Zim’s, Bagging company, a manufacturer of printed polyethylene rollstock, bags, and foam & bubble pouches, has invested in its first Windmoeller & Hoelscher  press – a 59” 10-color MIRAFLEX II. The new press has been placed in service and running since July 1, 2019.

We sat down and discussed bag/pouch making with Sanjay Amin from Mamata Enterprises, Inc., Scott Fuller from CMD Corporation, Raul Matos from Karlville, James F. Pease from Sun Centre USA, Jesse Rosenow from Totani America, James Russell from Modern Manufacturing Services, LLC, and Joe Vannieuwenhoven from B&B Packaging Technologies. What follows are the excerpts from that discussion.
