Santa was generous with FFG Bags!

Just before the holidays, we commissioned a new BULLMER automatic cutting machine in our workshop.

Perfect timing — or a well-planned coincidence 😉

Why does this matter? Because cutting is where precision, efficiency and repeatability start.

✂️ Automatic cutting vs. die cutting — why both matter

Automatic cutting (BULLMER):

✅ Extreme accuracy & consistency

✅ Ideal for complex shapes, frequent design updates, short to medium runs

✅ Faster iterations during development and pilot production

⚠️ Slightly higher setup cost per run compared to steel dies

Traditional die cutting (still very much in use at FFG):

✅ Unbeatable speed and cost efficiency for large, stable volumes

✅ Robust and proven for long-running programs

⚠️ Less flexible when designs evolve or quantities fluctuate

👉 Our choice is not “either / or” — it’s “both”.

🚀 What this brings to our partners & customers

• Faster development cycles and smoother design iterations

• Better control of tolerances on technical fabrics and foams

• The ability to scale from prototypes to mass production without changing suppliers

• A manufacturing setup aligned with real-life product journeys — not just factory convenience

• 
  

At FFG Bags, investments like this are not about machines.They’re about protecting our customers’ timelines, designs, and brands.

Now… let’s see what 2026 has in store 👀
