• Binding/Packing Machine

By attaching it to bags of food containing multiple items, the convenience of your products will be enhanced, and it will also help reduce food waste.

Familiar as the fastener for bread bags, the "Bag Closure" allows for repeated opening and closing. *While it may be strongly associated with "something that secures bread bags," it is actively used in various fields such as vegetables, fruits, noodles, and processed foods. **Benefits for Food Companies** Using machines to quickly carry out bag sealing operations improves operational efficiency and reduces burdens. **Benefits for Consumers** It is convenient for storing food that cannot be consumed in one sitting, as it allows for easy opening and closing of bags, helping to reduce food waste. Closures are attached to bags by food companies and passed on to consumers. The closures are shipped in a roll form, so by setting them in a dedicated sealing machine, sealing can be done smoothly at high speed. *It is also possible to manually cut and attach the closures to bags without using a sealing machine. We offer a wide variety of sizes and color options. *Environmentally friendly products are also available. We will propose closures and sealing machines that meet your needs according to the type of bag, size, product weight, and packaging line layout.
