Plascon Blown Films provides bags for manual and automated bag insertion systems. We work directly with you to manufacture a bag that to fit your specific application and machinery.

Plascon is also the North and South American distributor for Niverplast's manual bag insertion unit, the EasyOpen Bag Placement System. The EasyOpen unit greatly increases the speed of bag insertion into a box or carton while improving the ergonomics of the task and lowering risk of contamination from handling.

EasyOpen is an ingenious and internationally patented bag hanging system that consists of a perforation, an indentation and special pins for bundling and hanging. First, the side of the bag is loosened and the hands can be put into the bag. If hands are pushed down, the bag is placed into the outside container - a box, carton, or crate. The rear side is loosened automatically. The procedure is up to 50% faster than traditional bag insertion methods such as using bags on a reel and inserting individually. The EasyOpen stand is mobile with adjustable height and can hold two wickets of different bags, one on each side.

The EasyOpen manual bag insertion system is perfect for packaging all types of product that require a liner inside of a box or carton or bag-in-box packaging including:

• Semi-Liquids - Oils and Fats, Process Cheese, Fondant Sugar
• Frozen Foods - Fruit and Vegetables, Fish, Meat
• Breads - Baquettes, Ciabattas, Buns, etc.
• Powders - spice mixes, flour, sugar
• Food ingredients - nuts, dried fruits, chocolate
• Plastic Parts
• Metal Parts
• Resins
• Pigments

In studies conducted by Niverplast, a typical worker can insert 200 bags into boxes in 1 hour. Using the round number of $10/hour for labor, that calculates out to a labor cost of $50/1000 bag insertions. Use of the EasyOpen Manual Bag Insertion system can increase the rate of bag insertion by up to 50%, lowering labor costs in the example to only $33/1000 bag insertion while greatly improving bag sanitation and workplace ergonomics.

Plascon provides both the EasyOpen Bag Placement System and the bags needed for your specific application.
