Volpak at interpack 2026

Volpak introduces SM+, a modular pouching platform designed to combine advanced mechatronics, high performance and a remarkable degree of production flexibility.

SM+ represents Volpak’s answer to manufacturers looking for a modular pouching platform where flexibility, scalability and performance are fully integrated into a single, future-ready system. Developed for dynamic FMCG environments, SM+ responds to the increasing need for packaging systems that can adapt quickly to changing market demands, variable production scenarios and tighter time-to-market requirements.

A modular packaging approach

Conceived as an innovative modular machine, SM+ is built to deliver versatility, future-readiness and easy retrofittability within a single platform. It is designed for customers facing highly demanding production conditions, where product variability, format changes and the need for scalable solutions are part of everyday operations. In this context, the machine provides a truly modular packaging approach, capable of supporting evolving needs without compromising efficiency.

A combination of productivity and flexibility

SM+ integrates HFFS, premade and hybrid configurations, allowing manufacturers to manage different production models on the same platform. This makes it possible to handle multiple pouch styles, formats and materials with a high degree of flexibility. The system is suitable for mono-material and paper-based solutions, while also supporting monomaterial pre-made pouches, in consistency. Its configuration is adaptable to evolving needs, making the machine scalable over time and suitable for different production stages. In addition, it offers the possibility of late customization, allowing customization steps to be added at the final stage, a valuable feature for manufacturers operating in increasingly fragmented and diversified markets.

Operating at more than 260 ppm, SM+ combines speed with adaptability, enabling manufacturers to move efficiently from small customized runs to high-volume production. This ability to cover different batch sizes and production requirements within the same platform makes it particularly suitable for companies seeking both operational efficiency and long-term flexibility, in line with the growing need for packaging choices that combine productivity with material versatility.

A key element of the platform is its independent magnetic shuttle system, which works together with the modular machine architecture to enable fast format changeovers, precise process control and seamless switching between SKUs and batch sizes. This combination supports stable and efficient production in contexts where daily production changes are frequent and responsiveness is critical. What makes the difference is precisely this balance between versatility, scalability and customization potential. SM+ is designed for quick format changeovers that support daily production changes with speed and long-term flexibility.

From a technological standpoint, SM+ is positioned in horizontal stand-up pouching and addresses the needs of different industries, including chemicals, food, home care, and pharma solutions & healthcare. Across these application areas, the platform stands out for its ability to combine modularity, process precision and production continuity in a solution designed to support both present requirements and future developments.
