In our latest blog, Dave Woods, Managing Director of PALpack, shares his expert insight on the crucial topic of product stability during transit. Here’s what Dave had to say: "The challenges: Products need to be securely stacked and stabilised during palletising and transit to reduce the risk of items falling and causing damage to goods or people. Whilst previously this was achieved with the use of plastic shrink wrap, the renewed focus on sustainability and reducing single-use plastics means this is now unacceptable to many retailers, especially large supermarkets, and alternative methods have to be sought." "The solution: We have developed our systems to use alternative stabilising techniques such as slip sheets, layer boards, and corner protectors to protect and stabilise trays. Interlocking stacking patterns, where products are arranged to support one another, also provide greater stability on pallets. Additionally, banding and strapping systems hold products tightly together, reducing the risk of movement during transport." "The main challenge for trays without shrink wrap is the stability of the tray and loose product, which is difficult to handle. So we use special gripper plates, with a stabilising top plate. We also ensure that variable speeds are used when moving the packs from the infeed conveyors to their final position. Many other palletiser suppliers have fallen foul of these unstable packs, where machines have had to be removed from factories for not performing well enough. Lita and Europack have had a lot of experience with this type of product, and many years of development means we can handle these packs safely and efficiently."

PALpack’s automated systems offer a detailed and comprehensive solution for boosting both productivity and workplace safety. Designed to reduce the need for manual labour in repetitive and high-risk tasks, these systems allow businesses to handle higher volumes with precise, consistent output. For example, automated sack-filling machines ensure accuracy and efficiency, reducing the risk of human errors. Also, automation significantly improves safety, particularly in industries where manual handling injuries are common, as it minimises the need for heavy lifting and repetitive motion. One of the greatest benefits of automotion is the ability to run continuously, 24/7. Unlike manual labour, which is limited by working hours, holidays, or potential sick leave, automated machinery can operate around the clock. This not only ensures uninterrupted production but also means faster fulfilment and more efficient operations, even while your team is off-duty or asleep. In turn, this reduces labour costs, eliminates downtime, and streamlines operations, leading to greater profitability! PALpack offer solutions with the flexibility to adapt to a variety of industries. From food and beverage palletising to sack filling in agriculture or manufacturing, systems are tailored to meet specific business needs.

📦 We've all seen packages like this one—where the box is clearly too large for the item inside. This type of overpackaging is more than just a minor inconvenience; it carries real costs and challenges: 𝗛𝗶𝗴𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽𝗽𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗲𝘅𝗽𝗲𝗻𝘀𝗲𝘀: Oversized boxes lead to inefficient use of space, driving up shipping costs unnecessarily. 𝗜𝗻𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗲𝗱 𝗿𝗶𝘀𝗸 𝗼𝗳 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗱𝘂𝗰𝘁 𝗱𝗮𝗺𝗮𝗴𝗲: Extra room inside a box often means items shift during transit, making them more vulnerable to damage. 𝗘𝗻𝘃𝗶𝗿𝗼𝗻𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗹 𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗮𝗰𝘁: Using more material than necessary increases waste and the overall carbon footprint of each package. At Packsize, we specialize in right-sized packaging solutions designed to eliminate these issues. By tailoring box sizes to fit products precisely, we help businesses reduce costs, improve sustainability, and create a much better experience for customers upon unboxing. Want to learn more about how we can optimize your packaging process? Let’s talk about the benefits of Packsize’s custom solutions! And on a personal note - my family just got a new puppy, so let's just say we're going through a lot of dog food. Right-sized packaging couldn't be more welcome in our house! 🐾 #SustainablePackaging #RightSizedPackaging #ReduceWaste #CustomerExperience #PackagingInnovation #SupplyChainSolutions #Packsize

So much value in such a small space. This device has the purpose to "squash" flowpacks in order to guarantee the package height within a tight tolerance, which will allow the downstream case packer machine to have produce a smaller box. How much is this an advantage? Well a few millimeters in all directions that will translate in less packaging material, more cases per pallet and thus, in time, also more product per truck. An overall saving that in time will translate in sustainability all round. #conveyor #conveyors #packaging #food #sustainability #efficiency
