With damage rates during shipping around the 10% mark, it’s time to reconsider the best way to package products to protect items from the damage of any major shipping provider.

Consider the following when you start the process of determining if automating is right for your facility. 1. How many boxes are you sealing and how many do you foresee sealing?

2. How are you currently sealing and how many people does it take?

3. What types of boxes are sealing? Are they all uniform shapes or do they change frequently? Are they fragile? Are they shaped irregularly? Are they light or heavy?

4. Could you improve throughput and increase production with automating the sealing process?

5. Are you experiencing shipping damages or theft? If so, do you know what is causing the damage or why it is easy for theft to occur?

INCREASED THROUGHPUT

Doing more with less is the mantra of the new American workplace.

With a case sealer at the end of your line that is sealing faster than manual sealing rates, you’re automatically doing more with less.

Faster sealing rates mean less production time and higher production output on a daily basis.

Tape is the most common type of closure used in shipping. Think back: nearly 1 in 10 boxes that is shipped is damaged.

 According to UPS, improper tape application is the leading cause of closure failure on a shipped box.

Inconsistently sealed boxes create weak seals, leading to potential theft, damage, or product contamination.

Increased ThroughputIf you’re moving product faster than you’ve got boxes to pack them in, then you’ve bottlenecked your production and you’re losing money every second that you’re not pushing product out.   Damage and Theft ReductionMachine sealed boxes are more securely sealed, significantly reducing costly product damage resulting from sloppily assembled and sealed cases. And if you’ve got people sealing boxes, you’re more likely than not going to see poor adhesion rates.  Material SavingsMachines hold larger tape rolls, meaning that they will run out less often and will have less waste between roll changes.

Labor SavingsSince many case sealers need either minimal or no human interaction to run, decreasing the amount of human contact with the sealing process can either free employees to redirect their attention to other tasks or to reduce workforce numbers.

Safety and ErgonomicsUsing a case sealer ensures ergonomically correct working conditions; this allows workers to experience far less physically intensive strains, including lifting, reaching, bending, twisting, and gripping.
