Answers for every PackForge range, bench sealers to pallet trucks (illustration)

Choosing and buying
Where to begin, who makes what, and how a quotation turns into an order.
How buying from us works →Request a quote →I am not sure which machine I need. Where do I start?
With your pack, not our catalogue. Send the carton or bag size in mm, its filled weight, your count per shift and a bench photo; we shortlist one or two models.
Semi automatic or fully automatic: how do I decide?
If one operator keeps pace, semi automatic is enough. Automatic earns its cost only when the operator is the bottleneck or the line must never stop.
Do you manufacture the machines or trade them?
Both, and each product page says which. Impulse sealers and the farm range are made by PackForge at Faridabad; stationery, safety items and bags are bought in.
Can I watch a machine run before I buy?
Yes. Call first so it is set up, then bring your own carton or bag to the Faridabad works. Watching it seal your own pack beats any datasheet.
Is it different if I buy through a distributor?
No. A distributor's customer gets the same warranty and the same spare-part prices as a direct buyer, and PackForge itself stays responsible for both warranty and spares.

Impulse and hand sealers
Built at Faridabad in six sizes, 8 to 24 inch, in Standard and Heavy Duty versions.
See impulse sealers →Heavy Duty range →Which impulse sealer size should I order?
Lay your widest bag flat, measure across the mouth and pick a longer bar. The 8 inch takes mouths up to 190 mm and the 12 inch up to 290 mm.
How do Standard and Heavy Duty differ?
Same bar, timer and spares. Heavy Duty suits all-day use and carries 5 years' warranty, not 2. 12 inch: Standard ₹1,873 + ₹337 GST, Heavy Duty ₹2,873 + ₹517 GST.
Which bags will it seal?
PE, LDPE, HDPE and PP bags, with a 2 mm seal, off a 230 V socket. Foil, metallised and thick laminated pouches usually want constant heat; post a sample first.
What wears out, and what should I keep spare?
The heating element and the PTFE (Teflon) strip above it. Life depends on film, time setting and daily count, so keep one of each spare; both are stocked.

Band, foot and table-top sealers
For when a bag needs both hands or pouches queue at the bench.
See band and foot sealers →When should I move from a hand sealer to a foot sealer?
When both hands are needed to hold the bag straight; a pedal frees them. The FS350 foot impulse sealer gives a 350 mm seal at ₹19,353 + ₹3,484 GST.
What does a continuous band sealer add?
Pouches ride through on a belt while the band stays hot, with no wait between bags. The CS900 runs up to 12 m a minute, for ₹12,812 + ₹2,306 GST.
How heavy a bag can a band sealer carry?
Each has a belt limit: CS900 3 kg, CS900LW / VW 5 kg, CS1100 10 kg, CS1680 15 kg. Sacks up to 50 kg suit the PS700A, which needs compressed air.
Which sealer closes foil or metallised pouches?
A constant-heat machine. The FS300D hot bar foot sealer keeps its bar hot and leaves a 10 mm seal on foil and laminated pouches, for ₹30,284 + ₹5,451 GST.

Strapping machines and tools
Strap holds a carton or bundle closed. First ask: can the pack go on a table?
See strapping machines and tools →Strapping machine or hand tool?
If the pack fits on a table, a machine is quicker. Pallets, coils and timber bundles are strapped where they stand with a pneumatic, battery or manual tool.
Which strap widths do the machines take?
Semi automatic tables take 6 to 15 mm; the 101F and 101FF automatics 9 or 12 mm; the 101BPT battery tool 13 to 16 mm; the 19SST, steel strap.
Semi automatic or fully automatic strapping?
On the 101H / 101L the operator places each carton and a strap takes about 1.5 seconds; ₹47,936 + ₹8,628 GST. The 101FF takes cartons off a conveyor with nobody at the arch.
What should I send for a strapping quote?
Your present strap (PP or PET, and width), smallest and largest carton, straps per day, and whether packs come to a bench. Already run a machine? Give its model.

Carton sealing machines
These tape the top and bottom of a packed box. The key question is whether sizes change.
See carton sealing machines →We pack one carton size all day. Which machine?
A semi automatic sealer set once for width and height. The top and bottom tape model lists about 800 to 1,200 cartons an hour at ₹69,730 + ₹12,551 GST.
Our box sizes keep changing. What then?
A random sealer measures each box and resets itself. The 102TR runs at 24 m a minute on 48 to 76 mm tape, at ₹2,50,880 + ₹45,158 GST.
Can the machine fold the flaps as well?
The 5050Z folds the four top flaps before taping, so the operator just pushes in the filled box, up to 25 a minute. Other models expect flaps folded by hand.
What tape and carton size does a standard sealer take?
The 102TU takes 2 or 3 inch tape and cartons up to 500 mm wide and high. For small pharma or spare-part boxes, the 102TUS holds packs down to 80 mm.

Stretch and box wrapping
The table turns while film winds round the load, so decide first: one box or a full pallet?
See stretch wrapping machines →Do I need a top press?
Only if the load shifts. A firm carton wraps fine on the plain BW600. Light or stacked boxes slide as the table turns, so a top plate holds them.
How large and heavy a load can these wrap?
The BW600 PLC takes boxes up to 600 mm a side and 50 kg; the plain BW600 is rated 100 kg. Bigger loads need a pallet wrapper such as the SW2100.
How much floor space does a pallet wrapper need?
Mark out roughly 2.6 m by 1.65 m for the turntable pallet wrapper, plus room for a hand pallet truck. All five wrappers run on 220 or 230 V.
Can a wrapper reduce my film use?
The SW2100 and BW600 PLC have pre-stretch carriages that stretch film before it reaches the load, so each wrap uses less. Tell us your loads per shift.

Shrink and vacuum packing
Shrink packing tightens film with heat; vacuum packing pulls air out of a barrier pouch before sealing.
See shrink packaging machines →See vacuum packaging machines →Do I need both a sealer and a shrink tunnel?
Yes: one wraps and seals the film, the other shrinks it. For low volumes, the LS5045 L-sealer with the SC5540 chamber is the simple pair, both on 220 V.
Will a shrink line run on a single phase connection?
Only the smaller pair. Tunnels with the 5545A, WS6540 and SL4518 need 380 V, and the WS6540 tunnel alone is rated 21 kW, so check your supply first.
Chamber or nozzle vacuum machine?
A chamber suits most food pouches; a nozzle type suits big or awkward bags. The VP260 table top gives a 260 mm seal for ₹30,643 + ₹5,516 GST.
Can I vacuum pack pickles or wet food?
In a flat chamber, brine creeps into the seal. The VP600V holds the pouch upright so liquid stays down. Use barrier pouches, as plain polythene loses vacuum.

Filling, capping and labelling
Fillers go by how the product flows, cappers by the lid, labellers by container shape.
See filling machines →See labelling machines →Which filler suits my product?
Thin liquids like oil or phenyl suit the LF series, pastes like ghee or sauce the PF series, pickle with pieces the 1000P, and tea or masala by weight the PGF200.
Do these fillers need compressed air?
The LF, PF and 1000P are piston fillers worked by 0.4 to 0.6 MPa air, so budget a compressor. The MLF200 runs a 40 W pump; the MPF50 is hand-operated.
How do I seal or cap bottles after filling?
For a foil inner seal on short runs, the IS100 hand-held induction sealer costs ₹9,499 + ₹1,710 GST. Screw caps suit the DEC80 or CL40, crown corks the PCC.
Which labeller for round or flat bottles?
Round bottles and jars go on the RBL, which rolls the label round them, at ₹42,112 + ₹7,580 GST. Flat and oval bottles need the FBL PN instead.

Material handling
Three numbers decide it: the heaviest single load, how high it goes and how far it moves.
See material handling equipment →Pallet truck or stacker?
A hand pallet truck lifts a pallet just clear of the floor to move it; ours is rated 2.5 ton at ₹13,270 + ₹2,389 GST. Racking needs a stacker.
Nylon or PU wheels on a pallet truck?
Pick by your floor: tell us if it is smooth concrete, tiles or a rough yard. Nylon and PU wheels, load rollers and hydraulic seal kits are kept in stock.
Will a hand stacker reach my top rack?
Check the load chart: capacity drops with height. The PS2.0 is rated 2000 kg with up to 3500 mm lift; the PS1.5S semi electric lifts 1500 kg to 3000 mm.
Do you have equipment for oil drums?
Yes. The DT0.5 carries a 572 mm steel drum, the DT0.3 grips the rim and lifts it 400 mm, and the DS0.35 lifts 350 kg to 1600 mm and tilts it.

Farm machinery
PackForge makes its farm range, from chaff cutters to water pumps, and stocks spares for each model.
See farm machinery →Which chaff cutter suits a small dairy?
The 3 HP electric chaff cutter runs on 230 V single phase, cuts roughly 500 to 800 kg of green fodder an hour, and costs ₹23,200 + ₹4,176 GST.
Petrol or diesel power weeder?
Diesel suits long seasons on heavy, clayey or wet paddy soil; the 7 HP diesel weighs 110 to 130 kg. Small scattered plots favour the lighter 7 HP petrol model.
What should I measure before buying a water pump?
How deep the water lies and the total head to the field. The 6.5 HP petrol pump lifts from about 7 m against 26 to 30 m; ₹9,140 + ₹1,645 GST.
What warranty and spares do farm machines have?
At least 12 months against manufacturing defects. Blades, belts and filters are wear parts and not covered, but we stock them, with carburettors, pull starters and gear parts.

Delivery, payment and GST
Machines leave Faridabad by road freight. Here is the cost, the timing and the paperwork.
Delivery and dispatch →Payment and GST invoice →Is delivery free, and how long does it take?
Free to any Indian PIN code. In Delhi NCR a stocked machine arrives the same day when ordered by 5 PM, Monday to Saturday; other metro cities take about 3 days and other towns 5 to 6, Sundays excluded. You may also collect it.
Kya Delhi NCR mein same-day delivery milti hai?
Haan. Orders for Delhi, Faridabad, Gurugram, Noida, Ghaziabad, Sonipat and Bahadurgarh PIN codes placed Monday to Saturday between 7 AM and 5 PM (IST) are delivered the same day, within 4 hours, free. Orders after 5 PM or on Sunday arrive the next working day. The PIN code list is on the Delivery page.
Will I get a proper GST invoice?
Yes, on every order, raised at despatch with the details your accounts team needs for input credit. Prices show the base rate plus GST, so nothing is hidden.
What payment terms do you work on?
They are printed on each quotation. A built-to-order machine usually takes an advance and the balance against despatch; stock machines and spares are simpler. Raise fixed credit terms at enquiry.
Do you supply outside India?
We export to African markets and handle packing, documents and freight. Quotes are EXW, FOB or CIF, paid in advance or by LC; send us the LC draft before it is opened.

Warranty, spares and AMC
Every machine is covered against manufacturing defects, and wear parts sit on our shelf.
Warranty terms →Spare parts and AMC →How long is the warranty?
At least 12 months from invoice against manufacturing defects. PackForge impulse sealers carry 2 years (Standard) or 5 years (Heavy Duty). Longer cover is printed on your invoice.
What does the warranty not cover?
Wear parts such as blades, rollers, belts, element wire and PTFE tape; strap, tape and film; damage from power faults or misuse; and machines modified without our agreement.
How do I order the right spare part?
Send a photo of the old part, the machine's rating plate and the part's measurement; for blades, element wire and belts, length matters. Wear parts are held for every model.
Do your engineers visit, and do you offer AMC?
Engineers visit sites in Delhi NCR, and visit-based AMC is offered only there. Elsewhere we help by phone, WhatsApp and video, and send parts. Each AMC is written for your machines and shifts.

Samples, datasheets, returns and tax
Free seal test, datasheets, returns and how GST is shown on the invoice.
Free seal test →Ask for a datasheet →Can I test my pouch before buying a sealer?
Yes. Courier five empty pouches to the Faridabad works for the free seal test. They are sealed on camera at three timer settings and the video comes back on WhatsApp within 48 working hours of receipt, with a size recommendation. Courier to us is at your cost.
Can I have a datasheet before deciding?
Yes, with no obligation. A datasheet gives dimensions and working space, power and connected load, any air requirement, output against a stated pack, the consumable and the wear parts.
Can I return something bought on this website?
A standard item can be returned within 7 days of delivery if it is new, unused and boxed with its parts, manual and invoice. Pickup is free, with no restocking charge. Used machines, opened consumables and anything built to your size are excluded. Details are on returns.
Which HSN code and GST rate apply to a carton sealer?
Generally 8422 30 00, at 18% GST: CGST and SGST at 9% each for a buyer in Haryana, IGST at 18% elsewhere. Your CA should confirm the code. See the HSN code page.
Is your quality system certified?
Yes. The quality management system is certified to ISO 9001:2015, and machines are run-tested at Faridabad before dispatch.
Are large orders handled differently?
Bulk buyers, meaning 50 pieces or more or an order of ₹5 lakh and above, are served at their location, through an authorised dealer in the area or directly from the Head Office in Faridabad. Start with a bulk quote request.

About this website
How this site works and what its pages tell you.
Help Centre →Intellectual property →Does adding to the cart place an order?
Not until you check out. Standard items can be paid online at checkout by UPI, card or netbanking; for anything configured we send a quotation showing the full amount before you pay.
Why do some pages say an item is bought in?
Because it is, and you should know before buying. Office stationery, safety items and bags come from other manufacturers and we supply them; each product page says so.
Is the price on a product page what I pay?
The page shows the base price with its GST, and delivery is free. The binding figure is on your quotation or order confirmation, valid until its printed date.
Some photos show another brand's name. Is it yours?
No. On the bought-in ranges any brand you see belongs to its owner, and we claim no rights in it. Our intellectual property page explains this fully.
Getting the most from these answers
Each answer above is kept short on purpose and links to the page that holds the detail. A few conventions run through all of them.
- Prices. Written as the base rate followed by its GST, for example ₹1,873 + ₹337 GST, so the tax is never hidden inside one figure.
- Model codes. Names such as CS900, 101H, VP260 or PS2.0 are the same codes used on the product pages, so they can be matched exactly.
- Warranty wording. "At least 12 months" is the floor for machines; a longer period, where it applies, is printed on the invoice.
- Website figures. If a figure here differs from the datasheet, the datasheet is right, and we would like to be told about the difference.
If your question is about a machine you already run, a photo of its rating plate and a 15 to 30 second clip say more than a description. For anything about an existing order, keep the order reference to hand; it lets us see exactly what was supplied.
