​Benefits of a Case Erector

Speed and Efficiency: Automatic carton erectors drastically reduce the time and effort required for box assembly. Some models offer a 233% productivity increase compared to manual processes. Case erecting machines erect and seal boxes at a much faster rate than manual methods. This significantly boosts overall productivity.

Precision and Consistency: Manual processes come with the risk of human error. Case erectors ensure precise and consistent results when assembling cardboard boxes. This leads to improved product protection during transit and enhances the overall quality of your packaging. Plus, if you are palletizing your product, case erectors can provide square cases every time, which means they are easier to stack as well.

Environmental Impact: The precision and consistency associated with a case erector can also reduce your environmental impact. Erectors eliminate waste that human error can produce, resulting in less waste to recycle or dispose of.

In addition, square cases every time can help manage your package cubage minimizing CO2 emissions during transport. Another eco-friendly benefit is reducing damage in transit. This is because it cuts out the potential emissions (and cost) associated with reverse logistics.

Enhanced Workplace Safety: Many manual processes, such as box assembly, packing and sealing, can lead to repetitive strain injuries and staff fatigue. By automating the box erecting process, case erectors contribute to a safer working environment by minimizing physical strain on your team.

Improved Brand Image: Consistently well-packaged products contribute to a positive brand image. Using a case erector ensures that your boxes are neatly and professionally assembled – reflecting your brand image. This can be particularly important in the online retail sector, where packaging is often the first physical touchpoint with a business!

Cost Savings: When you think about investing in a case erector (or any packaging machinery) cost savings might not be the first thing that comes to mind! However, while the initial investment in a case erector may seem substantial, the long-term cost savings are significant.

Due to the efficiencies offered by a case erector, you can reduce labor costs, including the need for temporary labor during peak times. Plus, you can often reduce the amount of packing material you are using, which results in further savings.
