The EM7 Packaging Machine
The Packsize EM7 is a state-of-the-art packaging machine designed to create custom-sized boxes on demand.
The Packsize EM7 can help achieving supply chain efficiencies, greater warehouse space, fewer product damages, and minimized void fill.
Here are its key features:
- On-Demand Packaging: The EM7 is perfect for complex, custom box-making needs. It streamlines the supply chain by producing boxes as needed, reducing warehouse space requirements.
- Unlimited Box Designs: With longitudinal cutting capabilities and the ability to hold up to four grades of corrugated material, the EM7 can create an endless variety of box sizes and styles.
- Robust Functions: The machine offers longitudinal and transverse cutting, creasing, and perforation. Whether it’s a single-piece order or a batch, the EM7 adapts seamlessly.
- Sustainability and Savings: By optimizing box sizes, Packsize customers use 26% less corrugated material. This not only saves money but also reduces environmental impact. Additionally, shipping box empty space is reduced by 40%.
Results and Impact
The large DIY retailer that adopted the EM7 has seen significant benefits:
- Cost Reduction: They’ve experienced a 30% reduction in corrugate spend, which directly impacts their bottom line.
- Increased Efficiency: Trailer cube utilization has increased by 35%, leading to more efficient transportation.
- Enhanced Customer Experience: Customized packaging improves the unboxing experience, making it more personalized and professional for customers.
- Sustainability: Fewer trucks on the road mean reduced carbon emissions. The initiative aligns with the retailer’s sustainability goals.
