Ginny Bakes, Miami, FL, produces, packages and markets a range of gluten-free, organic, non-GMO, vegan, and kosher baked goods, including cookies, snack bars, bake mixes, crumble toppings, and “ginnyminis” (single-serve packs of bite-size cookies). These products are distributed through select retail outlets and also are available for purchase on-line (www.ginnybakes.com)

To package the ginnyminis, the bakery had been counting out six cookies, placing them in plastic trays, and then bag-wrapping the trays using a horizontal wrapper. But this system was proving to be costly in terms of packaging materials and labor time.

After evaluating more cost-effective alternatives, Ginny Bakes opted to install a vertical form/fill/seal bagging system to accommodate the ginnyminis. The baker shopped round and selected the Avatar Model A-1200 vertical form/fill/seal machine from All-Fill. It was installed in March 2013 and handles ginnymini packaging dimensions of 5.75 x 4.5 inches. The preprinted (3-color, flexo) packaging material is 70-gauge metallized, sealable, oriented polypropylene film from Belmark, Inc.
