The Christmas holidays and the end of the year are fast approaching. We hope you have enjoyed reading our weekly posts and found these articles helpful.
As this is the last article of the year, we would like to take this opportunity to thank all our readers. We hope you found our articles interesting and look forward to having you follow us again next year.
Before saying goodbye, we have gathered a few ideas about what you can do to ensure that your packaging operation runs smoothly in 2020.
Faster packaging line
Fast packaging solutions, such as ready-to-assemble boxes – Emba-Flex® boxes, can increase packaging speed by up to 30%. If you use adhesive tape, you should consider tape dispensers to make application easier and reduce the time required.
Automated packaging
Packaging automation is another solution you should consider. It is an investment that is well worth the cost and will bring numerous long-term benefits to your company. You can read more about packaging machines in this article.
Reducing damage and product returns
One of the main challenges faced by many online retailers is product damage. Always make sure that your packaging is suitable for the product and leave enough space for cushioning. Never make the mistake of overpacking. Although this may often seem tempting, packages can burst during transit due to movement and cause damage.
Delicate products look very attractive when wrapped in coloured paper, but if you do not add another type of protection, they may be damaged or even broken during transport. For these types of products, we offer solutions such as Emba Vento® boxes, which are made up of 98% air, or Emba-Snap Plus® boxes, which allow immediate visual quality control while also providing perfect protection. Here you can find some tips for saving money on packaging.
Optimising order management
The costs of picking an order are generally higher than what appears on paper. You must consider not only the management of orders, invoices, utilities and labour costs, but also the impact of accumulating purchase orders on your warehouse capacity. You can find storage solutions in this article.
Multiple orders require more intensive handling in the warehouse. Goods arrive in several batches and from different suppliers, meaning more documentation is required to place them on the shelves.
Online packaging management solutions can transform the speed and efficiency of your packaging operation. They provide 24/7 access to your purchase history and allow you to check the status of outstanding orders, making the reordering process easier and saving time.
