SidePouch bagging system now accommodates stand-up pouches

Automated Packaging Systems' SidePouch® FAS Sprint Revolution™ bagging system can now handle stand-up pouches from 4 to 12 in. wide and from 5 to 16.75 in. long, with gussets from 2 to 8 in. wide, in 1-in. increments.

The machine requires no special tooling to switch bag sizes and formats, and provides a solution for those customers who want to offer this type of packaging but cannot justify the expense of a hf/f/s or rotary pouch system.
