ₹3,24,800. Built for the cold chain: ice cream bars, sticks, and frozen desserts. Hygienic, leak-proof sealing with precise cutting that prevents film sticking in moisture-prone environments — the detail that separates a frozen-dessert wrapper from a biscuit wrapper.
Switch Packaging Machine — ₹2,82,900. For electrical switches, sockets, plugs, and small hardware. Same reliable flow-wrap sealing, configured for the electrical and electronics industry's product sizes and throughput.
Vertical Flow Wrap Machine — ₹2,81,500. Fills as well as wraps: snacks, namkeen, spices, grains, sugar, tea, coffee, detergent powder. Adjustable pouch sizes and capacities for food, pharma, chemical, and agriculture applications.
Automatic Horizontal Flow Wrap Machine for Pillow Packs — our established pillow-pack workhorse, now part of this range.
What flow wrap machines cost in India
Automatic flow wrap machines in India trade between roughly ₹2.4 lakh and ₹6.2 lakh depending on type, speed, drive system, and build. Our range sits at ₹2,80,700–₹3,24,800 — the engineered mid-band with registration control and configurable sealing, not the stripped-down entry tier.

How to choose: four questions
1. What is your product's shape and state? Solid and regular → horizontal. Powder, granule, or free-flowing → vertical. Frozen bars or sticks → the ice cream variant.
2. What speed do you actually need? Size for packs per minute from your daily target, not the brochure maximum. Our horizontal flow wrap buying guide walks through the sizing formula and the servo-vs-mechanical decision.
3. What film will you run? Heat-sealable laminated films are standard; printed film needs eye-mark registration. Confirm your film type works with the sealing system before you buy.
4. Who services it? Sealing jaws, cutters, and sensors are wear items. Buy from a supplier with real after-sales depth in your region — a cheap machine with no spares is the most expensive machine you will ever own.
