How to Make Central Sealed Alufoil Bags – Complete Guide from a Custom Machinery Solution Provider

In today’s packaging industry, central sealed alufoil bags have become one of the most trusted solutions for food, coffee, tea, and pharmaceutical packaging. Their superior barrier properties and sleek metallic appearance make them ideal for protecting products from moisture, oxygen, and light while maintaining freshness and aroma.

As a professional machinery solution provider, we specialize in customizing complete production lines for central seal pouch manufacturing. Below is a detailed guide on how these bags are made and how you can get the right solution for your needs.


🏭 Step 1: Choosing the Right Material

The first step in producing central sealed aluminum foil bags is selecting high-quality laminated films.
Typical structure includes:

  • Outer layer: PET or BOPP for printing and stiffness

  • Middle layer: Aluminum foil for light and oxygen barrier

  • Inner layer: Food-grade PE for heat sealing

This multilayer structure ensures high barrier protection while remaining heat-sealable and durable. All materials must comply with FDA and EU food contact regulations.


🔧 Step 2: Printing and Lamination

Using flexo or gravure printing machines, the outer film layer is printed with your desired design, logo, and product information.
After printing, a laminating machine bonds the layers together with solvent or solventless adhesive, ensuring a strong composite film suitable for central sealing.


🧵 Step 3: Central Sealing Process

The laminated roll is fed into a Central Seal Pouch Making Machine, which performs:

  1. Unwinding and tension control – keeps film alignment stable.

  2. Edge folding and central sealing – forms the bag by joining both sides with a heat-sealed center seam.

  3. Cutting and trimming – creates individual bags of precise size.

Our MJ-series high-speed central seal bag making machines feature:

  • Servo-driven control for precision

  • Intelligent temperature regulation

  • Adjustable bag length and width

  • Speeds up to 100 cycles/min

  • photoelectric tracking for printed marks


⚙️ Step 4: Quality Inspection

To ensure the best sealing performance and packaging integrity, every bag undergoes visual inspection or automatic web inspection systems to detect any film misalignment, wrinkles, or seal defects.

This step guarantees that all central sealed alufoil bags meet international food safety and barrier performance standards.


💡 Step 5: Applications and Benefits

Central sealed alufoil bags are widely used in:

  • Coffee beans and ground coffee

  • Powdered drinks and protein mixes

  • Snacks and nuts

  • Pet food

  • Medical and pharmaceutical packaging

Advantages:

  • Excellent barrier against light, air, and moisture

  • Long shelf life

  • Sleek silver appearance

  • Printable surface for brand promotion
