Packaging Automation

Flap’it!™

Integrated packing for small products

The ergonomic Flap’it!™ system is a highly effective solution that automates the packing of small products. E-commerce and logistics operations can benefit from outstanding product protection when shipping products such as books, video games, DVDs, spare-parts, and small electronics. Flap’it!-produced boxes significantly reduce damages during transport and ensure fewer product returns, thanks to integrated cushioning bumpers at box corners.

The Flap’it! packaging concept uses a magazine-fed cardboard blank, which is twisted into a cross. After products have been inserted, the final package height is adjusted for a good fit. The box flaps are folded and glued together with hot-melt adhesive, making the parcel ready to ship. Small parcels can then be delivered via a letter-box.

Increase your productivity

Integrated packaging enables a five-fold increase in operator throughput. Operators simply insert products – the machine automates all other steps in the packaging process to create a perfect cardboard mailer everytime.

Protect your products, and cut shipping costs

Shock-absorbing bumpers at the edges of the parcel provide superb corner protection. The height of the parcel is automatically adapted to the height of the products, and reduced average parcel size allows lower shipping rates.
