Zipper Pouch Production: From Film to Reclosable Bag

Zipper pouches are made in one pass: profile feed, sealing and cutting on the ESBC series.

Zipper Pouch Production: From Film to Reclosable Bag

Zipper Pouch Production: From Film to Reclosable Bag

The production of reclosable bags begins with a continuous roll of plastic film. The machine unwinds the film and feeds it through the production line. A critical step in this process is the integration of the reclosable mechanism. The zipper profile is fed and sealed in line with the film web. This inline integration ensures that the zipper is perfectly aligned before the final bag sealing occurs. After sealing, the film is formed and cut to the desired dimensions. The exact film structure and zipper type are confirmed with our engineers to ensure optimal sealing parameters. For details regarding the specific sealing temperature or pressure settings for your line, confirm with our engineers.

ESBC-800 vs ESBC-1000

We offer two primary models for zipper pouch production, each designed for specific capacity requirements. The ESBC-800 and ESBC-1000 differ in maximum bag height, servo power, and physical footprint. Selecting the correct model ensures efficient production tailored to your specific bag dimensions. The servo motors drive the main mechanical movements, providing precise control over the film feeding and cutting processes. The physical footprint dictates the floor space required in your facility. For information regarding the exact electrical requirements or installation clearances for these models, confirm with our engineers.

Film and Zipper Selection

Selecting the correct materials is essential for bag integrity and reclosability. The film structure and zipper type are confirmed with our engineers prior to production. Different polymers and thicknesses require specific heat sealing temperatures and pressures to achieve a hermetic seal on the film and a secure attachment for the zipper profile. The mechanical properties of the film must also match the flexibility requirements of the zipper. For any specific material combinations, multi-layer film structures, or thickness requirements not covered in standard guidelines, please confirm with our engineers.

Applications

The choice of machine depends heavily on the end product dimensions and weight. The ESBC-800 suits medium food and stationery pouches, providing the right scale for standard consumer goods where a 700 mm maximum height is sufficient. For heavier or larger items, the ESBC-1000 suits large bulk bags, mattress packaging, and quilts, utilizing its 900 mm maximum height capacity. The larger footprint of the ESBC-1000 accommodates the wider film webs necessary for these bulky products. If you have a specialized application outside these categories, confirm with our engineers.
