bagging, strapping boxes or wrapping pallets are all processes that can be made faster, cheaper and more efficient by packaging machines.<\/p>\n<p>Just some of the benefits that machines can bring include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Speeding up your packaging and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rajapack.co.uk\/warehouse-equipment_C26.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">warehouse<\/a> processes, increasing efficiency.<\/li>\n<li>Reducing the amount of materials used and waste produced, cutting costs.<\/li>\n<li>Freeing up space in your warehouse, for more stock or to increase productivity.<\/li>\n<li>Helping to reduce the impact of your business on the environment.<\/li>\n<li>Giving your business more control over your packaging, improving flexibility.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If you are packaging more than 10 packages per day, then it\u2019s likely that a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rajapack.co.uk\/packaging-machines_C24.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">packaging machine<\/a> could save your business time and money.\u00a0 Many machines are available to rent too, so there are no large, upfront costs to worry about.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re packaging a very low number of items though, or wrapping specialist products, then an automated packaging machines might not be right for you, or something manual like a <a

option.\u00a0 Our experts are always happy to help, and if you\u2019re unsure whether machines could make a difference to your business, contact us today.<\/p>\n<p id=\"how-can-machines-help\">How can <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rajapack.co.uk\/packaging-machines_C24.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">packaging machines<\/a> help?<\/p>\n<p>A large number of packaging processes can be automated, including wrapping, strapping, sealing and cushioning.\u00a0 At Rajapack we categorise packaging machines into three different types, by the function that they perform:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a

href=\"https:\/\/www.rajapack.co.uk\/packaging-machines\/paper-void-fill-systems_C2418.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Paper void fill machines<\/a> offer another cost effective, eco-friendly way to create void fill.\u00a0 Studies have shown that consumers prefer to receive paper packaging materials in their parcels for environmental reasons.\u00a0 The machines take reams of paper in, and deliver strong, crimpled paper which can be used to wrap, cushion, block, or brace packages securely.<\/p>\n<p>These machines are ideal for high volume operations (up to 1.4 metres of paper void per second) and though larger than the air cushion systems, they offer greater flexibility.\u00a0 \u00a0If you package over 50 products a day, they are almost guaranteed to save you time and money, and typically cut down materials use by 30% within the first 3 months.<\/p>\n<p>More advanced models include features such as remote controls, foot pedals, and paper length programming.\u00a0 The PadPak range is suitable for the blocking and bursting your products.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1099\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1099\" style=\"width: 952px\"

to package and protect items by sealing them in bags.\u00a0 They do this by wrapping them in PVC or shrink film, keeping them free from dust and dirt in storage or protecting them from damage during delivery or while on display.<\/p>\n<p>Both systems can produce bags of almost any size; for smaller items such as jewellery or electronics, CDs or books, to larger more awkward items (typically up to

stands, that mean you can customise the machine to your operation.\u00a0 Spares kits can also be bought which make it easy to maintain and service your machine.<\/p>\n<p id=\"buying-renting\">Buying, Renting, &amp; Maintaining<\/p>\n<p>Buying a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rajapack.co.uk\/packaging-machines_C24.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">packaging machine<\/a> can usually mean a big initial investment, which can be difficult for small or medium sizes businesses to justify. \u00a0It&#8217;s why many of our packaging machines are available to rent, with no high up-front costs, though your first step would be to demo a machine before committing further.<\/p>\n<p>Our machines can be rented from as little as \u00a315 per month and include free delivery, installation, and after care support.\u00a0 This means that you can focus on integrating the machine into your operation, without having to worry about the long term financial commitment.<\/p>\n<p>One final factor to consider when adopting an automatic packaging machine is what happens if they go wrong or need repair?\u00a0 \u00a0For your total piece of mind, we can arrange on-site call outs in case of any problems, so you can ensure minimal downtime in your operation if any problems do occur.<\/p>\n<p id=\"our-expert-opinion\">Our Expert Opinion<\/p>\n<p>Finally, we caught up our resident machines expert, Chris Sheehan to get his thoughts on the impact packaging machines can make.\u00a0 Chris has helped his fair share of customers make the transition to a packaging machine and believes:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cThe first step for most customers is realising that they actually have a need for a machine. Once this happens, selling the benefits and finding the right machine for a customer\u2019s needs is actually quite straight forward.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cInvesting in a packaging machine isn\u2019t just about saving on the price of using machine consumables and rental of the machine compared to their current protective packaging. Using traditional packaging products can take up more than three times as much space in your warehouse as a roll of film or a block of paper. And we all know that warehousing space is at a premium, so every bit of it counts.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe same can be said for packing speed and productivity. Having a machine available to produce void fill, air cushions or bubble on demand at a work station means a reduction in time to pack \u2013 meaning orders go out the door quicker. It can also result in a reduction of temporary staff in peak periods of the year.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>To find out more about Packaging Machines and if they might be right for your business, or for a no obligation demonstration, please get in touch with our experts.
