Honeycomb Paper Making Machines

Honeycomb Paper Mailer Bag Making Machine

This machine Honeycomb Paper Mailer Bag Making Machine produces environmentally friendly cushion bags in a single inline process using kraft paper and pre-pressed honeycomb or bubble paper. It forms bags by bonding three layers of paper—two outer kraft layers with a middle honeycomb or bubble layer—using point glue application. The machine handles both standard bubble cushion bags and honeycomb cushion bags, with the ability to switch between configurations by changing the input materials. This allows packaging producers to make their own mailer bags on a roll instead of purchasing them, reducing reliance on external suppliers.

  • Makes custom-sized cushion mailer bags in-house, reducing dependency on external bag suppliers
  • Uses point glue application to bond layers, minimizing adhesive use and keeping bags lightweight
  • Produces both bubble and honeycomb cushion bags by changing input materials and setup
  • Adjustable line speed based on bag size—up to 80 bags per minute on two lines for small bags
  • Single-pass process from unwinding to cutting ensures consistent bag dimensions and reduces manual handling
Problems It Solves

Why Buyers Choose It

  • Plastic-lined mailers are being rejected by end customers in export markets due to environmental regulations
  • Purchasing finished cushion mailer bags adds a supplier margin and long replenishment cycles
  • Manual bagging is slow and inconsistent compared to automated roll-fed bagging systems
  • Inconsistent bag size and glue application from third-party suppliers lead to packing errors
  • Limited ability to customise bag size and structure when buying pre-made bags
Who It Is For

Who Runs This Machine

  • Packaging producers that already use kraft paper and want to add cushion mailer bag production
  • E-commerce fulfilment centres requiring high-volume, consistent mailer bags for shipping
  • Paper slitting houses or converters adding a value-added step to their existing kraft paper operations
  • Bagging lines that feed into automated packaging systems and need pre-opened, roll-fed bags
Application

Where This Machine Is Used

  • Protective packaging producers converting kraft and honeycomb paper into mailer bags for e-commerce fulfilment
  • 3PL operators running automated bagging lines that require consistent, pre-opened bags on a roll
  • Paper converters adding value to kraft paper reels by turning them into finished cushion mailer bags
  • E-commerce packers replacing plastic-lined mailers with paper-based cushion bags that are recyclable
  • Export packers needing to meet retailer requirements for plastic-free packaging in Europe and North America

Process

How The Machine Runs

Step 1Load three rolls of paper—two outer kraft layers and one middle honeycomb or bubble layer—onto the unwinding rack
Step 2Feed the web through the machine with computer-controlled motion for alignment and tension
Step 3Apply point glue to bond the middle layer to the outer kraft layers at fixed intervals
Step 4Fold the sides and form the bag shape using automated folding units
Step 5Cut the bag to the set length and stack or roll the finished bags

Materials

  • Kraft paper reels (70–100 gsm, 1300 mm wide)
  • Pre-pressed bubble paper (for bubble cushion bags)
  • Pre-pressed honeycomb paper (for honeycomb cushion bags)
  • Adhesive for point glue application
  • Optional soft white paper backing layer for laminated honeycomb liner

Quality Control

  • Point glue application ensures consistent bonding without overuse of adhesive
  • Computer-controlled motion system maintains alignment and prevents misfeeds
  • Automatic cutting ensures uniform bag size and edge quality
  • Machine is tested with customer-provided paper before shipment to verify performance
  • Steel body maintains dimensional stability under continuous operation

Customisation

  • Can be configured for single-line or double-line bag production based on bag size
  • Unwinding shafts can be adapted to different roll core sizes and diameters
  • Glue application pattern can be adjusted for different paper types and bag designs
  • Power supply can be built to match the voltage and frequency of the destination country
  • Machine body can be modified for different floor space or installation constraints

Certifications

  • ISO9001:2000 certificate obtained in 2005
  • CE certificate obtained in 2006
Comparison

How It Compares

Buying finished cushion mailer bagsConverting in house removes the supplier margin and allows custom bag sizes, but requires investment in machine and kraft paper inventory
Plastic-lined mailersPaper-based bags are recyclable and accepted in markets restricting plastic, though they are less moisture-resistant
Manual bag makingAutomated production is faster and more consistent, but requires setup and maintenance
Use Guide

Running It On Your Floor

  1. Ensure all three paper rolls are loaded correctly on the unwinding rack with proper alignment
  2. Set the target bag size and speed in the control panel before starting the run
  3. Test the first few bags to verify glue placement, folding accuracy, and cutting quality
  4. Keep the glue nozzles clean to prevent clogging and ensure consistent bonding
  5. Adjust the tension and alignment if the web starts to drift or the bags become misshapen
FAQ

Honeycomb Paper Mailer Bag Making Machine FAQ

What bag sizes can this machine make

Maximum bag height is 550 mm (single line) or 300 mm (double line); maximum width is 450 mm. Speed varies by size.

Can it make both honeycomb and bubble cushion bags

Yes, it can make both. For honeycomb bags, use two rolls of honeycomb paper and insert them between the kraft layers.

What power supply does it require

Standard is 380 V 50 Hz Three Phase Five Wire. We can build to your country’s voltage and frequency on request.

How fast does it run in production

Up to 50 bags per minute for large bags (500mm x 350mm), up to 80 bags per minute for small bags (300mm x 200mm) on two lines.

What is the machine footprint for installation

The machine is 32 x 2.3 x 2.4 m (L x W x H), so plan a level floor with access for a forklift and clearance for operation.
