Product Overview:

Advantages of the Flex-Pac System

The Flex-Pac™ is recommended by more OEMs (Original Equipment Manufacturers) than all other flexible packaging labelers combined. It is also the industry standard for flexible packaging labelers and has various options to suit your needs.

Additional features and benefits of the machine include:

• The Flex-Pac™ is constructed entirely of non-corrosive materials
• It is designed to integrate with your bagging/wrapping equipment
• The Flex-Pac™ is dependable, reliable, and versatile
• The machine features Direct Drive Technology which ensures “slip-free” performance in the most extreme environments
• It integrates seamlessly with virtually every bagger’s control system

Flex-Pac can be supplied as a labeling system for prime (pre-printed) labels and coupons or as a print-and-apply labeler with an integrated thermal printer.

Smooth Integration & Operation

The Flex-Pac™ machine applies pressure-sensitive labels to virtually any package or product surface, making it ideal for reclosable, production, or primary labels. Each Flex-Pac™ is custom designed for each packaging machine in your operation and expressly for your specific application.

The labeler is then tightly integrated with your current or newly purchased equipment for a perfectly smooth operation and labeling of your product. We can integrate with virtually every bag maker on the market and are able to perform a variety of label applications, including pouch, coffee bag, pillow bag, and horizontal/flow.
