ADM Formers are precision-engineered tooling designed to sit at the heart of every Vertical Form Fill Seal (VFFS) machine. Responsible for shaping flat film into a consistent, repeatable bag profile, the former plays a critical role in bag quality, sealing performance, and overall line efficiency.

Manufactured in Australia and supported by over three decades of practical packaging experience, ADM Formers are custom-built to suit both ADM VFFS machines and a wide range of third-party bag makers. Each former is engineered to match the product characteristics, film structure, bag style, and production speed—ensuring smooth film tracking, reduced friction, and stable bag formation throughout production.

As part of ADM’s auxiliary equipment offering, formers are designed to integrate seamlessly into complete packaging systems. Whether supplied as a standalone tool or as part of a new VFFS installation or retrofit project, ADM Formers are built to deliver long-term performance in demanding production environments.

From standard pillow bags through to gusseted, block bottom, and specialty bag styles, ADM works closely with customers to develop forming solutions that support consistent pack presentation, minimise downtime, and protect film integrity—backed by local engineering expertise and responsive support.

The flat bag width sizes range from the smaller 18mm to the larger 600mm plus flat bag width.
