Systems and methods for packaging instruments or other items with bag making features

A system for making a bag, the system comprising:

• a bagmaker, the bagmaker including:
• at least two roller modules for supplying and directing feeding of a plurality of widths of tubing;
• a motor creating a motion of one of the at least two roller modules, the selected one of the at least two roller modules being interoperable with a corresponding selected one of the plurality of widths of tubing to form a bag of a determined width from the selected tubing, the determined width corresponding to a size of an item to be contained in the bag;
• a bag cutter;
• a heat sealing device;
• and
• a controller configured to selectively control operation of the bagmaker to:
• feed a selective length of the selected tubing and form the bag of the determined width from the selected tubing;
• heat seal at least a first end of the selected tubing to form one closed and sealed end thereof;
• and
• cut the selected tubing.

A system for making a bag, the system comprising:

• a bagmaker, the bagmaker including:
• at least two roller modules for supplying and directing feeding of a plurality of widths of tubing, wherein the at least two roller modules are rotatable about a single axis, wherein each of the at least two roller modules is individually actionable via a clutch;
• a motor creating a motion of one of the at least two roller modules, the selected one of the at least two roller modules being interoperable with a corresponding selected one of the plurality of widths of tubing to form a bag of a determined width from the selected tubing, the determined width corresponding to a size of an item to be contained in the bag;
• a bag cutter;
• a heat sealing device;
• and
• a controller configured to selectively control operation of the bagmaker to:
• feed a selective length of the selected tubing and form the bag of the determined width from the selected tubing;
• cut the selected tubing;
• and
• heat seal the selected tubing to form at least one closed and sealed end thereof.
