Tailor-made box

Secondly, the box is tailor-made. This ensures a good customer experience in the unboxing process. We all know the examples sent around by angry consumers who receive a single felt-tip pen in a very large box with lots of padding. That is a thing of the past with packing machines.

Impact-resistant packaging

Automated packing also ensures that products arrive safely with the customer. Because packaging is perfectly cut to size, a product cannot slide or bump during transport. As a result, you get many satisfied customers and avoid unnecessary returns, as shipments are delivered undamaged.

Printing

With us, you don’t have to choose between speed or personalisation: you can do both. This is because the machine can print your parcels with a personalised print in colour. As a result, you don’t have to compromise on your branding if you outsource your logistics. Moreover, in all our fulfilment centres, humans and robots work together. So when there are special packaging requirements, there is also room for customisation.

Efficient packing

Finally, this efficient way of working is a major advantage for everyone in the chain. Consumers don’t actually want to pay for transport and packing. As a result, prices and costs are under pressure. The webshop will therefore look for the most efficient way of packing. An automatic packing machine is efficient and enables competitive pricing. We call that a win-win-win situation.

The ideal tailor-made box

Depending on the products, these machines deliver the ideal tailor-made box, so no padding material is used and as little air is transported as possible. We transport on average 40% less air as a result. This will also allow us to carry more parcels in the truck and further reduce our CO2 emissions. The CartonWrap sticks the shipping label on the lid of the box. The Jivaro prints the shipping label on the lid, eliminating the need for a separate labelling material.

Why do we pack automatically?

You might be wondering: what are the benefits of automatic packing for online shops? Or better yet, what are the benefits for consumers? First of all, automatic packing is cheaper and very sustainable. After all, we use less cardboard, we use less air in the box and we use less padding material. After all, sustainability is an issue that affects us all.

Moreover, carriers are increasingly looking at dimensions and volume weight when setting prices. In addition, you save costs because you don’t have to send a large stock of printed boxes to Active Ants.
