Finding the Right Auto Bags for your Automatic Bagging Machine

Today’s manufacturers and packagers realize the benefits to be gained from investing in fast, efficient automatic bagging machines for packaging their finished products. In addition to the obvious advantages that come with the ability to fill orders more quickly, auto bagging optimizes operations by ensuring accuracy and consistency. Automated systems quickly open bags for filling and provide consistent sealing, reducing labor, waste and errors.

Selecting the right plastic bags for auto-fill machines requires a nuanced understanding of multiple factors. Kwik-Fill auto bags address each potential issue, delivering superior performance, cost-effectiveness, and options to suit every business’s workflow. Here’s how to select the Kwik-Fill auto bag that will work best for you:

Product Type: The characteristics of the product to be packaged influence the optimal bagging material and options. Clingy powders empty more efficiently from bags with anti-static properties. Robust and dependable seals are a must for liquids, gels, pastes and more.

Bag Size and Thickness: Using bags that are large enough to accommodate bulky or oddly shaped items will help maintain the products’ integrity. Avoiding the use of bags that are too large avoids material waste and aids in portion control and packaging aesthetic. Bulky, heavy, rough, or abrasive items will fare better in heavier-gauge bags that resist puncturing and tearing.

Product Sensitivity: Products sensitive to environmental factors require specialized auto bagging solutions to ensure their integrity during storage, transport, and handling

Type of Plastic: Common materials include polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), and polyvinyl chloride (PVC). Each has different properties in terms of strength, flexibility, and clarity. Our low-density polyethylene (LDPE) Kwik-Fill bags perform well in extreme temperatures due to their flexibility.

Productivity Requirements: For high-volume operations, bags must be processed rapidly without sacrificing packaging integrity or product protection. Pre-opened bags dramatically increase packaging speed, which is vital for meeting demanding production targets. Speed, however, must be balanced with cost and quality. Kwik-Fill bags are not only pre-opened but also feature precise perforation for easy, precise separation, engineering considerations that allow for fast filling and sealing.
