Two very different machines can sit under the heading of packaging printing converting: one prints directly onto plastic bags, the other slits and rewinds label rolls. If you are buying for a small packaging or labeling operation, the decision is less about which is 'better' and more about which production step you need to automate next.
Quick verdict
Go with the Fully Automatic Small Paging Machine (USD 1,129.00) when your priority is printing labels directly onto plastic bags. Choose the Roll Slitting Machine & Rewinding Machine (USD 3,000.00) when you already have printed rolls and need to cut and rewind them into usable label rolls. The two products serve different stages of the label lifecycle, so your workflow dictates the right pick.

Where the small paging machine wins
The small paging machine focuses on printing. Its 600 DPI resolution is specified for flex, eggshell, and flexographic materials, and its print speed range of 2-12.7mm covers short label paging jobs. The pagination size range from 25 to 160mm helps it handle typical label dimensions found on plastic bags. It is the only one of the two that prints.
Where the roll slitter/rewinder wins
The roll slitting and rewinding machine focuses on finishing. It handles label roll material up to 150mm wide, accepts a 76mm inner core, and can build rolls up to 250mm outer diameter. With a rebinding speed of 0-60 m/min and rolling speed of 0-20 m/min, it is meant for converting larger printed rolls into smaller finished rolls. It does not print.
Fully automatic small paging machine for printing labels on plastic bags
For an operation that prints variable information on plastic bags, this machine puts the printing step in a compact package. The 600 DPI resolution and digital printing capability suit flexographic and eggshell materials, and the adjustable pagination from 25-160mm gives you control over label size. The trade-off is that this unit does not slit or rewind. If your finished product needs to be a neat roll, you will still need a separate rewinding step downstream.
Roll slitting machine, rewinding machine, roll label, rewinding machine label
For a shop that receives printed label rolls and needs finished rolls ready for labeling, this unit brings slitting and rewinding into one machine. It accepts web widths up to 150mm, runs on a 76mm core, and handles outer diameters up to 250mm. The 0-60 m/min rebinding speed gives a reasonable pace for batch work. The limitation is that it only processes rolls; printing is not part of this machine, and the 220V 50Hz electrical requirement needs matching shop power.
Final choice by use case
- Need to print on plastic bags first? The automatic paging machine is your pick. It covers the step from blank bags to printed labels.
- Need to prepare label rolls from printed stock? The roll slitter/rewinder is the tool for that step, turning large rolls into labeled, finished rolls.
- Need both? These machines are complementary. A realistic small packaging line would print on bags or labels and then use a rewinder for roll finishing, depending on whether your labels go straight onto bags or onto rolls.
