Honeycomb Mailer Bag Making Machine
The Honeycomb Mailer Bag Making Machine produces environmentally friendly cushion bags in a single continuous process using three layers of kraft paper and a pressed honeycomb core. It forms the honeycomb structure on-line, applies glue at fixed points, folds the bag, and cuts it to size. The machine runs at 50 to 80 bags per minute depending on bag size and configuration, and is designed for use in express packaging operations that need durable, recyclable mailer bags without plastic inserts.
- Produces paper-based cushion mailer bags that replace plastic-lined or foam-filled packaging without requiring line redesign
- Single-pass operation from unwinding to cutting eliminates intermediate handling and reduces labor
- Supports both single-line and double-line bag production to match output needs for small or large bags
- Uses standard kraft paper and honeycomb paper that can be sourced locally, reducing material cost and lead time
- Computer-controlled motion system ensures consistent bag folding, gluing and cutting accuracy

- Sustainable packaging departments replacing plastic inserts with in-house paper cushioning
- Branded product companies requiring eco-friendly packaging with branding space on the outer layer
- Exporters shipping fragile items to markets with plastic packaging restrictions
Problems It Solves
- Plastic-lined mailer bags are being restricted or taxed in key export markets, requiring a paper alternative
- Buying pre-made cushion mailer bags from third parties increases cost and reduces control over delivery timing
- Foam inserts and plastic films scratch delicate surfaces like glass, polished metal, and painted finishes
- Manual bag assembly is slow, inconsistent, and increases labor cost per unit
- Lack of in-house production capacity forces reliance on external suppliers with long lead times
Technical Features
- Uses multi-point advanced motion controller technology for precise timing from unwinding to cutting
- Computer program controls the entire process from film unwinding to final bag cutting
- Supports both single-line and double-line bag production with adjustable output speed
- Glue applied at fixed points using a spray method to bond the middle honeycomb layer to the outer kraft layers
- Folding and cutting performed in-line with consistent alignment and edge quality
- Steel machine body ensures long-term structural stability under continuous operation
- Designed for three-layer construction: two outer kraft layers with a pressed honeycomb core in the middle
- Capable of handling both pressed bubble paper and honeycomb paper as the core layer

Materials It Runs
- Kraft paper 1300 mm wide (used in two or three layers)
- Honeycomb paper 500 mm wide (used as the core layer)
- Partial glue for bonding the core layer to the outer kraft layers
- Optional fire-retardant or coated kraft paper for special applications
Manufacturing and Process
- Load three rolls of kraft paper and one roll of honeycomb paper onto the unwinding rack
- Feed the layers through the machine where the honeycomb core is pressed and aligned
- Apply glue at fixed points to bond the honeycomb core to the two outer kraft layers
- Fold the bag structure along the pre-set crease lines using precision folding guides
- Cut the bag to the set dimensions using a synchronized cutting unit
- Collect finished bags in a stack or conveyor for downstream packing
Quality Control
- Glue application verified at fixed points to ensure bond strength without excess
- Bag dimensions checked against set values during trial runs on the customer's paper grade
- Folding alignment confirmed by visual inspection and mechanical stop check
- Cut edges inspected for clean separation and no tearing or misalignment
- Machine tested at full speed with sample bags to verify consistent output and timing
Certifications
- ISO 9001:2000 certificate obtained in 2005
- CE certificate obtained in 2006
Customization Options
- Bag size and line configuration (single or double) adjusted to match customer's packaging needs
- Unwinding shafts and roll holders adapted to standard core sizes and paper roll diameters
- Glue application pattern modified for different core thicknesses or material types
- Control panel language and machine manual provided in customer's preferred language
- OEM branding and labeling available on request
Compared With the Alternatives
Buying pre-made honeycomb mailer bags
In-house production removes supplier margin but requires holding raw material stock and operator time
Plastic-lined mailer bags
Paper bags are fully recyclable and compostable, though they do not provide moisture resistance
Manual bag assembly
Automated folding and cutting ensure consistent quality and higher output speed
Standard paper bag machines
This machine integrates honeycomb core formation and gluing, which standard machines do not perform
Use Guide
- Load two rolls of kraft paper and one roll of honeycomb paper onto the unwinding rack, ensuring correct alignment
- Set the target bag size and line configuration (single or double) on the control panel
- Adjust the machine speed based on bag size: 50 pcs/min for large bags, 80 pcs/min for small bags
- Run a test batch to verify glue application, folding accuracy, and cut alignment
- Check that the honeycomb core is properly inserted between the kraft layers and bonded at fixed points
- Monitor the first few bags for consistent dimensions and structural integrity before full production
