Abstract: A system and method for labeling empty transit bags may include applying labels on bag-forming material in a roll form and then sealing and cutting the bag forming material to form individual bags. The size of the bags can be varied to provide a better fit for goods that are subsequently inserted into the bags. Labeling may be done by pre-printed labels provided in a roll stock, or may be blank labels provided in a roll stock that are printed by a printer of the system. Labeling bags when they are initially formed eliminates the need to manually label bags when they are filled with goods.
