Flap’it!

Have a unique ask?
Let’s find a custom solution together.

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.

How does it work?
Drop test

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.

The packaging of choice for small flat products

Flap’it! is an outstanding option for packing single or multiple small products (max. 325 x 250 mm). It protects products with low-to-medium fragility, without the need for additional cushioning, wrapping or void filling. The machine is easy to integrate into any typical pick-then-pack process.
