About Fords Packaging Systems Ltd.

FORDS' innovative capping and sealing technology means we are not bound by convention. We are here to break the mold in all sectors. From dairy, food and beverage through to cosmetics, personal care, pharmaceuticals and everything in between, we can help you truly set your packaging apart.

With 100 years of expertise and an esteemed customer base comprising many of the most successful international brands, OEMS and industry partners, we have not stood still. We pride ourselves on being ahead of the curve for our customers. We monitor, anticipate and act on the ever-evolving market conditions to deliver the future of packaging today.

Whether it be sustainability, the mono-separation of materials, the accessibility of packaging, the growth of e-commerce or changing consumer profiles and preferences, we stay leaps ahead in order to deliver the solutions you aspire for.

FORDS can guarantee hermetically sealed products that protect your goods and offer an all-in-one foil removal with low peel initiation forces. Our unique ability to monitor, evaluate and optimise peel performance is unparalleled – meaning you can carefully craft the opening experience you desire for your consumers.

A successful project is one that looks at big picture, the long game. That’s why we’re committed to tailoring and futureproofing our systems to suit your market strategies and packaging format changes.

FORDS equipment enables you to move seamlessly between different heights, opening diameters, pull-tab variations, embossing and print designs all within one intelligent, modular system. We build the future into our machines to empower you to move with the demands of the marketplace without the usual intensive capital commitments.

Our systems can be designed and built to serve your exact requirements and are configurable for multi-format solutions with quick changeover times. We offer linear and rotatory sealing options with conduction and induction sealing technologies for standard environments as well as high hygiene and aseptic conditions. 

FORDS capping presses and chute delivery systems come in a range of designs for high speeds, interchangeability and various foil cap designs and aesthetics.  We also specialise in additional options such as turnover tab equipment, vision systems and seal integrity systems that can be integrated into your equipment.

With the continued growth of e-commerce and demand for sustainability always increasing, products need to overcome the challenge of becoming more robust whilst minimising materials at the same time. FORDS makes this is not just possible, but readily achievable. We can deliver unrivalled seal integrity and lightweight your packages by up to 60%.

Furthermore, population growth and demographic ageing will place different demands on products as rising demand dictates that faster systems are required to expand supply. FORDS’ hermetically validated seals can withstand retort processes to extend shelf life and minimise the need for preservatives – all whilst providing easy opening for all age groups.
