How you design a packing station

You Can Design An Efficient Packaging Station With These 5 Steps!!

5 Ways You Can Design a Successful Packing Station!!

 

1) Take Control Over the Use of Your “in-the-box” Packaging MaterialsUsing too much, too little, or the wrong packaging materials can lead to waste and product damage. Wrapnpack helps solve these issues with “fit-for-purpose” solutions that give you better control over your packing process, and put the right “in-the-box” materials in the hands of the packer:

• Multiple packaging materials conveniently integrated at individual workstations
• Programmable controls that dispense the right amount of paper or foam, and manage air fill
• Wide selection of AIRplus® air pillow and air cushion sizes
• Multiple PAPERplus® product choices to fit all cushioning and void-fill applications
• On-demand FOAMplus® systems with multiple foam density choices including our Universal Foam product that fits most packing applications and provides significant source reduction
• Standard and Biodegradable Loose-Fill
• Convenient, versatile PAD LOC® cushioning pads that cost-effectively replace custom packaging materials

2) Consider the CartonWhen it comes to the carton there are two considerations relating to your “in-the-box” packaging material costs. First, training workers to use the right size carton can reduce in-the-box material usage resulting in annual savings of thousands to hundreds of thousands of dollars depending on your volume. Second, with the use of less durable cost-saving cartons it’s important to know that you can rely on Storopack packaging materials to support the carton and protect your products without added expense.

3) Plan for Sufficient WorkspaceUsing workspace efficiently is key. Crowding the packing area can interfere with workflow and slow down production. Again Storopack provides multiple options to utilize space as efficiently as possible and keep production moving.

• On-demand systems for air, foam and paper products
• Small footprint machines
• Integrated Delivery Systems providing materials to multiple work stations from a single source
• Overhead delivery and other space-saving storage
• Custom modification of machines to integrate directly into a worktable or speed line
• Air bag systems with automatic supply checks
• Automatic cushion film coiler

4) Automate in-the-box Packaging with ConfidenceWhile there is automated equipment offered for many packing tasks, you’ll find that incorporating Storopack machines for your in-the-box packaging materials provides multiple advantages. In addition, Storopack equipment is of the highest quality. Engineered to meet the needs of today’s packaging challenges and supported by thorough training and prompt professional service our systems offer:

• Speed and efficiency
• Easy and reliable operation
• Ease of integration
• The latest technology and capabilities

5) Design Packaging Stations with the Worker in MindProviding workers with proper ergonomics helps to prevent on-the-job injuries and increase throughput. Storopack machines and products provide the latest technology and worker-focused features. Plus, our expert integration engineers plan for optimal placement to ensure working comfort that enhances productivity.

• Stands that swivel and adjust to operator height
• Material loading accessibility and weight considerations
• Automated separation and cutting of materials to minimize handling
• Careful planning and placement to optimize productivity
