Hugo Beck, an innovator in horizontal film and paper packaging machines, has introduced significant upgrades to its product line, enhancing the capabilities for e-commerce, mail order, and logistics applications.
The new paper e-com rapid machine model introduces improved speeds and efficiency to Hugo Beck’s existing portfolio. Capable of a maximum packaging speed of 900 cycles per hour, the new machine offers packaging with two sewn sides and two glued sides, ensuring secure and precise fitting shipping bags. By automatically adjusting the shipping bag size to accommodate varying product dimensions in both length and width during production, the paper e-com rapid enables efficient packaging of different product sizes in a mixed batch.

The paper e-com rapid is the latest addition to Hugo Beck’s machine line for e-commerce applications. Alongside its predecessor, the paper e-com fit, users now have access to two performance classes tailored to meet the demands of sustainable paper packaging for the e-commerce, mail order, and logistics sectors.
“Delivering sustainable packaging solutions with increased speed and efficiency continues to drive innovation at Hugo Beck,” said Timo Kollmann, Managing Director at Hugo Beck. “Our goal is to future-proof our customers' packaging processes through the integration of fully automated packaging machines like the paper e-com rapid. This helps reduce downtime, improve product packaging quality, and enhance efficiency and sustainability.”
The paper e-com fit allows for the storage of two paper rolls of different widths. After scanning the product, the machine determines the necessary paper web width and selects one of the two paper rolls, thereby minimizing paper use. In contrast, the paper e-com rapid achieves higher packaging speeds by utilising two identical paper webs.
Both the rapid and the original paper e-com fit models are designed to use minimal paper while effectively packaging goods. These machines are suitable for the direct dispatch of individual items, packing groups of products, and handling the complexities of returned goods packaging. They can process both uncoated and coated recyclable papers to create precisely fitting paper bags with two sewn sides and a glued top overlap and now as an alternative with two glued sides. By minimizing material use and adapting to various product sizes up to 200 mm tall, this range supports sustainable shipping practices within the e-commerce industry.
