By installing an automated corrugated void reduction system that creates right-sized packaging on demand, one Antalis customer was able to achieve an increase in packing capability from 120 to 700 boxes per hour. They also gained a 50% reduction in packaging materials and a 67% reduction in labour costs, with 100 fewer pallet locations. The flexibility the system provided meant they were more readily able to adapt to the peaks and troughs in demand while also being insulated, to an extent, from the challenges in the supply chain.
