Frequently asked questions

What types of products can I use a strapping machine for?

Strapping machines securely bundle goods, making them ideal for boxes, pallets, and bulk items. They significantly speed up packaging operations and improve load stability. Whether you’re shipping boxes, timber, construction materials, or large cartons, a strapping machine provides consistent tension, reducing manual effort, preventing damage, and enhancing operational efficiency.

How can a packing station improve my warehouse efficiency?

Packing stations streamline your packing processes by creating organised, ergonomic spaces where packaging supplies and tools are easily accessible. Designed to reduce movement and eliminate clutter, these stations improve productivity, reduce packing errors, and speed up order fulfilment, making them ideal for busy warehouses, e-commerce operations, or distribution centres.

What’s the advantage of using a heat sealer for packaging?

Heat sealers quickly and securely seal polythene bags and film, providing airtight and tamper-evident packaging. They’re particularly useful for food, electronics, pharmaceuticals, and other sensitive products that require protection from contamination or moisture. Heat sealing improves product presentation, extends shelf life, and ensures consistent quality, making it essential for professional packaging setups.

Why should I invest in a tape machine dispenser rather than applying tape manually?

Tape machine dispensers apply tape rapidly and evenly, greatly increasing packing speed and reducing waste. Unlike manual tape application, dispensers provide consistent tension and reliable sealing, saving time, reducing labour costs, and minimising tape usage. They’re ideal for high-volume packing environments or where neatness, consistency, and speed are critical.

How do void fill dispensers help protect goods during shipping?

Void fill dispensers allow efficient dispensing of protective packaging materials such as paper, air pillows, or loose-fill chips. They ensure quick, consistent, and accurate filling of empty spaces in packaging, effectively preventing products from shifting or damage during transit. Void fill dispensers improve packaging productivity, reduce material waste, and enhance overall shipping protection.
