Packaging Application
Fuse Beads Packaging Machine for DIY Craft Beads
Fuse beads used for pixel-art and iron-together crafts are small, light plastic cylinders that may be packed as mixed-color assortments or separate colors. Stable packaging depends on bead dimensions, bulk density, static behavior, target quantity or weight and the final retail bag format.

Illustrative packaging example
Published HYS Configuration Facts
- The published 0.5–50 g dose range applies to VFFS 320, 420 and 520
- Published VFFS speed range: 25–55 bags/min
- Published VFFS bags extend to L 320 × W 250 mm across the model range
- Actual accuracy and speed require testing with the bead size, blend and package
Final model, feeder, accuracy and output are confirmed from product and package samples.
Custom functions: Nitrogen flushing, dust extraction, metal detection and checkweighing require a customized machine or line configuration.
Dosing Mixed and Single-Color Beads
- A cup, linear weigher or other counting or weighing device must match bead dimensions and target pack size.
- Mixed-color assortments require stable upstream blending if the color ratio matters.
- Single-color packets may use recipe changes, separate hoppers or a multi-lane project configuration.
- Actual dose accuracy must be verified with the real bead sample.
Static, Flow and Seal Control
- Light plastic beads can develop static charge and cling to hoppers, chutes or packaging film.
- Hopper angles and vibration settings should support steady flow without excessive bouncing.
- Beads must clear the sealing area before the horizontal seal closes.
- Static-control devices, special feeders and inspection functions require customized engineering.
Choose the Retail Package
- VFFS forms rollstock pillow bags for mixed or single-color bead packs.
- A premade pouch machine can support supplied zipper or stand-up bags for reusable craft kits.
- Confirm bead size, colors, target weight or count, bag dimensions and film samples.
- Coding, color identification, multipack collation and downstream handling should be defined before testing.

Frequently Asked Questions
Potentially, but upstream feeding and changeover differ. Mixed-color ratio, cleaning and the number of colors should be confirmed before selecting the dosing system.
Either approach may be evaluated. Weight-based dosing is often simpler for bulk packs, while precise piece counts require a compatible counting system and project-specific testing.
