Autobag 600 Wide Bagging System Case Study

For maximum productivity in wide bag and horizontal packaging applications, the Autobag 600 Wide Bagging System provides versatile packaging capabilities for not only mail order fulfillment, but of larger items, too. In this case study and application, two systems were installed to maximize productivity because of this rapidly growing business and industry. To clarify, United States Postal Service-approved mailbag sizes range from 16″ wide by 27″ long.

The Autobag 600 wide mailbag system prints and packs up to 10 bags per minute. As a result, this has reduced the number of employees from five to two, more than doubling productivity.

Autobag PS 125 OneStep Case Study

The Autobag PaceSetter PS 125 OneStep is a compact, tabletop bagger ideal for mid-volume fulfillment operations.

In this application, the built-in imprinter is used to interface with a database for printing order information, address, and barcodes directly onto the mailbag.

This semi-automatic system replaces the need for separate printing and hand-affixing labels and produces up to 15 packages per minute. The costs for materials and postage are reduced.

The results of the case study were as follows. The company saves an average of $0.17 postage per package because the mailbags weigh less than padded envelopes. Therefore, at 5,000 packages per day, this equates to $850 per day in postage savings alone.

The Autobag PS 125 OS is simple to operate, with a user-friendly display that enables easy access to operating parameters, job set-up, job storage, and on-board system diagnostics.
