Case Sealing Automation is Fast and Effective.
Case sealing is often one of the most time-consuming parts of the packaging process. Therefore, automation can help to transform the way businesses approach this essential task. Using case sealers or gummed paper tape dispensers can quickly improve productivity. It does not have to break the bank either – there are options for a range of budgets.
Sealing a cardboard box can consume 60% of your overall packing time. Therefore, it is a great area to review when you need to increase your productivity. Speeding up case taping can be a big productivity win. Using a case sealing machine or automatic tape dispenser can be key to doing this.
An automatic case sealer will automatically fold the top flaps on a box, dispense tape or glue and consistently seal it every time. This not only improves overall productivity but also frees up workforce for more complex tasks.
Cost-Saving Benefits of Efficient Carton Sealing. Investing in automation may seem expensive at first, but the long-term advantages are worth the initial investment. Plus, there are lower-cost options like gummed paper tape dispensers that can work for smaller budgets.
In terms of cost-saving benefits of using a case sealer or electronic dispenser, key advantages are:
Lower material costs – save money on tape by using the right amount of material each time, allowing you to monitor and control your spending on tape.
Labor cost savings – as the packing time is much quicker, your operators can manage increased throughput. You can also reduce the need for temporary staff during peak periods.
Reduced damage and returns – secure, consistent sealing can reduce damages and returns. In turn, this lowers waste and costs associated with this process.
ROI and Benefits - Automating sealing using a case sealer or electronic dispenser saves money in so many ways. Because of this, the investment can often pay off in months rather than years.
