What are Pre-Opened Bags on a Roll?

May 20, 2024

Pre-Opened Bags on Roll Bagging Machines

Pre-opened bags on a roll or Auto bags as they are sometimes called, are designed to work on vertical bagging machines such as our Speedpack range. They are pre-formed to size and open on one side to allow products to be loaded directly into the open bag using a bagging machine. The bagging machine will seal and separate the loaded bag from the rest of the reel once it’s been filled either by an operator or an infeed system. It is critical to use quality bags on a roll that are machine ready as the bagging system is only as good as the bags it is running.

Are the bags recyclable?

Yes, our bags are made from LDPE material and are fully recyclable. Furthermore, at Severn Packaging we committed to supplying all our bags with post-consumer recycled content where possible. For demanding and sensitive medical applications, we can supply quality post-industrial recycled content or virgin film options for ultimate traceability purposes. We manufacture all our bags in the UK to keep the carbon footprint to a minimum.

Do you supply bags from stock?

Severn Packaging is committed to supplying a wide variety of bag sizes from stock on short lead times. Our range of stock sizes are typically clear or white/clear combi bags and are compatible with all brands of vertical bagging machines. We can offer next day delivery on all stock items if required.

Can you supply eco-friendly material options?

Yes, but firstly it depends what you mean by eco-friendly? Whilst we can supply various material types such as biodegradable, compostable and sugar cane, they often come with drawbacks and limitations such being non-recyclable or require impractical conditions to decompose. We take a holistic approach to the materials we supply and believe the standard film option if used and recycled correctly is perfectly aligned with today’s sustainability requirements, but we can offer alternatives if required.  

Do you require pre-printed bags?

Severn Packaging, a packing company, can supply quality pre-printed bags in up to 8 colours on both sides of the bag. Our retail ready packaging can include large print coverage to the edge of the bag, header and hanger holes and easy open perforations.  

Can you supply special film types?

We can supply a range of film types including VCI material for products that require anticorrosion protection. Antistatic for dissipating static electricity - ideal for electrical and electronic components. Mail bag film for E-commerce applications and translucent UV inhibiting film. We are also able to look at special requests for larger applications.
