Bag Packaging Machinery

Field-proven, easy-to-use mailbag systems from simple tabletop models to modular and fully-customizable automated solutions

Every system we make is geared with our customers in mind. Our Autobag® and SidePouch® automated fulfillment machines feature small footprints that easily fit into existing shipping environments.

Automatic sealing completes the cycle, and the next pre-labeled bag is presented for loading. With bags up to 22” wide and consistent bag opening up to 11” x 11” square, our systems can easily accommodate hand or robotic filling.

Case Study

Ampulla invested in an AirPouch<sup>®</sup> FastWrap™ system to increase productivity and reduce in-transit damage of its glassware lines.

Background
Based in Hyde, Greater Manchester, Ampulla is the consumer retail arm of Amphorea, Europe’s largest wholesale supplier of glass, aluminum and plastic containers for applications including chemicals, foodstuffs, fragrances and paints.
