What is the Doypack format?
DOYPACK® is a flexible, pre-formed, stand-up pouch format used in the packaging industry. This bag format is famous for its flexibility, robustness (= protection), aesthetics and accessibility. DOYPACK® format has been created and designed by Thimonnier company.
In packaging, doypack is used due to its light weight and the limited space it requires. This format also has a positive ecological impact compared to other materials such as plastic, which is used by other types of bagging machines.
Doypack pouches are available in different formats: pre-formed with or without a cap, zip, clip, perforation with a straw, etc.
Depending on the product used, the Doypack sachet can be made of kraft, white paper, aluminium or transparent, opaque or coloured plastic.

Buying and selling a Doypack machine
A Doypack machine is visually close to a horizontal bagging machine. The forming and sealing process takes place horizontally. However, the product is fed and introduced into the bags from the top as on a vertical bagging machine.
Buying a second-hand doypack bagging machine is still a high investment for some companies. Prices vary depending on the condition, brand, location and year of manufacture of the machine.
Osertech offers a selection of used packaging machines that are available and functional, ready to use, in order to meet the needs of any budget.
