The flexo e-com bagger has been supplied by YPS and is described as a complete game changer for totes»ISOTONER for its Billericay facility in Essex automatic bagging unit, with an internally mounted Vulcan direct apply labeller from Clearmark,” says Tom Hill, sales manager at YPS.

“Hugo Beck’s solution is tailored specifically to coping with the demands of a busy eCommerce packaging line, with its high speeds, high volume and data security,” he tells Machinery Update.

Replacing totes’ original grey mailing bags with precise-fitted packaging, the machine is able to accommodate over 95% of totes’ product range, from single pairs of socks right up to boxed pairs of wellies. “It is this responsiveness to product dimensions which makes the flexo e-com system ideal for totes’ dynamic, busy warehouse as the production does not need to be batched,” explains Hill.

Furthermore, to maintain totes’ brand consistency, YPS was able to replicate the plastics film used on the new line with the original preformed bags by colour matching the shrink film, thus creating durable, 525 mm 50 mu polythene which is 100% recyclable with a 50% post-consumer waste blend.

In operation, the machine scans each order’s unique printed barcode, and the correct customer address label is seamlessly recalled by the Vulcan. The length of each product is also detected and the flexo e-com machine then tailors the bag length to precisely match, resulting in a snug finished pack and minimised material usage. The label is applied to each bag via an all-electric system using continuous motion of the Vulcan.
