In the world of operations, the metrics for any return on investment (ROI) include the cost of labor, risk, and damage. Every penny spent on these necessities is a dollar off the ROI. The burden for making things happen efficiently and safely falls heavily on those who drive operations, inventory, and shipping. Options in auto-bagging can master these risks and lighten the manager's load.
Auto bagging brings precision and speed to the operations task.Who needs an auto bagging system?
Packaging may be the key link in the supply chain. Any customer judges the provider based on the packaging received. The customer's expectations include timely delivery, of course, but the condition and purpose of the packaging are an index of quality service.
"Packages" might be boxes or bags, and they might contain big or small items, fragile or perishable goods, or electronics or medications. And, the auto bagger is a system that expedites and improves the process of shipping and handling of polymer film, paper, or other flexible and resilient container materials.
Auto bagging machines vary in footprint size, task versatility, and cost-efficiency. They are technologically advanced, programmable, and durable. Fully or semi-automatic, the systems work with speed and accuracy to open, fill, and seal bags of concentrates, powders, grains, seeds, fabrics, bottles, jewelry, cosmetics, hardware - just about anything loose or solid that will fit in a bag.
Automation with an auto bagger brings precision and speed to the operations task. In relieving workers of the work, the systems use technology to improve precision and productivity that reduces labor overhead, prevents damage, and manages risk with quality outcomes.
"Auto bagging can reduce labor up to 80%, save up to 50% over paper envelops, and eliminate 100% of labeling and corrugated boxes."
Auto Bagging Advantages: Whatever needs to be done!
Auto bagger systems can count and/or weight the product, fill and seal the bag, label and address the product, insert instructions, and market the product in printed bags.
Equipment Line:
- SX Proline is an easy-to-operate table top that prints unique and variable copy on bags as they feed through.
- MAX-IP systems run as semi- or fully automatic. The bagger has a stand-behind printer to feed bags with graphics, language, and/or bar codes. The programmable system bags, prints, and seals in one step in short and long-run operations. Other MAX machines are built specifically for medications and retail.
- HAWK fills and seals with bags up to 12" wide. PLC programmable, it integrates with scales, shakers, conveyors, and other devices. Easy to operate and maintain, the stainless steel durability and speed at 140 bags/minute the best value per square foot.

Real world operations have demonstrated the values and applications in each system. When the only option has been counting, bagging, labeling, and sealing by hand, any system that can run 24/7 with one or no operator will save money. Depending on the application and materials, auto bagging can reduce labor up to 80%, save up to 50% over paper envelops, and eliminate 100% of labeling and corrugated boxes.
