Solutions: Packaging Automation

Improve efficiency and reduce e-Commerce costs with packaging automation

Meeting the ever-evolving demands of e-Commerce has never been more challenging. As consumer expectations soar, businesses must continue to shorten delivery windows, enhance product protection, prepare smaller order sises for diverse product assortments, and react to the growing need for customised packaging. FORTNA strategically partners with Packsize and/or Sitma to design and deliver innovative packaging solutions to address these complexities, delivering unmatched reliability in package handling and order fulfillment.

Optimise Labour. Reduce Costs. Drive Sustainability.

End-of-line packaging has emerged as a key strategic component for efficiently shipping small- to mid-sised items. FORTNA packaging solutions deliver automation that wraps items in paper and/or corrugated boxes, labels the package and enhances the comprehensive customer experience. Our solutions optimise package handling, reduce labour dependency, reduce operational costs, and support sustainability efforts.

Benefits of packaging automation

Increased efficiency: automated systems can run faster and longer than a manual process
Lower error rates: automated wrapping and labeling ensure accuracy
Eco-friendly packaging: right-sised paper packaging and corrugated boxes use eco-friendly materials
Rapid ROI: labour and material cost savings paired with increased performance provide for a quicker return on investment
Personalised messaging: on-demand printing options allow an operation to print marketing messages directly on the packaging to engage with their customers
Lower shipping costs: packaging is fitted for the items being shipped, reducing the item’s dimensions and the space they take up in the delivery truck

Types of packaging automation

There are two types of end-of-line packaging automation: mailers and corrugated boxes. Mailers use paper products to wrap items, seal them, and then print and apply a label. Corrugated boxes follow the same concept, but instead build a right-sised box around the items being shipped.

FORTNA is a preferred partner with Sitma, a global leader in mailer packaging automation, and Packsize, a global leader in corrugated box packaging automation. By leveraging these automated end-of-line solutions, FORTNA helps operators integrate packaging automation into their current footprint to improve efficiencies, reduce costs and promote sustainability.
