Filter Tea Bag with Envelope Packing Machine for Complete Packaging Projects
Integrated flat filter tea bag machine for tea bags with thread, tag, and outer envelope.
This machine is designed for traditional flat filter tea bags that require string, tag, and an individual outer envelope. It helps tea brands and co-packers produce hygienic retail tea bags with consistent filling, sealing, tagging, and envelope wrapping in one line.
Spack Packaging configures the machine around your product sample, target fill weight, bag size, packaging material, speed requirement, and factory layout. The goal is not only to quote a machine model, but to confirm a workable packaging solution before production.

- Can be paired with date coding, counting, collection, and cartoning equipment.
Who Is This Machine For?
Best for: Tea brands, herbal tea producers, tea co-packers, and packaging factories producing flat filter tea bags with tag, string, and envelope.
Not ideal for: Not designed for pyramid nylon or PLA mesh tea bags. For pyramid or mesh tea bags, use the Pyramid Tea Bag Packing Machine.
Typical Applications
- Flat filter tea bags with outer envelope
- Herbal tea and functional tea sachets
- Retail tea bags with tag and string
- Tea co-packing and multi-SKU production
Packaging Styles and Configuration Options

Compatible Materials and Package Testing
Packaging material must be checked together with the machine. Spack Packaging can review film or pouch samples, seal temperature range, cutting quality, mark tracking, bag opening behavior, and finished pack appearance before confirming the final configuration.
Filter paper roll, tag paper, string, and outer envelope film are matched by tea bag size.
Complete Line Components
- Feeding systems: elevator, screw conveyor, vacuum feeder, hopper, working platform, or customized infeed.
- Dosing systems: auger filler, volumetric cup, pump, multihead weigher, linear weigher, electronic scale, or custom system.
- Coding and traceability: date printer, inkjet, thermal transfer printer, QR code, or batch marking.
- Inspection systems: checkweigher, metal detector, rejection system, and vision inspection options.
- End-of-line equipment: conveyors, counting table, rotary collection, cartoning, case packing, and buffer handling.
Information Needed For Quotation
| Information | Why it is needed | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Tea sample | Checks flow, dust, and filling stability. | Black tea, green tea, herbal blend, etc. |
| Target bag format | Defines tea bag and envelope material set. | Flat bag with tag, string, and envelope. |
| Fill weight | Confirms dosing system and accuracy target. | Example: 2 g or 3 g. |
| Material sample | Checks sealing and cutting. | Filter paper roll, envelope film, tag paper. |
| Output target | Defines speed and downstream equipment. | Example: 40-80 bags/min. |
Videos and Sample Results
Before final order confirmation, Spack Packaging can provide testing videos, sample pack photos, and technical feedback based on your product and packaging material. For this machine, the most useful video is normally a test run with your actual product and bag material.
