The Role of Automatic Case Erectors in Streamlining Your Packaging Process

Automatic case erectors play a major role in streamlining the packaging process by automating the process of forming boxes or cases that are used to package products. These machines are designed to quickly and efficiently erect and bottom seal corrugated boxes of various sizes and styles. Your business will quickly experience a positive ROI in saving time and money. 

Here are three main ways an automatic case erector helps streamline your end-of-line packaging process, no matter the industry you’re in.  

1. Increase Productivity  

By using an automatic case erector, businesses can reduce the time and labor required to manually form boxes, allowing employees to focus on other important tasks. This can help companies better utilize team members or when they’re struggling to hire people during rising labor costs.   

To build on increasing productivity, case erectors reduce changeover time when swapping out different sized cases or products. Their streamlined automation capabilities make your process easier and quicker. 

2. Consistency & Reliability  

Case erectors ensure that each case is assembled to the same specifications. This reduces the risk of errors or variability in case sizes and improves the overall appearance of your packaged products. 

Having consistently sized cases helps you better estimate storage needs and calculate shipping costs (such as DIM weight). More uniform cases also prevent damage during shipping. With less mistakes happening from manual case erecting, you’ll save time and money.  

3. Small Footprint & Easy Integration  

With the use of case erectors, you can save space in your warehouse or packaging facility by storing flat cases instead of pre-assembled cases. This can free up valuable floor space and allow for more efficient use of your facility. When you’re ready to refill the case erector, an operator simply adds more cardboard blanks to the system. 

Case erectors are engineered to easily integrate into your end-of-line packaging process – especially when they’re Combi’s packaging case erectors. This creates a more seamless packaging line that can increase throughput and improve overall efficiency.
