New development: Bag maker with inline Top Slider / Top zipper application
Innovative side gusseted bag making machine
Production with Integrated Top Slider
B&B – MAF GmbH & Co. KG from Hopsten, Germany, has established itself as a pioneer for the development and manufacturing of machines for the production of side gusseted bags and for equipment for the application of sliders. Now B&B – MAF presents a new development which cuts the investment costs for bag producers almost by half in comparison to the equipment which was necessary to produce comparable top slider bags so far.
Side gusseted bags made of plastic laminates are used for the packaging of a broad range of products. Reclosable systems at the bag head (top slider) allow the consumer to open the bag easily, remove a dose of the packaged product and easily reclose the bag afterwards. Since the beginning of the 1990s, B&B-MAF is involved in the development of side gusseted bags. Solutions for a wide variety of functional auxiliary features at the bag such as handles, easy opening devices or reclosable systems have been realized in close collaboration with packaging enterprises.
The top slider attached to the inside of the bag head clearly emerges to be the most func-tional and most important application. Side gusseted bags with top slider are considered the most popular bags in the market. The reclosable system creates a remarkable added value and is perceived as a considerable additional benefit by the consumer.
