How an automated packaging machine can give your business the boost it needs - By: EssMark

If you are having problems with food packaging, for example your productivity aims have not been met and your profits are lower than expected then you need to start looking for a food packaging solution that can help you achieve your packaging goals. A quick search online will uncover companies who will work directly with you in order to understand the key issues and requirements that you need to the solution for the whole operation including the bagging machines, bag materials and services.

If you are in a business that involves the packing of goods (food, medical products, mail order, military) then I am sure you are aware that one of the most time consuming and costly aspects is organising how the goods are going to be packed and employing people to carry out this monotonous job. The entire packing process takes up costly space and time and can, and often does, have a huge impact on your overall net profits. The main needless expense here is obviously money and time.

Packaging has many benefits, such as keeping food fresh which makes it last longer better for storage. Another benefit is keeping out bacteria. This keeps items sterile and safe whilst being transported from factory to its final destination. Another packaging advantage is the differentiation it can add to a product, making it appear more appealing in comparison to others products in the same category.

Now, there is no magic wand that will pack and transport all of your goods for you but there are machines that come close. A fully-automated packaging machine. A packaging machine is a much faster yet cheaper option in comparison to human labour. Investing in your own automated packaging machine will put you on the path to meeting high levels of demand while reducing your overheads, what could be better? Today, automated packaging systems utilise advanced technology and 21st century design provide the industry with high efficiency solutions for baggers, void-fill systems, imprinters, in-feed and custom engineered packaging solutions.

An automated machine will offer you a fast, resourceful bagging solution with phenomenal bag filling rates. Some machines can output 100 completed bags per minute but obviously you can set the speed at a rate that suits your output.

There are various machine forms and designs on the market and there is guaranteed to be a solution to accommodate every situation. There are hand-load and semi-automatic to fully-automatic packing operations. That's not all though, there are other quality features which will improve pack presentation and quality of the finished product as it will look much neater and more professional. Imprinting, for example, that eliminates the need for a separate label printing operation by printing directly on to the polythene bag during the bagging process. Just think what kind of impression that product would now give.

One of the many reasons that a business decides to purchase an automated packaging machine is to save money. The initial start-up costs may be a little off-putting but you can rest assured in the knowledge that in the long run you will be saving money. After the machine has been purchased the only costs that have to be covered are the packs and bags, the upkeep of the machine (which should be miniscule) and employing staff to operate it. Doing the same job, with the same production rates, by hand involves a much higher cost. Money will be saved on wages as well as any extra costs such as transportation/distribution.

Look in depth for an established packaging company, one who designs and manufactures high quality bag packaging systems to guarantee that your needs will all be met. There are plenty of existing packaging machines available, such as the AB 255 OneStep Packaging Machine which features a whole host of benefits, such as:

After your machine purchase you should expect after sales support in the form of training and assistance with any problems. Good support to customers is a key.
