Amcor Moda Bag with Shrink Tubing
A compact, all-in-one Moda on-demand bag making and printing system for boneless or bone-in meats and cheese
The award-winning Moda Bag system vacuum-packages products from rolls of shrink tubing up to 17". High-resolution thermal transfer printing delivers crisp brand graphics in-line and eliminates the need to keep individual SKUs of printed shrink bags or labels in inventory, addressing the cost and waste of unused, obsolete packaging. The Moda Bag system is extremely change-friendly: packaging length or printing and graphics can be changed at the touch of a button, allowing packagers to pivot production quickly to meet changing SKUs, product sizes and labeling needs through on-site printing technology.
Packagers can purchase the Amcor Moda platform as an entire system or piece-by-piece; and machine solutions can be customized to fit individual operating needs and budgets.
