Paper Bag Machine: The Complete FAQ Guide

Welcome to the world of paper bags. MTED is a one-stop solution for all your paper bag machines.

Here you can find paper bag machines that manufacture block bottom, flat and satchel, printed, with handle, and with stylish window cuts.

I am here to give you all the helpful information you want to know about paper bag machines. Let’s begin.

1. How Does A Paper Bag Machine Work?

Invention of Margaret E. Knight

The eco friendly paper bag machine’s history can be traced back to 1868, when Margaret the E Knight the inventor of the paper bag machine firstly brought it to the world.

The machine afterwards was developed to produce the square bottom paper bags.

Nowadays China has become a manufacturing center of paper bag machinery.

MTED company ranks as the leading supplier and manufacturer in China for innovation and expertise on various paper bag machinery, especially the fully automatic roll fed paper bag machines.

So what’s the eco friendly paper bag machine’s working mechanism?

From our paper bag machine videos, you will see the main working mechanism as below:

Layout of RZJD-350J Paper Bag Machine With Printing

It normally starts from paper material loading to paper tube forming, gluing, bottom creasing, bottom folding, and finished bag delivery, etc.

Some paper bag machine has different working mechanism and functionality.

It depends on different machine makers’ design and different paper bag types to be manufactured.

2. What is the Main Structure of Paper Bag Machine?

Simple or complex design, small or big size, the paper bag machine is normally built in the following main structure:

I. Paper Feeding Unit

The paper feeder can be pre-stack feeder or roll paper unwinder.

The pre-stack feeder is used on the sheet fed paper bag machine.

And the roll paper unwinder is equipped on the roll fed paper bag machine for loading big roll paper.

II. Tube Forming Unit

Tube Formng Unit of Paper Bag Machine

The tube forming unit is the key part of a paper bag machine, which comes between the side gluing unit and bottom folding unit.

The paper tube is formed on this station according to your needed bag width and gusset size.

It’s not an easy job to make consistent paper tubes with the easy and fast operation, which does not leave any trace on the paper material.

However, MTED paper bag machine made it possible.

III. Bottom Folding Unit

Bottom Folding Unit of Paper Bag Machine

Creased in vertical and horizontal lines, the paper material goes to the bottom opening and folding unit.

The bottom width is adjustable on the paper bag machine to make a range of bag dimensions on one machine.

We suggest operator training on the bag size adjustment if he does not have related experience before.

IV. Gluing Unit

Side Gluing Unit of Paper Bag Machine

There are two kinds of gluing systems frequently used on the paper bag machine.

They are water-soluble adhesive glue unit and hot melt glue sprayer.

Whatever glue unit, it’s of great importance to ensure the gluing uniformity synchronized with the machine running at variable speed.

And the glue system should be easy to control and clean to save the labor cost and material cost.

V. Driving Unit

Electrical Cabinet of MTED Paper Bag Machine

The driving unit functions as the heart of the whole paper bag machine, empowering its robust running.

Each paper bag machine factory has its own design.

Either mechanical driving system controlled by gears and chains or servo driving system, you have to carefully check the driving unit is well designed for stable running with low cost of maintenance.

These are the main parts you need to know about a paper bag machine.

With that, we should move to the next segment of our discussion. Shall we?

Customers can put a lot of household products in a single paper bag easily.

In bakeries, mostly sharp bottom paper bags are used. They are ideal for carrying bread, buns, biscuits, rolls, and patties.

We recommend you food paper bag making machine for making paper bags for the takeaway or delivery services.

Usually, fast food restaurants use small paper bags, made up of newsprint paper, to serve french fries, nuggets, and chicken hotshots.

Pharmaceutical Industry

MTED’s medicine paper bag making machine is ideal for making paper bags for pharmaceutical companies.

You can make block bottom as well as V bottom paper bags with the help of this machine.

25. How Much Weight Can a Kraft Paper Bag Hold?

First of all, let’s think about the usage of a paper bag. It is used in the food industry.

How much weight might an edible have?

It must be in ounces, ponds, or kg. In a grocery shop or supermarket, customers usually buy products from 5 – 10kgs (for monthly use). For example, 5 kg flour, 5 kg sugar, or 10 kg rice.

So our paper bags are ideal for this use. Our kraft paper bags can carry up to 10kg weight. The same goes for the paper shopping bags the retailers use in their supermarkets.

Now think about the pharmaceutical industry. In pharmacies, usually, small paper bags are used (block bottom/V bottom).

Customers show their prescriptions, and the pharmacist packs their desired medicines in a small paper bag. You don’t need to make heavy-duty paper bags for pharmacies (unless they demand it).

If you are making paper bags for the pharmaceutical industry and storing chemicals or soluble in bulk, you can use large-sized paper bags for this purpose.

However, if you need to carry more than 10kg, our multiwall paper bag making machine can provide you heavy-duty paper bags.

Click the link to see the video:

It produces paper bags with double or triple layers. Unlike a single-layer paper bag, it has two paper roll unwinders that work simultaneously to make a double-layered paper bag.

Similarly, if your client demands leak-proof paper bags, you can use our laminated paper bag making machine. It glues a plastic film inside the paper bag to make it leak-proof.

Now comes the retail industry. We go to the market to buy clothes, shoes, jewelry, and other households. All these things are easily manageable in a paper bag with a 10kg weight carrying capacity.

Or, else you can divide your belongings into multiple paper bags.

Heavy Duty Paper Bags

26. What Is the Size of a Paper Bag Machine?

MTED manufactures compact-designed paper bag machines. Let me tell you about the footprints of our various machines.

• The cost of a semi-automatic paper bag making machine ranges from 10,000 – 200,000 USD.
• Cost of a fully automatic square bottom paper bag making machine is more than a semi-automatic machine. However, it saves your annual labor cost. It costs approximately 50,000 – 500,000 USD.
• The cost of V bottom paper bag making machine ranges from 18,000 – 99,000 USD.
• Customized paper bag machines, for example, special die cuts, printing plates, or any other special added feature, may cost you some extra charges.

33. What Raw Material Do I Need for Making Paper Bags?

There are four main things you need for making paper bags. There are:

• Paper
• Handles
• Glue
• Ink

Let’s move further for the details.

Paper

We can use a wide variety of paper types in our paper bag machine.

• Plain or printed
• Kraft paper (brown/white)
• Card paper
• Newsprint paper
• Coated paper
• Laminated paper

Kraft paper, also known as khaki paper and card paper, has strong and tensile nature. These two paper types can carry much weight and cannot rip off easily.

You can use printed paper or can print them according to your client’s choice.

For printing purposes, we will recommend coated paper and newsprint paper. These two paper types give you precise printing results.

Laminated paper is appropriate for making oil and water-resistant paper bags.

For customized paper bags, you can use some other paper types as well, like:

• Butter paper
• Offset paper
• Duplex paper (one side white, another side brown)
• Art paper

Handles

The second thing you need for making your paper bag is the handle. MTED manufactures flat, twisted, and D-cut handles making machines.

The advantage of handle making machines is that:

• You are tension-free to go to the market and buy handles for your paper bags.
• You can use the same raw material for your handles as well.
• It is cost-friendly and user-friendly.

Glue

We use water-based adhesive and hot melt glue for paper bag side gluing, handle making, handle pasting, bottom pasting, and plastic film gluing.

We use white latex glue that is non-toxic, eco-friendly and possesses good adhesive properties.

Ink

For printing, we use flexographic inks. It is an eco-friendly ink that gives you precise printing results.

In our flexo printers, you can use 1 – 6 colors.
