Until now, the accepted maxim was that pre-made pouches were the way to go if you ran multiple formats, but PFM have changed the rules with the launch of the D480: a large-format HFFS machine capable of full 3D pouch format changes in under 15 minutes.

Until now, pouch machines have either been capable of producing a variety of pouch formats but limited to speeds of 50-100 pouches/minute, or fast with a fixed format.
