Automate bag preparation, shipping-label printing and sealing while the operator loads each item. Compare the FPM-600 and PEM-500 for your product sizes, bag requirements and order workflow.
Both machines automatically form and open the bag while the operator places each item inside. Both take order data from your ERP or WMS and automate real-time label printing and application, sealing and discharge. The differences are bag width and how the sealed parcel leaves the machine.
Flat-push model
Smart packaging model
Not sure which model fits? Send peak hourly orders, item sizes, bag sizes and the ERP/WMS workflow. NetRay will say which machine matches, or say honestly if neither does.
A barcode scan can release the order from the ERP or WMS. That scan does not, by itself, confirm every SKU on the order. Scan verification before the label prints is optional on both machines. Lines that already verify upstream can run without it.
Both machines are specified for white PE continuous-roll bags. White, green and black rolls are stocked. Other colors and print are made to order. Stock color is not the same thing as which films the machine can run.

The size-range screen compares published bag width and length only, treating the first number as width and the second as length. Final bag compatibility is confirmed against the selected machine and a bag sample. Roll diameter, core, film thickness, wind direction and perforation are part of that check. 12C is the published stock label; the machine film-thickness range is 0.03–0.2 mm, and those two figures are not converted into each other here.
Rated machine specifications. Final configuration depends on your item mix, bag sizes and how your ERP releases orders.

Bags are produced and stocked in roll form; each machine ships in a plywood export crate on a pallet.
A packing machine rarely arrives alone. Measuring the item before it is bagged is a different step from measuring the finished parcel. Where a DWS sits on the line is set per project.
Capture barcode, weight and dimensions in one pass.
Route parcels by destination, courier or tracking logic.
For orders packed by hand — scan, label, pack and record video.
Handheld scanning across picking, packing and dispatch.
That depends on your order profile, item mix, bag sizes and how your ERP releases orders. Many operations start with one measurable bottleneck before expanding. Send the current pack process and NetRay will review it before recommending a configuration.
