The invention relates to a machine frame (1) for a packaging machine being constructed in such a way that its manufacture is simple and flexible for th e various widths and lengths of foil packaging material without having the nee d for an expensive and labour intensive intercoupling. This machine frame is also robust and interiorly good cleanable, so that hygienic risks may be substantially decreased. This machine-building element comprises a profile element (2) made of strong sheet material, like e.g. metal or plastic material, comprising a mainly straight horizontal part (2c) that tapers off on both sides over an angle of approximately 90~ to two downwardly directed vertical parts (2a, 2b). These parts are longitudinally interconnected completely to a compact unit by means of a plurality of hollow functional sockets (7). These functional sockets are each provided with internal threading (7~) to receive an appropriate coupling element or module to be us ed in a machine construction, like e.g. an adapter socket. Frame girders (2~) a s well as frame stands (3~) for a packaging machine may be constructed from these multifunctional constructional modular elements for machine-building purposes. This results in a machine frame construction which is very flexibl e, robust and interiorly well cleanable.
