This research study was undertaken to come up with a design of a low cost bread packaging machine suitable for use by small scale bakeries which handle about 3000 to 5000 loaves a day, to improve on the prevalent manual bagging practice. An evaluation of the literature pertaining to bread packaging machines and their components was done to come up with a robust design. Three design concepts of the machine were generated, and an improved heat press packaging mechanism was further developed into a detailed design. An assembly and part drawings were also done to enable manufacture in future. An economic analysis was also done to establish the cost, which was found to be about $5 900 to make the prototype. The design could further be improved on plastic clip closure mechanism for effectiveness. The implementation of this project can have a positive impact on the production scale of small scale bakeries.
