Why square bottom?

Why choose a square bottom SOS paper bag machine?

SOS square bottom bags in roll-fed production

Lower investment, faster payback

The SPBM series is the most cost-effective entry into paper bag manufacturing. Perfect for entrepreneurs and established converters adding SOS bag capability. Servo drive with PLC and touchscreen gives you precision production at a lower investment than a fully automatic machine with handles. All-servo option available for maximum automation.

Burger and grocery SOS bags, food-grade output

Proven SOS bag format

SOS (Self Opening Sack) bags are the most widely used format in grocery, food service, and retail packaging. Clean square bottom, self-opening design, food-grade compatible. From burger chains to pharmacy counters — SOS bags are everywhere, and demand is growing as plastic bans expand globally.

Servo drive system with PLC and touchscreen control

Servo-driven precision

Servo motors ensure accuracy in bag dimensions and folding. Quick changeover with servo on each axis reduces setting time considerably. On-the-run adjustments possible from the touchscreen — no need to stop the machine for minor changes. Lower wastage, reduced maintenance, and consistent bag quality in every batch. All-servo option available for full servo control on every axis.

Built to perform

Engineering that keeps production running.

Every SPBM is engineered for one thing: uninterrupted, high-speed bag production with zero compromises on quality.

Print-to-cut accuracy under 1 mm

High-speed print mark sensor locks onto your artwork registration mark and adjusts cut position in real time. Every printed bag comes out aligned — no drift, no waste, no manual correction mid-run.

75-minute full changeover

Complete job-to-job changeover — paper roll, bag size, glue settings — in around 75 minutes. With the all-servo option, tube forming and gusset adjustments are done from the touchscreen, cutting changeover time further.

Auto batch count & separation

Set your batch size on the HMI. The machine counts, and at every batch boundary kicks one bag slightly out of the stack. Your operator picks up exact bundles without stopping or hand-counting.

Pressurized glue delivery

Glue flows one way from a pressurized tank directly to the glue duct — constant pressure, consistent bead, no recirculation. Bottom coating and side gluing fed by the same system. No solidification, no nozzle clogging, no manual refilling during runs.

Roll to finished bag — single pass

Feed a paper roll at one end, collect finished square bottom bags at the other. No intermediate steps, no offline operations. Option to add an inline flexographic printing attachment — print + bag in one continuous pass.

PLC + servo + production MIS

Industrial PLC with servo drives controls every critical axis. Touchscreen HMI gives real-time speed, count, temperature and fault data on one dashboard. Built-in production MIS tracks output, waste, downtime and efficiency.

Frequently asked questions

Questions about the SPBM Series?

A square bottom (also called block bottom or SOS) paper bag making machine produces flat-bottom paper bags from roll-fed kraft paper. The SPBM machine does side gluing, paper cutting, bottom folding, bottom gluing, and bag formation in one continuous process. These bags stand upright and open by themselves — commonly used at grocery stores, restaurants, pharmacies, and retail counters.
SPBM pricing depends on the model and configuration. The SPBM 200 (entry level) is the most affordable, the SPBM 360 is the best-selling mid-range, and the SPBM-X-Prime and SPBM 450 are priced higher based on wider bag width and higher capacity. Contact our sales team for a detailed quotation including GST, packing, transit insurance, and installation.
The three key differentiators are bag width, gusset (bottom size), and cut length. SPBM 200 makes bags up to 200 mm wide (small pharmacy/grocery). SPBM 360 goes up to 360 mm — the most popular for food service and general retail. SPBM-X-Prime is derived from the Auto-X-Prime platform with the widest bag range (up to 450 mm) and longest cut length (605 mm). SPBM 450 handles heavy-duty large bags up to 450 mm wide for clothing, bulk grocery, and industrial packaging.
The SPBM-X-Prime is a semi-automatic version of our flagship Auto-X-Prime fully automatic machine. It uses the same proven bag-forming platform but without the inline handle pasting unit — giving you X-Prime-level bag quality at a lower investment point. It handles the widest bag range in the SPBM family (150–450 mm) and the longest cut length (280–605 mm).
Brown kraft paper, white kraft, MG paper, food-grade paper, coated paper, and pre-printed rolls. Paper weight ranges from 45 GSM (SPBM 200) to 140 GSM across all models. Both printed and unprinted rolls are supported — the print mark sensor ensures precise cut-to-print registration.
SPBM 200 runs at up to 260 pcs/min, SPBM 360 at up to 200 pcs/min, and SPBM-X-Prime and SPBM 450 at up to 180 pcs/min. Actual production speed depends on paper quality, adhesive, bag dimensions, operator experience, and work conditions.
