Concetti Australia and New Zealand has introduced the IPF25, an automatic packaging system for seeds in formats ranging from 100 grams to 5kg.

The system is designed for lawn and garden seed producers, a sector the company says is growing in Australia. The IPF25 can handle up to 600 bags per hour and works with different bag types and closures, from resealable pouches to traditional sacks.

According to Concetti, one customer opted for resealable plastic bags with custom designs to meet demand for both convenience and sustainability. The company also offers integration of traceability, printing and labelling systems to support compliance with local and international regulations.

Concetti says its Australian operation provides spare parts and technical support to ensure production continuity.

The company has worked with seed groups globally for more than 50 years.
