Case erectors make packaging more efficient, minimizing waste, saving on labor costs, and protecting products during shipping and handling. Explore four reasons to add a case erector to your packaging process.
1. Efficient Box Forming
Manual box assembly can be labor-intensive and time-consuming. A case erector automates box forming, significantly reducing the time and labor required.
Case erectors quickly assemble boxes and seal the bottoms so they’re ready for filling. Streamlining the packaging process makes it easier to meet production demands within certain deadlines and frees staff up for other tasks.
2. Accurate and Consistent Boxes
Case erectors don’t just save time; they also improve the accuracy and consistency of formed boxes. Inconsistent box dimensions and tape applications can lead to packaging defects and potential product damage.
Square boxes can withstand more weight and pressure than boxes with irregular dimensions, making damage less likely. Packages that aren’t square are weaker and more likely to get damaged when stacked.
A case erector forms boxes precisely and tapes consistently, eliminating variations caused by human inaccuracy. Uniform boxes provide the highest level of product protection and enhance customer satisfaction and trust.
3. Cost Savings
Another reason to add a case erector to your packaging process is that the machine provides significant long-term cost savings. One way case erectors reduce costs is by lowering the reliance on human labor while increasing productivity.
Another way case erectors save on packaging costs is by reducing material waste. Packaging efficiently and uniformly ensures you don’t overspend on materials.
4. Workplace Safety
Finally, manual box assembly puts workers at risk of repetitive strain and possible injury. Repetitive motions and heavy lifting can cause musculoskeletal injuries.
Using a case erector minimizes physical strain on your staff, reducing the risk of injuries and creating a safer work environment. Additionally, the implementation of a case erector allows you to reassign your workforce to other tasks.
