An accountant once told me business is easy “You sell a product, you supply a product and you get paid”. Simple!

Well, that doesn’t account to marketing the product, producing the produce, maintaining the product, being there to back the customer up with spare parts and knowledge.

Marketing the product should include supplying a product that will save the customer their budget, that sounds contradictory doesn’t it and yes it does, as they have to spend money to purchase equipment to save costs. This is called payback and it’s the way equipment can improve productivity in the way it processes the product to be marketable.

Many companies start with a passion to create a product that customers want and need, this then means the original producer has to learn how to not only create the product concept, also has to navigate the needs of the market to be able to make it marketable. This can mean supplying the product in single or multiples in packaging, labelled, with a best before date, packed into an outer case, then palletised wrapped and transported to storage for the end user.

SIMPLE!

Choosing packaging equipment can be a mine field, as there are many versions of machines to create the same process.

Case Sealers for example, apply sticky tape onto cartons, they all have different ways to do this, as they need to be adjusted for height and width, some use linier screws to do this (which is slow), some rack and pinion with wheels to turn to move up, down and in and out whilst others use struts to do the same movement.

Also the way you remove the tape dispensers to allow the operator to replace the used tape reel for a new one, and how difficult are they to run the tape through the dispenser to prepare it to apply the tape onto the carton.

All the above needs to be invesigated before committing to purchasing a Case Sealer, knowing a model range doesn’t mean that they are suited to your environment, it only means familiarity with that mark.

Machines need to be efficient to your environment, they need to be easy and safe to use, quick to adjust and same to feed the sticky tape ready for use and this is where knowledge and experience becomes invaluable.
