PAC Machinery has introduced a new packaging innovation aimed at solving a persistent issue in fulfillment operations: barcode scanning errors caused by multiple visible barcodes. The company’s Barcode Blocking Poly Bags, now available to the broader market, are designed to improve scan accuracy and reduce errors, ultimately streamlining fulfillment and reducing operational disruptions.
The patent-pending bags are compatible with automated bagging machines and high-speed side sealers, making them suitable for integration into existing fulfillment workflows. PAC Machinery describes them as “a simple fix for a common Amazon seller headache—barcode scanning errors.”
With their unique construction, these specialized bags “make internal product barcodes and QR codes unscannable,” removing the need for manual relabeling and reducing fulfillment delays and packing mistakes. This addresses a frequent pain point for online sellers, especially those operating through platforms such as Amazon.
Key features of PAC Machinery’s Barcode Blocking Poly Bags include:
- “Barcode Blocking Technology” that ensures only the correct external barcode is scanned during fulfillment;
- “Amazon Compliant” design with printed suffocation warnings to meet FBA poly bag standards;
- “Durable 2 Mil Material” for reliable protection and a professional appearance;
- A “white square placeholder for printing shipping information,” which allows barcodes and shipping data to be printed directly onto the bag via automated equipment—“ensuring that is the ONLY barcode that will be scannable.”
The bags are available in formats optimized for automation: “pre-opened bags on rolls for any brand of automatic bagger and as flat film for high-speed sealers.” This makes them ideal for fulfillment operations looking to increase efficiency without major system overhauls.
Already “in use by Amazon sellers and fulfillment prep centers,” the bags are now being offered widely by PAC Machinery as a go-to solution for “businesses looking to improve the packing process, reduce costs, and ensure compliance with Amazon’s FBA requirements.”
