That's why speed, saving and care are three distinguishing words for this company. These three expressions are not only ideas, but also keywords that became reality thanks to the new Box on Demand system.
Speed in terms of time management: with a BOD machine working with fanfold, Amazon fulfillment centers are able to keep working and producing boxes all day long, without having any downtime because the boxes are produced while the products are coming out from their warehouse. The operator no longer has to go looking around the warehouse to find the right box for the product.
This solution allows them to save not only in terms of time but also in packaging costs. In fact, with the high technology of Panotec Box On Demand system, there is no need to use void fillers, such as packing peanuts, and other cushioning materials. In addition the amount of cardboard used by the machine is only the quantity needed to create the right sized box, the square meters are already optimized to produce only the boxes they need. And last but not least, a right sized box that perfectly fits the product inside also better takes care and protects it from damages during transport, ensuring intact products delivered to their customers.
Amazon has now more than 20 Box on Demand machine all over the United States, and more than 4 machines between the UK and German sites. With Panotec BOD system they are able now to pack those products that didn't have a specific box before, due to their big or awkward sizes, and also the returned goods.
Amazon estimated that their cost reduction is about 40% and the return of investment has been already achieved.
