Full analysis of the price of fully automatic bag making machines: from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands, how to choose the most suitable equipment?

As core equipment in the packaging industry, the price of fully automatic bag-making machines is influenced by a variety of factors. Prices vary significantly between models on the market, ranging from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of yuan. Choosing the right equipment requires comprehensive consideration of factors such as production needs, brand quality, and service.

Fully automatic bag-making machines are essential equipment for the modern packaging industry, widely used in various fields such as food, medicine, chemicals, and daily necessities. They automate film conveying, length setting, sealing, and cutting processes, significantly improving production efficiency and bag quality.

For companies planning to purchase a fully automatic bag making machine, the most pressing question is often: "How much does a fully automatic bag making machine cost?"

1. Price range of fully automatic bag making machines

According to market research, the price range of fully automatic bag making machines is quite wide, mainly depending on the type, specifications and functions of the equipment:

• Small, basic fully automatic bag-making machines typically cost between tens of thousands and hundreds of thousands of yuan . For example, the common DFR-500-600 computerized heat-sealing and heat-cutting bag-making machines on the market cost around 38,000 yuan, while the DFHQ 600-700 fully automatic vest bag-making machines cost around 75,000 yuan.
• Medium-sized fully automatic bag making machines : Prices generally range from over 100,000 to over 200,000 yuan . These machines typically offer higher production speeds and more functional configurations.
• Large, high-end, fully automated bag-making lines : These can cost hundreds of thousands or even millions of yuan . These are often intelligent lines that integrate multiple functions and are suitable for large-scale, continuous production.

It should be noted that the above prices are only the approximate price range of the equipment itself. The actual purchase may also involve additional costs such as transportation, installation, commissioning, and training.

2. The main factors affecting the price of fully automatic bag making machines

1. Device type and function configuration

There are significant differences in prices between fully automatic bag making machines for different purposes. For example:

• The price of an ordinary vest bag making machine and a multi-functional computerized fully automatic high-speed bag making machine (supporting multiple bag types such as center seal, four-side seal, and rear insert) may differ by several times.
• Bag-making machines with special functions (such as belt-threading and roll-to-roll bag-making machines that can automatically thread ropes and punch holes) are usually more expensive than ordinary models.

2. Production capacity and efficiency

The production capacity of the equipment (usually measured in bags per minute) directly affects the price:

• Low-speed equipment (lower production efficiency) is relatively cheap.
• High-speed fully automatic bag making machines (such as some models with speeds of up to 30-130 pieces per minute) have high technical requirements and are therefore priced accordingly.

3. Degree of automation and technological content

The higher the degree of automation, the higher the price:

• Basic model : may only have basic bag making functions and simple electronic control system.
• High-end models : usually adopt advanced microcomputer control system , photoelectric eye tracking , variable frequency speed regulation , automatic counting and other automation functions, which will increase the cost of equipment.

4. Brand and after-sales service

• Equipment from well-known brands generally has higher reliability and stability, but the price is relatively high.
• The after-sales service of branded equipment is usually more complete, including installation and commissioning, operation training, repair and maintenance, etc., which will be reflected in the price of the equipment.

5. Equipment materials and manufacturing process

• Equipment made of high-quality materials and precision manufacturing processes is more durable and stable, but the production cost is also higher, which is naturally reflected in the selling price.

3. Practical suggestions for purchasing fully automatic bag making machines

1. Clarify your own production needs

Before purchasing a fully automatic bag making machine, you should fully consider:

• Type of bags produced : What kind of bags do you need to produce (t-shirt bags, flat bags, bags on rolls, special function bags, etc.)?
• Production scale : What are the average daily and monthly output requirements?
• Material type : What material (PE, PP, biodegradable material, etc.) is the film mainly made of?
• Bag size : What is the range of bag sizes that need to be produced?

2. Focus on cost-effectiveness rather than just price

When choosing equipment, you should not only focus on the initial purchase price, but also consider:

• Equipment life and stability
• Energy consumption levels and raw material utilization
• Maintenance costs and spare parts prices
• Timeliness and professionalism of after-sales service

3. Investigate supplier strength and after-sales service

It is crucial to choose a strong supplier:

• Understand the supplier's technical strength and industry reputation
• Investigate whether the after-sales service network is complete
• Ask whether installation, commissioning , operation training and other services are provided
• Understand equipment warranty policies and repair response times

4. Consider future development needs

When choosing equipment, you should be forward-looking and consider the company's possible future development needs:

• Does the equipment have certain scalability and adaptability?
• Whether it can meet the production needs of new products that may appear in the future

4. Reference of actual procurement cases

Through some actual purchasing cases, we can more intuitively understand the market price of fully automatic bag making machines:

1. In July 2025, the packaging equipment project purchased by the Wuchang Municipal Ethnic and Religious Affairs Bureau included a "multi-functional computer-controlled high-speed bag-making machine" (center seal, four-side seal, rear edge insertion, bus control). As part of a complete set of packaging equipment, the total winning bid amount was more than 1.78 million yuan.
2. In July 2025, in the equipment installation and procurement project of Yongning Food Packaging Production Line in Huaining County, the unit price of the high-speed full-servo bag feeding machine was 155,000 yuan/unit.

These cases reflect the current market demand and price levels for bag-making equipment with a higher degree of automation.

5. Future development trend of fully automatic bag making machines

With the continuous advancement of technology and changes in market demand, fully automatic bag making machines are developing in the following directions:

• The level of intelligence continues to improve : the Internet of Things and artificial intelligence technologies are increasingly used to achieve intelligent monitoring, fault diagnosis and remote maintenance.
• Production efficiency continues to improve : high speed and high efficiency have become important directions for equipment development.
• Enhanced flexible production capacity : Ability to quickly switch to produce bags of different specifications and materials to meet the production needs of small batches and multiple varieties.
• Environmental protection and energy conservation have become important considerations : more emphasis is placed on energy conservation and the use of environmentally friendly materials.

The price of a fully automatic bag-making machine is affected by many factors, ranging from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of yuan. When choosing equipment, companies should not only focus on the price tag, but should also comprehensively consider the equipment's performance, quality, after-sales service, and their actual needs , and choose the equipment with the best cost-effectiveness.

It is recommended to conduct multiple inspections and comparisons before purchasing, to check the equipment's operation in person whenever possible, and to obtain detailed information from the supplier regarding the equipment's technical specifications, usage precautions, and other information, so as to make an informed decision. A suitable fully automatic bag-making machine can not only improve production efficiency and quality, but also create greater economic benefits for the company.
