It doesn’t have to be this way... How can Ribble Right Size technology help? Ribble Right Size solutions allow companies to create the perfect size box, for any product, within seconds, on-site and on demand. Pairing Panotec machinery with Ribble’s Fanfold board, a continual sheet of corrugated board that has been scored and neatly folded like a fan, means that customers can have a cost-effective, flexible, on-demand packaging solution that uses less overall material, lowers inventory, and eliminates the need to use plastic void fillers.
Whether you are packaging a kitchen cupboard or a shower tray, Right Size solutions can provide effective packaging protection without the need for plastic void fillers, therefore creating a fully sustainable packaging process, and at the same time reducing your packaging costs by up to 30%.
When utilising Right Size technology and using the correct size packaging, your company’s carbon emissions are drastically reduced with more products being loaded onto vehicles ready for dispatch, thus increasing vehicle utilisation by around 25% and saving you money on fuel and transport costs.
How right size technology can save your business 30% on packaging spend
P
ackaging kitchen, bedroom and bathroom goods can be a particularly tricky business, due to the products
being large, awkward, fragile and high value, but what can we do to change this? The ability to transport goods safely and effectively can often be a huge challenge for KBB companies. Ensuring prompt delivery of your product is essential in maintaining a good relationship between brand and consumer.
Does this sound familiar? Most KBB companies purchase an inventory of stock boxes in various sizes from a packaging provider. They then choose a box with roughly the same dimensions
as the product and fill the rest of the space with plastic void fillers such as Styrofoam or airbags. There are a few issues with this outdated method. One is that you are essentially paying to ship air, every sq inch of space in your packaging not being taken up by your product, is costing you money. Secondly, storing thousands of pre-made stock boxes takes up valuable warehouse space, which could be used more effectively. Thirdly, stock boxes do not offer adequate protection for fragile KBB products, and items can often be damaged during transit rendering them unusable. Finally, and most importantly, purchasing an inventory of stock boxes and having to work around supplier Minimum Order Quantities (MOQ’s) is unnecessarily expensive and restrictive.
How does it work? It’s as simple as Ribble’s 4 step Right Size process: 1 Enter the item dimensions into the Right Size machine.
2 Select the style and quantity of boxes you require, then press Go.
3 The perfect size box is produced within seconds. 4 Package each one of your products securely in the perfect size box.

John Wright, operations director, Roman Showers Ltd “We purchased our first Panotec machine nearly ten years ago and I have no hesitation saying it is one of the best decisions we have ever made. It has not only made a large contribution to reducing the cost of manufacturing our products, but the just-in- time nature of producing the packaging perfectly fits our manufacturing system.”
