What the project must solve

01

Map the SKU mix for gummies, hard candy and chocolate pieces; fill range, cleaning, package formats, batch sizes and seasonal peaks determine the line architecture.

02

Test pillow bag and stand-up pouch across representative materials and product lots, including start-up, changeover and end-of-run conditions.

03

Define traceability, inspection, coding, secondary packing and staffing boundaries before comparing throughput claims for Confectionery and Candy Packaging Line.

Buyer analysis

Choose by product shape

Loose candy and gummies often use weighing with VFFS or premade pouches. Regular bars or single pieces usually point to horizontal flow wrapping and then cartoning or case packing.

Sticky products need real tests

Sugar coating, oil, temperature and humidity can change feeding and weighing behavior. Real product testing is the safest way to validate speed and pack quality.
