1. Opt for fast packaging

Let’s start by introducing you to some of the must-haves in the fast-pack family. Some of them may seem unimportant or even trivial to you, but they are real time-savers in every order processing, so that time saved can be invested in another step to reduce errors as much as possible. Here are the RAJA packs that will make you speed up the pace:

► Shipping pouches

You might think that shipping pouches are only used to send clothes, but more and more companies are using them for more delicate products, such as smartphones. It’s a more cost-effective solution when your logistics centre isn’t too far from your customer. Then, these pouches are just as efficient as cardboard boxes

• They are ready to use (unlike a crate that has to be assembled).
• They take up less space and are lighter, so your shipping costs go down.

► Tied plastic pouches

The pockets are attached together with a wall bracket, so as soon as you detach one, the next one is already operational. Thanks to their adhesive closure, they close instantly. If you pack a lot of products per day, these pockets will save you a lot of time. Ready for a speed contest between colleagues?

► Self-bottom crates

A self-bottom crate has a unique bottom. Simply press the sidewalls and the crate transforms. This crate reduces the amount of handling by your packer and is 2.5 times faster to assemble than a normal crate.

2. Choose efficient cushioning material

If you need to fill your packages super fast and protect your products at the same time, the solutions below are for you:

► Material with integrated cushioning

Why does it save you time? Simple: it limits the amount of handling and extra cushioning material. Everything is in one package. Convenient, isn’t it? Several models are available: envelopes with foam or bubble film, boxes with foam or cushioning film, etc

.

With a dispenser box, your cushioning material is ready to use all the time. Plus, the paper is pre-cut which saves you even more time. If your packers prepare < 20 orders/day, you should invest in an air or paper cushioning system. This way, your packers will get a constant flow of cushioning material.

► Customised boxes

Do you often pack similar sized products? If so, why not use bespoke crates? The better the crate fits your products, the less cushioning material you’ll need. As a result, your packs will be ready for the next step we’ll discuss below more quickly.

3. Close fast… and better

Let’s continue on our way and start the packaging sealing phase. Reliable sealing is a crucial step in the order processing process. A well-sealed package is a guarantee for a smooth shipment.

” It’s possible! All you need is a case with an adhesive closure. A little extra that will save you precious time every time you close cases or pouches.

One machine you can easily go full speed ahead with is the case closing machine. As the name suggests, it automates the closing of your packages, so it allows you to work at a steady and fast pace. Combined with a conveyor, you achieve ultimate productivity. This will ensure constant supply and removal of packages.
