Designing efficient Packing Benches
Well-presented packages and parcels give an important first impression for any company
For many people, the packaging is an important part of the shopping experience. You never want to leave a bad impression on your customers with poorly wrapped or insufficiently protected packages.
It's also important that packages are wrapped quickly and efficiently, as time wasted during the packing process may mean delays in getting products to customers.
Well designed packing benches take into account the specific products, the workflow, the packaging used, and even the packer themselves.
The addition of data & power sockets can turn a simple bench into a modern workstation, with bespoke shelving or mounts to hold computers, keyboards, scanners and printers.
For maximum efficiency, the working area should be designed whilst taking into consideration ergonomic principles, as this improves productivity and lessens the risk of injury.
Materials handling equipment including conveyors may be a sensible addition to reduce time and effort spent moving packages.
Whether the bench is simply used for packing, part collation, carton addressing, quality control, or even team leader functions, each bench requires different layouts and has differing requirements.
We manufacture packing benches that are designed to suit the task at hand. Our range covers simple one-off benches for home or small business use, right up to complete distribution centre fit-out benches complete with IT integration and weighing scales.
