VOLUME REDUCING
Optimization of shipping volume - for future-oriented and sustainable parcel shipping
The shipping industry is booming, with more and more B2B and B2C parcels having to be shipped in ever shorter time every day. The problem: the high demands on fast delivery times and product variety lead to poorly packed boxes, some of which contain only 15% product and 85% air or cushioning material - a disaster for the environment and for profitability.
The patented OPITZ carton volume reducer Vario 558 equips your packaging process for the future. The system fully automatically reduces boxes filled with products to their minimum necessary size and seals them for transport.Â
Depending on the contents of the boxes, the fully automatic machine
- detects the minimum necessary packaging height using the latest measuring technologies,
- cuts the boxes to height in the corners in a dust free and safe manner
- folds the lids without material waste,
- seals them with adhesive tape or glue.
The packages contain up to 85% less air. This saves filling material and significantly reduces costs.
