Why buyers work with Bags Etc
Four things you can count on, from the first conversation to the day the line runs.
Flow wrappers in stock
Machines on our floor in Santa Clarita, ready to be configured for your product. In-stock machines ship in as little as 3 days instead of waiting on a factory build. Financing available.
Free product testing
When we have the right machine here, we run your product and film, then send you the video and sample packs at no charge.
Installed and supported in the USA
Installation, operator training, maintenance plans, spare parts and technical support from our own team — and a six-month materials-and-workmanship warranty.
Machines and film from one supplier
We match the film to the machine and stand behind both, so there is never a film supplier and a machine supplier blaming each other.

Packaging Machines
Flow wrappers, vertical form fill seal, pouch and bagging systems, carton erectors, taping and strapping — chosen for your product, configured here in Santa Clarita, and supported after the sale with parts, training and service.
Most lines start with the flow wrapper and grow from there: automatic infeeds, card feeders, date coding, weighing and case sealing can be added as volume grows.
Packaging machine categories
Flow wrapping, bag forming, pouch filling, case forming, sealing and bundling — with the parts, film and service behind each one.
Flow wrappers: our core line
Flow wrappers are our core line: standard (overfeed) and inverted full-servo models that wrap baked goods, bars, confectionery, frozen desserts, trading cards, hardware and more in a sealed film package, at manufacturer-rated speeds from 30 to 225 cycles per minute depending on the model. Film widths run from 250 mm to 700 mm across the range. Inverted models feed the film from below, so delicate, sticky or tray-packed products are placed onto the film rather than pushed along it.
Every model can be fitted with date coders, card feeders, automatic infeeds, hang-hole options and nitrogen flush, and we test your product on the machine before you buy.
Horizontal flow wrappers
Four of our ten models. Speeds are manufacturer-rated cycles per minute; actual output depends on your product, film and seal.
