Bag Stitching Machine (Bag Closer) Prices

Current listed prices incl. VAT (updated 1 October 2026).

How Does a Bag Closer Machine Work?

The bag's open top is fed through the machine's feed dogs; a needle and looper sew a chain stitch across it with strong thread, and a cutter trims the thread. Semi-automatic models are handled by the operator; automatic lines carry bags on a conveyor through the sewing head.

Strapping and Tray Wrapping

Current listed prices incl. VAT (updated 1 October 2026).

Strapping: a plastic band goes around the carton or bale; the tool tensions it and joins the ends with a seal. Tray wrapping: bottles or packs are wrapped in plastic film so they stay together for transport and display.
