AT Information Products (AT INFO) is proud to announce the release of the RF Lite Pouch, a high-speed feeding system designed specifically for the automatic coding of flat-form bags and pouches. Compact and efficient, this system is the first of its kind to combine vacuum feeding with Markoprint® industrial coding delivering speed, precision, and flexibility to flexible packaging operations.
Why Flexible Packaging Needs a Smarter Coding System
As flexible packaging becomes more common, manufacturers face challenges when printing directly onto pre-made or resealable pouches. Traditional friction feeders often fall short, especially when dealing with thin or non-uniform materials. The RF Lite Pouch solves these challenges with a vacuum-based high-speed feeding system, offering off-line coding that’s fast, accurate, and easy to integrate into existing workflows.
Key Benefits of the RF Lite Pouch
Vacuum pick-and-feed mechanism for smooth handling
Compact, bench-top design to save space
Top-loading hopper for uninterrupted throughput
Outfeed catcher tray for neat collection of printed pouches
Capable of handling pouch sizes from 3” x 3” to 10” x 6”, the RF Lite Pouch supports a wide range of flexible materials including plastic, Mylar, and paper. It accommodates both gusseted and resealable bags, making it a versatile addition to any packaging operation.
High-Speed Feeding Meets High-Quality Coding
Paired with Markoprint® inkjet coders, the RF Lite Pouch supports both Thermal Inkjet (TIJ) and Piezo Inkjet technologies, with a print area up to 1.3” tall. It can produce high-resolution:
Alphanumeric text
Linear and 2D GS1 barcodes
Regulatory markings and branding elements
These capabilities allow manufacturers to meet compliance requirements and branding standards without relying on costly, wasteful labels.
Advanced Feeding Technology That Sets It Apart
Unlike traditional friction-based feeders, which can struggle with lightweight or flexible substrates, the RF Lite Pouch high-speed feeding system uses vacuum suction to lift pouches from the bottom of the stack. This ensures a reliable and repeatable feed cycle, even when handling soft or resealable packaging.
The result is more consistent print placement, fewer errors, and reduced downtime—making it a smart investment for modern production lines.
Ideal for a Wide Range of Industries
Whether you’re in Food & Beverage, Cannabis, Pet Products, or Cosmetics, the RF Lite Pouch high-speed feeding system helps streamline your packaging line by enabling direct-to-pack printing. It’s a practical solution for manufacturers seeking to move away from pressure-sensitive labels in favor of more sustainable, efficient alternatives.
