Fully automatic paper bag making machine.

Fully automatic square bottom paper bag machine with handle — the tube, the block bottom and the twisted or flat handle, all formed inline in a single pass. Dual mould, full servo, up to 150 bags per minute. Four models from 360 mm to 560 mm, including the flagship X-Prime.

Why the AUTO Series

The complete bag, in one continuous pass.

Everything that used to need three machines and manual handling now happens inline — from kraft reel to stacked, handle-ready bag.

Dual mould · up to 150 bags/min

Two forming moulds work in parallel, roughly doubling output over a single-mould line without sacrificing bottom-fold accuracy.

Inline handle pasting

Twisted-rope or flat paper handles are formed and pasted in the same pass — single or double handle, no secondary machine.

Full servo · PLC + HMI

Servo-driven axes with a touchscreen recipe system — change bag size in minutes and store settings per job.

Internet-enabled production

Web-connected production management shows live output, downtime and job progress from any device.

Hot & cold glueing

Combined hot-melt and cold-glue stations for strong bottom seals and clean handle bonds across paper grades.

Colour-mark tracking · inline print

Register pre-printed reels precisely, or add an inline flexo print unit to print and bag in a single operation.

How it works

How a fully automatic paper bag machine works.

From paper roll to finished bag. 14 steps. Single pass.

Unwind & printing
1. Mother roll unwind
2. Inline printing (optional)

3. Perforation for main cutter
4. Cold glue patch application
5. Handle stream feed-in ← from parallel handle maker
6. Handle cut & place (servo)
7. Handle press & bond

Delivery
14. Finished bag at output table
Parallel process: the handle making machine runs simultaneously, producing a continuous stream of twisted rope or flat handles. This stream is fed directly into Step 5, where the handle placement unit pulls, cuts, and places handles on the mother roll — all servo-controlled.

FAQ

Fully automatic paper bag machine — questions.

A fully automatic paper bag making machine forms the paper tube, creates the square (block) bottom and pastes the handle inline in a single continuous pass from a roll of kraft paper — with no manual handling between stages. The Prakash AUTO Series runs at up to 150 bags per minute under full servo and PLC + HMI control.
The number indicates the maximum bag width in millimetres — AUTO 360 up to 360mm (entry-level), AUTO 460 up to 460mm (large retail) and AUTO 560 up to 560mm — the widest bags in the market, for extra-large and garment bags. The X-Prime is the flagship: the most advanced model with the newest engineering, running mid-size bags (200–450mm) at the full 150 bags per minute.
Yes. The AUTO Series pastes twisted-rope or flat paper handles inline as part of the same pass — single or double handle. No separate handle-pasting step is required.
With dual-mould technology the AUTO Series produces up to 150 finished square-bottom bags with handle per minute — 150 bags/min on AUTO-360 and X-Prime, 120 on AUTO-460 and 100 on AUTO-560, depending on bag size and paper grade.
The machine runs on roll-fed virgin and recycled kraft paper, from 80 up to 150 GSM depending on model (AUTO-360: 80–130 · X-Prime and AUTO-460: 80–140 · AUTO-560: 90–150), and supports pre-printed reels with colour-mark tracking for registered artwork.
