Sealed Air Corporation SEE announced the launch of an automated bagging system — AUTOBAG 850HB Hybrid Bagging Machine. This move will help the company offer a full range of protective packaging solutions.

Details of Sealed Air’s New Product  

AUTOBAG 850HB Hybrid Bagging is the latest addition to Sealed Air’s existing AUTOBAG brand portfolio that can run both poly and paper mailers. This feature eliminates the need for two separate machines.

The launch is in sync with Sealed Air’s strategy to advance as a sole provider for fulfillment operations.

AUTOBAG 850HB Hybrid Bagging offers on-bag printing that enables shipping and compliance information. It also offers a quick transition between bag types.

This system gives fulfillment teams the flexibility to choose the best packaging for each order, supporting curbside-recyclable formats and boosting efficiency.
