Problem: Hard to Pack Products, High Costs, and Errors
Every business wants their goods neatly and safely packed. Yet, so many factories still use slow, manual methods or outdated machines. Here’s the real problem:
Manual packaging is:
- Hard work for your team
- Slow (just 30–50 units/min with many errors)
- Costly in labor (you pay staff every shift, day after day)
- Prone to mistakes (2–5% error rate is common)
Even modern semi-automatic machines can’t keep pace. When the products vary in size, shape, or requirement, most off-the-shelf solutions do not fit. You might:
- Waste money buying several machines and still not meet your daily target
- Lose customers if your packaged goods are not perfect
- Struggle to meet safety and food-grade rules
Imagine this: A large food company packs 10,000 products a day. With manual work, it would take hours longer, and they would still see more breakage and returns. Is this your factory’s experience? If yes, you’re not alone.
Agitate: What Happens If You Don’t Upgrade?
Let’s dig deeper into what you lose by sticking with manual or semi-auto packing:
| Manual | Automatic (Old/Generic) | Automatic (Customized by Us) |
|---|---|---|
| Slow (30–50 bpm) | Faster (60–80 bpm but not a perfect fit) | Fastest (120–200 bpm, exactly for your goods) |
| Error rate 2–5% | Error rate 1.5–2% | Lowest error rate — even under 1% |
| Labor cost highest | Labor cost still high | Labor cost reduction up to 70% |
Labor cost savings: For some snack companies, automation cut staff needs by 70%, and they saw mistakes fall from 12 per 100 packs to less than 1 per 100 packs. That’s a win you want for your business.
But there’s more. Not all “automated” machines are built the same. Big brands often push the same solutions to everyone, without seeing what makes your work special. This means:
- You still do manual work to fix errors
- You lose money on each pack that does not pass quality
- You get extra costs when changing batch or packaging style
The biggest pain is when you try a standard automatic machine but still don’t hit your ROI goal. Example: A $40,000 machine that “should” save $25,000 per year, but doesn’t, because you spend hours re-adjusting for every new product.

Common Questions — Answered
- How do your machines fit different package sizes and materials? Each build comes with modular assemblies. You switch out the forming collar, update the recipe in the HMI, and the PLC handles the rest. No headaches, no downtime.
- How can I calculate ROI before buying? We break it down clearly. If your new machine costs $15,000 and saves $10,500/year in labor, your payback is about 1.4 years. Formula:
(Annual Savings – Machine Cost) / Machine Cost x 100 = ROI%
Table: Sample ROI for Your Business
| Machine Cost | Annual Labor Savings | Yearly Productivity Gain | Payback Period | ROI |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| $15,000 | $10,500 | +25% | 1.4 years | 70% |
| $40,000 | $25,000 | +40% | 1.6 years | 62.5% |
| $2,000 (small units) | $3,000 | +10% | 8 months | 50% |
