Header Card Packaging Machines for Flat Bottom and Stabilo Bags
SIGITASPAK supplies header card packaging machines for automatic application of cardboard headers, sleeves and card elements on flat bottom bags, Stabilo bags and other premium shelf-ready flexible packaging formats.
Header card packaging is used when manufacturers need to combine flexible film packaging with a stronger retail presentation, improved shelf visibility and a more distinctive craft-style appearance. The format is suitable for pasta, spaghetti, bread sticks, bakery products, cookies, snacks, tea, coffee, grains and other food products packed in stable retail bags.
The equipment applies a cardboard header or sleeve to the finished bag using hot melt glue. Depending on the configuration, the system can also support rivet or eyelet insertion, label application, printing and integration with VFFS packaging machines.
Header card application helps create a more visible, shelf-ready and craft-style package for food products packed in flat bottom or Stabilo bags.
Machines are designed for stable bag formats that can stand on the shelf and support cardboard headers, sleeves or decorative card elements.
Header card modules can work with VFFS machines, feeding systems, conveyors, checkweighing, coding and downstream packaging equipment.
The category includes SIGI CBA for automatic cardboard header application and SIGI CBA + SFINGE as an integrated complex for long and fragile products such as spaghetti, long pasta and bread sticks packed in bags with card headers.
A header card can carry branding, product information and visual design while the flexible bag provides sealing, product protection and transport stability. This combination is suitable for manufacturers that want to upgrade the appearance of their retail packaging without moving to a fully rigid carton format.
SIGITASPAK header card packaging machines can be supplied as standalone equipment or integrated into complete packaging lines for food manufacturers, pasta producers, bakeries, snack factories and premium retail product manufacturers in the UAE, GCC countries, the Middle East, Africa and other international markets.
