Totani has introduced the SG-6 high speed flat bottom bag making machine featuring the company’s patented Box Pouch technology. It will produce side-gusset, bottom seal bags with flat bottoms at speeds up to 100 bags/min and is said to offer end users a number of advantages over traditional pouches.
Mike Greely, vice president of Totani America, explains: “The SG-6 manufactures a very innovative packaging configuration of a wide gusseted, flat bottom bag. The bag truly has a flat bottom, so it stands well and ‘cubes out’ - so it can be more efficiently packed and staged for display by retailers.”
The Box Pouch is a side gusseted, flat bottom stand-up pouch with five panels that can have register print. The side panels are formed with a secondary web, which can incorporate a clear material that allows consumers to see the contents. Reclosability features can include slider and press-to-close zippers, as well as pour spouts.
Mike Greely adds: “The finished ‘zipper’ box pouches converted on the SG-6 are more compact and shelf stable than traditional stand-up pouches, which reduces film consumption by 10-15 per cent and maximises retail store shelf utilisation. The finished bags also use the same fill/seal equipment as traditional stand-up pouches, allowing end users to transition to the more efficient product seamlessly.
