Stricter Packaging Rules Are Coming — Is Your Factory Ready?

Alyssa/ November 23, 2025 Return

Food and pharmaceutical companies in the US and UK are facing new packaging rules — cleaner edges, stronger sealing, more traceability, and fewer manual touches. Facebook groups for industry professionals have been buzzing about this topic all week.

For factories still relying on manual folding and sealing, this is a big problem. Human error leads to uneven boxes, weak sealing, and contamination risks. The stricter the rules become, the harder it will be for manual lines to pass audits.

This is why factories are upgrading to UBL’s folding machines, cartoning machines, and bagging machines. These machines deliver repeatable, clean, hygienic packaging — exactly what inspectors look for.

Automated packaging reduces hand contact, keeps shapes consistent, and ensures every carton passes the same standard. For food snacks, supplements, medical goods, and herbal products, this is key to staying compliant and competitive.

Regulation is no longer something to fear — with the right equipment, it becomes your advantage.
