	Decorating Machines		Decorating machines decorate packages.
	Erecting Machines		Erecting machines put together packages such as cartons or boxes.
	Filling / Packer Machines		Filling machines and packer machines fill bags, bottles, cans, etc., with a predetermined volume of product, such as food, cosmetics, medicine, etc.
	Fill and Seal Machines		Fill and seal machines fill bags, bottles, trays, cans, etc., with a predetermined volume of product and then seal them. They are widely used for products such as powders, liquids, or paste foodstuffs.
	Form Fill and Seal Machines		Form, fill, and seal packaging machines use heat-sealable, flexible plastic, packaging film to form a package; the package is then filled, heat-sealed, and cut off. There are two basic types, horizontal and vertical. A horizontal machine forms a package, fills with product, and seals in a sequence of operations while the film is being transported in a horizontal direction. They are widely used for packaging solid foodstuffs. A vertical machine forms a tube, fills, and seals in a sequence of operations while the film is being transported vertically downwards. They are widely used for packaging foodstuffs in a liquid, powder, paste, or granule state.

	Palletizers		Palletizers place goods on pallets in an orderly fashion. They are available in different configurations to handle a multitude of different packaging, incoming material lines, and automation requirements.
	Depalletizers		Depalletizers remove goods from pallets in an orderly fashion. They are available in different configurations to handle a multitude of different packaging, material lines, and automation requirements.
	Sealing Machines		Sealing machines are machines that are used to close and seal an individual package, or to provide a long continuous horizontal or vertical seal.
	Seaming Machines		Seaming machines join two pieces via a formed seam. A typical application involves putting a top or bottom on a metal can, but specialized seaming machines can be used on various plastic and metal containers.
