What is automatic boxing?

Automatic boxing is an industrial process in which boxes are assembled, filled with products and closed in an automated way. 

Using this method eliminates the need for direct human intervention and allows for faster, more accurate and efficient operation. 

Continue reading to discover the differences between automatic and manual boxing, as well as the benefits offered by adopting this technological solution.

Differences between automatic and manual boxing 

When comparing the automatic boxing processes with the manual method, the differences are evident. 

Manual boxing is a process in which operators carry out the entire packing process manually. The process generally involves preparing the boxes, grouping the products, inserting the products manually into the boxes, closing the boxes with tapes or staples and, finally, labeling and identifying them.

Manual boxing is generally suitable for smaller-scale productions. However, it can be labor intensive, and is subject to variations in accuracy and consistency depending on the skill of the operators. 

Automatic boxing is an automated process that involves the use of specific machines to insert products into boxes or packaging in an automated way. 

Boxes are prepared by placing them on the boxing machine’s feeding belt, just like products that feed the machine from a production line or conveyor belt.

The products are automatically positioned, inserted into the boxes that are closed. If necessary, boxes can be labeled or identified. 

Automatic boxing offers a number of benefits, including greater speed, efficiency, accuracy and consistency compared to manual boxing.

Key Benefits of Automatic Boxing 

As benefits, in addition to the differences mentioned above, automatic boxing also provides: 

• Operational Efficiency: Increases the speed and accuracy of the boxing process, resulting in more efficient operations. 
• Waste reduction: minimizes opportunities for errors and rework – which reduces the expense of materials and resources. 
• Increased flexibility: Automatic boxing solutions can handle a wide range of products and sizes. 
• Quality improvement: ensures packaging uniformity and accuracy, improving product image and customer experience.

Another extremely relevant benefit of automating the packing process is the promotion of employees’ quality of life, as the transfer of repetitive or heavy tasks to machines reduces ergonomic risks in the work environment.
