The Multi Format Packaging System for tailor-made packages – quick and easy

Kern AG has ticked all the right boxes with the PackOnTime^® project. The PackOnTime 2box Multi Format Packaging System enables production of a tailor-made shipping package for goods to be packed. The goods are well protected against damage during shipping without additional filling material. The system measures the placed items to determine the required dimensions of the box. The box is then produced from a flat sheet of corrugated cardboard before the items are automatically inserted into the partially erected package. The box is then closed and provided with an address label and delivered as a ready-to-ship package. Thanks to a tear strip, the box can be opened easily and without tools. Due to its inherently stable shape, the packaging can be used for returns and, if required, for storage. When opened, the box exudes high value and the contents are attractively presented.
