For an OEM packaging machine project, should I confirm the machine or packaging material first?
• Confirm packaging material first: film/bag thickness, COF and heat-seal temperature define the sealing jaw and former.
• Machine type is locked by material: roll-film vs pre-made pouch decides film feed, servo pull and sealing cycle time.
• Run a trial seal on the intended film to verify the heat-seal window (temperature, pressure, dwell time).
• After material approval, sign the technical agreement, then finalize machine specs, tooling and MOQ to avoid retrofit.
• Sequence: material datasheet → seal trial report → machine selection → FAT acceptance.
