There is a wide range of bagging equipment available that is suitable for almost any product, from pharmaceutical and medical products to snacks, foods, cosmetics, polybag mailers, and more.  Bagging machinery can go from a tabletop machine to a highly automatic machine. The machine opens a bag from a rollbag and allows you to drop product in based on your needs, scaled by weight, or by manual insertion. Baggers will seal the product within to protect your items. There are many options to add to your bagging production, from infeeds to all-electric machines that require no pneumatics, and options to label your packages for you.

You can also add air expellers to your machines to eliminate air from your bags. ** #### Labeling You can print on the bag with a thermal print transfer, or you can use a print-and-apply label application. ** #### Programmable These machines can store multiple job functions, so you can select specific jobs and easily run without having to manually set up each time. ** #### Small Footprint Most baggers are compact, even the most automated. These are great when you are limited in floor space. ** #### Polybag Mailers You can use bagging machinery to fill poly-mailers and speed up fulfillment opportunities. ** #### Speed Bagging machines can run up to 40-60 bags per minute, helping you speed up your production process to meet demand as needed. These are high-speed machines at a low cost of ownership. ** #### Safety There is a low-pressure jaw closure and jaw-obstruction detection that are built-in safety features. ## Want To Know More About Purchasing Packaging Machinery?

[Talk With A Machinery Specialist](https://www.industrialpackaging.com/contact-us-machinery) ## FAQs Some frequently asked questions we receive about our bagging equipment options. #### What size bags can I use on your bagging machinery? Bag lengths between 3" to 20" are standard.  There may be custom options that are best discussed with our rep. Bag widths are 2"-12". When it comes to bag thickness, these machines are best run with 1-5 mil. If you need to run something higher than 5 mil, baggers may not be the right option for you. #### How fast can your bagging machines run? These machines can run 40-60 bags per minute standard. This is dependent on your machine and printing application, the length of your bag, and your label sizes. #### What is the difference between print-and-apply and thermal transfer printing? Thermal transfer printing allows you to print on the bag itself. Print and apply is printing on a label, and applying before the bag comes out of the machine. #### Can your baggers provide hermetic seals? Yes, we have options available that will make sure your seal is consistent every time to meet your needs, which is especially important in the medical and pharmaceutical industries. #### How easy are baggers to use? These machines are extremely easy to set up and operate. They are easy to program, learn, and maintain. They can store up to 20 different job profiles, making it a breeze when you have multiple SKUs. They also have built-in diagnostics and help screens, making them extremely user-friendly. #### Can you provide bags for the machinery? We can provide the bags, but we cannot provide the labels and ribbons for printing. #### Do all of your machines run mailer applications? Each machine has different capabilities, and mailer bagging machines are different from roll baggers. Make sure you are clear on which is right for you. A good conversation with a rep will help make sure you are choosing the right machine for your applications. ## Helpful Resources For Bagging Machinery [![Image](https://cdn2.hubspot.net/hubfs/298890/assets/images/3x1.png) ](https://www.industrialpackaging.com/blog/how-to-feed-a-vertical-bagger) Article #### [ How To Feed A Vertical Bagger ](https://www.industrialpackaging.com/blog/how-to-feed-a-vertical-bagger) In this article, we will explain how to feed a vertical bagger.
