Food & Grocery
V-bottom and square-bottom kraft paper bag machines producing shopping bags for supermarkets, grocery stores, and food markets — the largest volume segment for kraft paper bag production.
Supermarkets and grocery stores are the largest consumers of kraft paper bags, requiring high-volume production of both V-bottom bags for lightweight produce and square-bottom bags for heavier grocery loads. BOSON's CY-Series (V-bottom) and BSQ-Series (square-bottom) machines cover the full range of grocery bag formats at production speeds up to 400 pieces per minute.
Challenges We Solve in This Market
Plastic bag bans and regulations
Governments worldwide are banning single-use plastic bags, creating explosive demand for kraft paper alternatives. A kraft paper bag machine lets you capture this growing market with a sustainable, recyclable product.
High-volume production demands
Supermarket chains order bags in the millions. BOSON machines produce up to 400 bags per minute with automatic roll handling, meeting grocery-scale volume without labor-intensive manual processes.
Bag strength for heavy grocery loads
Grocery bags must hold heavy cans, bottles, and produce without tearing. Square-bottom bags produced on the BSQ-Series stand upright and distribute weight evenly, preventing bottom blowouts.
The Dedicated Machine Combination
BOSON offers two machine families for grocery bags: the CY-Series for V-bottom bags (lightweight produce and general shopping) and the BSQ-Series for square-bottom bags (heavier grocery loads that must stand upright).
