Managing a warehouse in an optimal way is quite an odyssey and sometimes the logistics department is faced with small inconveniences such as space or time. A period such as Black Friday or the Christmas campaign involves a high number of shipments, so a system that allows you to speed up the parcel preparation chain is essential. Self-assembly, rapid assembly or instant assembly packaging is the best solution for speeding up the process of packing thanks to their easy assembly.
What is self-assembly packaging?
Get ready to speed up the preparation of your packages with self-assembly packaging. Yes, you read that right, self-assembly. These are cardboard boxes of different sizes that are marketed in sheet form, i.e. they are delivered completely flat. Their particularity is that they require assembly to achieve the final design of the box, which includes the bottom, sides and, in some cases, the lid; but they are designed to be assembled extremely quickly, following very simple instructions. Hence, they are considered to be almost self-assembly.
Advantages of choosing self-assembly packaging
Using this type of boxes simplifies the work so much that it will bring several benefits to your warehouse:
