| The Paddle System is the least expensive of 
			all and works very well. It does have some drawbacks that the other system do not.  Paddles are not complex and can be made for a 
			reasonable price.
 
 The Paddle System is the hardest to make ready.  It requires 
			make ready under the Paddle for the gussets
 and bottom of the bag to make sure the print is good. It also may 
			have problems with bags with handles or cords.
 The Paddle System is harder to load without the operator burning 
			their hands.  Small bags are loaded under the
 heater head so the operator puts their hands under the heater head 
			with the max clearance of the heater head up.
