Packaging – the inconspicuous victim of time
In a company, marketing, sales, production are handled, but we often forget about the packaging process that passes through hundreds of hands every day. Although flexible, manual packaging takes time, energy and often generates unnecessary waste.
Just imagine if an employee spends 3 minutes packing one parcel and has 100 parcels a day, that’s over 100 hours of work in a month! And that’s just one worker…
The solution? Packaging automation
Today, automatic and semi-automatic packaging is not only the prerogative of large companies. Investment in packaging technology pays off very quickly. Machines such as strapping machines, wrapping machines or carton folders can:
- speed up the whole process by 50-80 %
- reduce the physical burden on workers
- reduce material consumption (e.g. stretch film or tape)
- avoid packaging errors (tape not removed, loose packaging…)
- increase transport safety
Example from practice
Our company W rent delivered an automatic strapping and wrapping system to a plant where they packed wooden profiles on a daily basis. Once installed, the machine reduced labour costs by 2 positions and speeded up dispatch by 40%. In addition, the packaging material was optimized, saving the company hundreds of euros per month.
When is it worth switching to an automatic machine?
Consider this if:
– you pack more than 50 packages/pallets per day
– you have seasonal fluctuations (Christmas, Black Friday…)
– you are running out of staff or facing turnover
– you need consistent quality and reliability
Time is money – and packing is an area where both can be saved. Modern packaging machines are not just about technology, but about efficiency, safety and cost savings.
