ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE Bag printing apparatus of known type cannot be used with a bagging machine of straight line configuration, that is, one in which the stack of bags is positioned in the line of travel of the products to be packaged, immediately below their path, and the packaged product travels on in the same direction. The novel apparatus disclosed can be used in conjunction with such machines as well as with other types of machines, including hand bagging machines. The disclosed apparatus is especially useful for print- ing on the generally horizontal upper surface of the upper uninflated bag of a stack of generally flat, uninflated bags, while an inflated bag is posit- ioned thereabove at the top of the stack for subsequently receiving a prod- uct therein. It includes a print head having a print face, preferably hor- izontally positioned, and a print head carrier for moving the print head from an inoperative position to a remote printing position along a curved path, its motion being initially away from the inoperative position, preferably in a generally horizontal direction, and finally toward the printing position in a generally perpendicular, preferably vertical, direction to the upper sur- face of the upper, uninflated bag for printing its upper surface. There may be included a bag deflector for deflecting the inflated bag from the printing position to expose at least a portion of the upper surface of the upper, un- inflated bag for printing thereon. The deflector may consist of an air jet mounted adjacent the print head for movement therewith to deflect the in- flated bag in advance of print head movement.
