How the PACjacket automated packaging system is helping
The dedicated Antalis Machinery team delivered a speedy installation of the PACjacket automated system to ensure that a leading high street retailer was able to cope with the growing demand for online ordering. This time and labour-saving automated packaging solution is designed to create on-demand bubble mailers for high volume e-commerce applications. The retailer had already invested heavily in carton automation but the packing of smaller
items, mainly into padded mailing bags, was still a manual operation. On average, a packer is able to pack 1.5 bags per minute, however, with demand during peak increasing to over 40,000 bags a day, the number of full-time employees would need to rise to 19 during this period. As well as bringing with it the challenges associated with engaging and training temporary workers, increased staffing levels would also pose a safety challenge during a time when social distancing measures are in place.
