The Efficiency of Square Packaging

The efficiency of square packaging in storage is considerable, as it helps both to save space and reduce damage over the long term. Manufacturing square packaging is not only for those who do not want to see loaded pallets or boxes that are not stacked perfectly at right angles; it also brings multiple benefits.

Square packaging has corners with 90-degree angles. This means that the sides are vertical, while the top and bottom are horizontal, making it one of the most widely used types of packaging on the market.

Here are 4 reasons why this type of packaging is important:

1. It supports more weight

When the sides of stacked packaging are not aligned, they lose approximately 30% of their stacking strength.

This is a serious drawback in the era we live in, when reducing primary and secondary packaging materials is important.

That is why square packaging is a suitable choice for storing products.

2. It can be easily palletised and stored

The sides, as well as the lid and base, make it easier to stack the packaging on tight, compact pallets with straight sides. This type of pallet is easier to wrap with stretch film and less prone to damage, as it moves more easily through the supply chain.

3. Products are packaged more effectively

It is much easier to package using a cardboard box, especially when it is possible to use an automatic box-packing machine.

The way the product is arranged inside the box is also important, so that too many empty spaces are not left. If the remaining space is too large, it can be filled using an automatic paper packaging system, polyurethane foam packaging or an automated foam packaging system, as well as bubble wrap.

4. It provides stability

Time is valuable and costly when packaging machines become overloaded. They operate most effectively when supplied with uniform, square packaging.

It is quite difficult to package cardboard boxes manually and consistently. That is why any automated machinery is efficient, saving you both time and effort.
