Q-Pack at APPEX 2024
Check out some footage from our time at APPEX 2024! It was great to introduce a number of new people to the Q-Pack brand and equipment range.
Speed & Labour Costs
This is the most obvious problem that arises when startups outgrow manual processes. Your team is working hard, but you're still not meeting your requirements.
The problem: Manual, one-by-one processes are the ceiling. You can't label, fill or cap any faster than a hand can move and hiring more staff isn't always the best solution. You're spending more on labour costs just for staff to stand and wait for the product to arrive.
The solution: Entry level automation equipment that can take your output from less than 100 bottles an hour to over 1000, without adding to your headcount. Here at Q-Pack we have entry level options for bottling, labelling and packaging.
Quality & Consistency
Your product is premium, but does your packaging reflect that? As volume increases, human error becomes a bigger concern.
The problem: Your team is rushing and the results show it. You're seeing crooked or bubbling labels, inconsistent fill levels in your bottles or caps that aren't applied correctly. This inconsistency doesn't just look unprofessional, it can take away from brand trust and lead to product waste or returns.
The solution: We have equipment that ensures precise fill levels and label placement, every time. From precise volumetric fillers to our labeller range, our range provides consistency that will keep your customers coming back.
OH&S & Staffing
This can be a hidden problem that can cost you the most, with repetitive manual tasks being a major source of workplace injuries.
The problem: Hand capping, manually erecting cartons and hand stacking heavy boxes on pallets are high-risk, repetitive strain tasks. This work can be physically demanding and lead to high staff turnover, forcing you to constantly retrain.
The solution: Automating these specific tasks is a direct investment into safety and improved morale. A case packer can automatically form, fill and seal cartons while a palletiser handles all the heavy lifting without the risk.
How to start
Automating your line doesn't have to be a wall to wall overhaul, as growth is a step by step process. The key is to find your biggest setback and solve it with a high impact machine.
If you're feeling these growing pains, talk to our team. We can assess your current setup and help you identify the key areas of improvement and make recommendations from our range that will deliver the biggest return and set you up for sustainable growth.
