Kempner, a leader in shrink wrap packaging solutions, was approached by a prominent manufacturer of garden products. The client required high-output shrink packaging equipment to handle a variety of timber components, ensuring complete self-assembly kits were delivered to customers in pristine condition.
The timber manufacturer needed to address several key challenges with their packaging setup:
After a thorough evaluation of the client’s requirements, Kempner recommended a high-speed side sealer from our extensive range of packaging machinery, paired with durable polythene shrink wrap film.
The implementation of Kempner’s shrink wrap solution for the timber manufacturer involved several crucial steps:
Shrink wrapping timber products, such as garden furniture and wooden flooring, offers several benefits, enhancing protection, logistics, and marketability. Here are key advantages:
Shrink wrapping provides a tight seal around timber products, shielding them from moisture, dust, and UV radiation. This is crucial for preventing warping, discolouration, and damage from water or sun exposure, ensuring the products remain in pristine condition during storage and transit.
Shrink wrap is made from durable, puncture-resistant materials that can withstand rough handling and long shipping durations. This durability ensures the timber products are well-protected against potential damages from external forces.
Compared to other packaging materials, shrink wrap can be more cost-effective due to its lower material costs and the reduced need for additional protective packaging layers. It also tends to be lightweight, which can help in reducing shipping costs.
Shrink-wrapped products can be stacked and stored more efficiently, maximising warehouse space. The clear wrap allows for easy identification of products without the need to open the packaging, facilitating better inventory management.
With advancements in materials technology, biodegradable and recyclable shrink wrap options are increasingly available, offering a more sustainable choice for companies committed to environmental responsibility.
Shrink wrapping can enhance the market presentation of timber products. The clear film allows the beauty and quality of the wood to be visible, while also providing a surface for branding and informational labels, improving product appeal to potential buyers.
The deployment of Kempner’s shrink wrap solution brought significant improvements for the timber manufacturer.
The high-speed operation of our side sealer machinery enabled the client to package timber products swiftly, significantly reducing manual handling and labour requirements. This improved the overall efficiency of their packaging process.
By utilising Kempner’s durable polythene shrink wrap film, the client achieved notable cost savings. The robust and efficient nature of the film reduced material waste and lowered overall packaging costs.
The durable and puncture-resistant properties of the polythene shrink wrap ensured that timber products remained protected from environmental elements and physical damage during transport and storage. This maintained the quality and integrity of the products, enhancing customer satisfaction.
