Wide baggers for apparel fulfillment

Apparel mail-order packaging is expanding due to the growth of internet shopping. The speed of getting the package out the door after it’s been ordered is critical.  It’s also important for the mail order package to arrive without any damage. Autobag’s new Autobag 600 and Autobag 650 Wide Baggers are ideal for apparel fulfillment packaging. These bagging machines will accommodate a range of Autobag bags-on-a-roll and bags-in-a-box material up to 16 inches wide by 27 inches long.


The Autobag 650 Bagging System

The Autobag 650 is the same wide bagging system with a fully-integrated next-bag-out printer that eliminates the need for a separate labeling operation, therefore increasing speed and accuracy in mail order e-commerce, prescription-by-mail, catalog order fulfillment, and frequent changeover, variable data applications.

The Autobag 650 prints and packs at speeds up to 40 bags per minute. These wide baggers include an AutoTouch Control Screen that provides quick and easy access to job storage and recall, on-board diagnostics, and productivity monitoring. Therefore, the Autobag 600 and Autobag 650 can also be networked for full pack station integration and central monitoring. Both baggers feature an open design with fewer moving parts for longer life and ease of maintenance.


The Autobag 600 Wide Bagging System

The Autobag 600 wide bagger is a semi-automatic filling and sealing machine designed for packaging large products at speeds up to 65 bags per minute. As a result, an innovative engineering design has eliminated the need for light curtains or double palm switches, while the adjustable six-inch pass-through enables faster, more efficient cycle times, making this wide bagger ideal for many applications.

Pet Food Packaging

Packaging is one of the most important things for pet-industry manufacturers. Pet owners want to know that the product they are buying is sealed properly so their pet food or treats are as fresh as possible.

No one wants to buy a new 50 lb. bag of pet food only to find it has lost its freshness and nutrients. The way it is packaged is crucial to maintaining its freshness. Additionally, the type of packaging and materials used to seal the food is vital.

Dogs and cats are less likely to eat food that has lost its flavor due to poor packaging, and when pets don’t eat their food. As a result, owners will look to other brands to keep their beloved animals happy and well-fed.

Finding the right machine for the job is also crucial. One option includes the Autobag FAS SPrint Revolution SidePouch food packaging bagger which produces tamper-evident perforations and other pet-friendly packaging solutions.

This machine brings new levels of speed and versatility to demanding, high-productivity environments that require daily washdown procedures. The FAS SPrint operates at speeds up to 900 inches per minute. This state-of-the-art system offers maximum flexibility, functionality, and pet food bag packaging reliability.

The Autobag FAS Sprint Revolution Side Pouch Bagger can handle both pet food and regular human food. There are many features of this machine and it has many types of applications.
