equipment for bagging objects
(OP)
I must find/devise equipment to facilitate putting an object into a plastic bag, add a card header to the bag and neatly staple it. The object is 1" X 2.75" X 9.75", fairly hard rubber. Weighs .3 lb. Bag is .002 polyethylene, 3' wide, 13" tall. The header is .010 card, 3.5 x 4 folded to 3.5 x 2.
Production is small, about 100 per month. Work will be done by my grandsons chained to the workbench.
I am well along with the design of this device, but it occurs to me that this can't be a new problem, and that a solution must be avaiable at reasonable cost. Can you help?

RE: equipment for bagging objects
At 100/mo, your biggest problems will be forgetting how it was done the last time, exactly, and dust on the production machinery. So make simple manual tooling, document the process you want, including photographs, and bundle it into a little workstation.

ASSURE QUALITY.
I want to have all the headers going on straight, no twisted bags, etc.
Does this thought change your answers?

And a nice 8x10 glossy of what it's _supposed_ to look like, hung right above the workstation.
Then you inspect the first five or so of every batch just to make sure everyone is trying to do the same thing.
