Automating your packaging processes can significantly enhance your operations.

One of the primary benefits of automated packaging systems is the cost savings and efficiency improvements they bring. Automation reduces labor costs and minimizes human errors. Machines handle high order volumes, ensuring quick and accurate packaging.

What is the difference between semi-automatic and fully automatic systems?

Packaging automation is available with semi-automatic or fully automatic capabilities, which determines how much manual intervention is required by operators.

Semi-automatic systems involve a part-manual and part-automated process. For example, a box may be assembled and packed by the operator, but the machine will seal the pack.

A fully automatic packaging system will complete the task from start to finish. For example, assembling a box, adding void fill then sealing.

Below, you’ll find a range of semi-automated packaging systems that are quick and simple to install.

Electronic Gummed Paper Tape Machines: Applying tape manually can account for up to 60 % of total packing time using conventional cartons. A programmable electronic gummed tape dispenser delivers pre-cut, water-activated tape lengths at the push of a button. Not only does this speed up your process, but it’s also worth noting that water-activated tape forms a stronger bond with corrugated material too. Therefore, the finished box is tamper-evident and easily recycled!

Void Fill Systems: Automated void fill systems use air pillows or paper to protect products during shipping by filling empty spaces in packaging. These are perfect for businesses that ship delicate or oddly shaped items and want to make sure they arrive safely. Void fill systems are available with a small footprint, so they can be easily installed on a pack bench to dispense void fill materials at the touch of a button – or foot pedal.

Pallet Stretch Wrapping Machines: Manual stretch wrapping is time-consuming and inconsistent. Semi-automatic pallet wrappers automate this step so workers can move on to the next pallet immediately.

Benefits of using a stretch wrapping machine include efficient use of film, minimizes waste, lowers your cost to wrap a pallet, Improved load stability, secures loads for easy stacking and product protection.
