Flat & Side Seal Bag Making Machines

Side-seal and thermal-cutting machines for flat bags: food and hygiene packaging, sock and bread bags, flower sleeves and ornament bags — from BOPP, OPP, CPP or PE film.

Definition

What is a flat / side-seal bag machine?

A side-seal machine seals and cuts flat bags from a film tube or sheet, with regulated-temperature sealing for consistent seal quality. Thermal-cutting models (DRW series) use a heated blade that seals and cuts in one step, which suits BOPP, OPP and PE films that are difficult to seal with conventional knives.

How to choose

How to choose a flat bag machine

01

Name the final bag

Food bags, sock/towel bags, flower sleeves and ornament bags each have a typical film and sealing method.

02

Match film to sealing

BOPP and OPP film usually needs thermal cutting; PE film can run on side-seal or thermal-cutting machines.

03

Choose automation level

Entry-level models keep the price low; DRW-series features add photocell registration, auto puncher, counter and double-sided tape device.

Frequently asked
questions

What is the difference between side seal and thermal cutting?

Side-seal machines seal and cut flat bags with a conventional sealing system; thermal-cutting machines use a heated blade that seals and cuts BOPP/OPP film in one step.

Which films can the DRW series run?

BOPP, OPP and PE film, printed or non-printed, from 0.01 to 0.10 mm thick.

What sizes can the DRW machines make?

Bag widths from 10–550 mm (DRW-600) up to 10–950 mm (DRW-1000), lengths up to 990 mm, at 40–180 pcs/min.

Can the flower machine run printed film?

Yes — the ES-YX800 uses PLC with color-mark tracking servo, so printed flower film can be cut to the print position.

What automation is available?

DRW-series options include photocell registration, auto stop on lost label, auto puncher, auto counter and an automatic double-sided tape device.
