There are numerous easy fixes that will introduce expediency into your order fulfilment operation without sacrificing on the quality of your packaging. So here are four innovative pack station additions that will keep costs low and ensure efficient packing, no matter the product:
Going plastic-free might be the exact solution to your business's order fulfilment needs, to both cut costs and simplify the recycling process.
A strong, reliable gummed tape option that's resistant to changes in both temperature and humidity, this versatile packaging solution is water-activated and environmentally friendly, securely adhering to corrugated surfaces and producing a firm seal for your cartons with less waste.
Applying moisture to the tape produces a strong bond, reducing waste, saving money and eliminating the need for wax-coated and glossy papers, which are often non-biodegradable.
