The Autobag 550 bagger is a technologically-advanced, automatic filling and sealing machine that adds an integrated thermal transfer printer to the proven Autobag platform. It applies next-bag-out printing — variable data, barcodes, shipping information and product identification — directly to each bag as it’s produced, eliminating the need for a separate labeling step.
State-of-the-art engineering has led to an innovative, inherently safe design. No light curtains or double palm switches are required, improving ergonomics and operator productivity.
Flexibility is built-in, allowing the Autobag 550 to meet any packaging operation’s needs. Its open design makes it highly compatible with various equipment, and built-in Ethernet, USB and Serial connectivity make it easy to integrate with fulfillment and warehouse software.
When used with genuine Autobag brand bags, the Autobag 550 delivers high-quality, reliable, print-and-pack bagging, backed by comprehensive engineering and field service support.
