Packsize Unveils X7 in Orlando at #LINK2019, RILA's Retail Supply Chain Conference

Packsize Presents 7 Ways to Increase Fulfillment Speed & Improve Order Optimization with the X7 Automated Right-sized Packaging System

ORLANDO—February 25, 2019—Resolving the e-commerce industry's need for high-volume, custom-sized box output, Packsize today announced the commercial availability of the X7™ Automated Right-sized Packaging System. The X7™ meets the high-capacity packaging demands for single or consolidated stackable product orders by achieving order process optimization through advanced packaging automation.


By adding Packsize's advanced box production technology and On Demand Packaging® expertise to their fulfillment processes, the X7™ can improve retail packaging operations in the following seven ways:

1. Enhanced speed and reliability. The X7™ meets efficiency requirements for high-production runs. In development and testing for two years, this second-generation, fully automated system can fulfill up to 1,200 ready-to-ship orders per hour.
2. Reduced reliance on labor. As a fully automated solution, the X7™ reduces labor-intensive manual packaging processes and provides a reliable answer to labor shortages.
3. Increased sustainability. The biggest driver in packaging continues to be sustainability, which is also seeing continued attention due to the rise of e-commerce. The X7™ facilitates positive, sustainable change through smart use of resources, an observed reduction in wasteful packaging, and helps retailers achieve a reduced carbon footprint.
4. Increased customer satisfaction. According to an industry study commissioned by Packsize, organizations following sustainability practices realize favorable customer satisfaction, higher customer retention levels, and increased cost savings.
5. Lower freight costs. Larger-than-needed packages shipped via truck, rail, ship, or plane waste valuable fuel resources. Right-sized orders produced by the X7™ require fewer line-hauls and achieve dimensional weight parcel savings.
6. Fewer damages. Right-sizing orders reduces damage during shipping and delivers superior product protection, resulting in fewer returns.
7. More warehouse space. A custom box-making solution reduces box obsolescence and management since there is no longer a need to stock and manage a large number or variety of box sizes. The X7™ also gives retailers the ability to optimize warehouse space for other value-driving activities.

"The power of the X7 is in taking our proven lower-volume processes and accomplishing for
e-commerce the most needed functions to make, pack, and ship a right-sized box in three seconds," said Packsize Sr. Product Manager Connor Pehrson. "The X7™ is unrivaled when it comes to packaging speeds and reliability."

Backed by a worldwide support organization of Packsize Care™ engineers and technicians, Packsize can assist every X7™ at the local level. Packsize can also complement the X7™ with a full spectrum of advanced packaging, automated systems, accessories, and consumables, as well as through expert know-how and capabilities customers need to improve their retail operations and supply chains.

Creform stationary lineside flow rack provides for an organized flow of materials

Greer, SC—Creform Corporation, a manufacturer of unique products for material handling structures has designed and built a stationary flow rack to be used lineside for an assembly line. The flow rack can be virtually used in any industry and for most application and is particular useful holding an optimal amount of inventory at the point of assembly which maximizes floor space. It also can prevent excessive inventory which is one of the seven waste considerations in lean manufacturing. This flow rack contains an “L shaped” slide pipe and skate wheel conveyor.

Creform sales engineers worked closely with the customer to design this customized solution to meet their specific needs.

Hamilton Caster & Mfg. Co., a 117-year-old industry leader in heavy-duty industrial casters, proudly announces the enhancement of its legacy Super Endurance Caster (SEC) series, now rebranded as the Spinfinity® Super Endurance Caster (ZFSEC) series. In addition, Hamilton is introducing the all-new Spinfinity® Super Endurance Dual Caster (ZFSEC2) series, both of which feature a new heavy-duty 'V-Style' seal designed to elevate performance in the most demanding environments.
The Spinfinity® Super Endurance Caster (ZFSEC) series replaces Hamilton’s legacy SEC series, setting a new benchmark for kingpinless caster design in extra heavy-duty applications. Central to this upgrade is the heavy-duty 'V-Style' seal, which offers protection against dirt, debris, and moisture. This advanced sealing technology ensures consistent performance and extends the life of the caster, making it the ideal choice for environments where reliability is critical.
"With the introduction of the V-Style seal, the ZFSEC series is engineered to withstand the harshest conditions while providing zero-fix, 100% maintenance-free operation," said Mark Lippert, president of Hamilton Caster. "This enhancement allows our customers to minimize maintenance costs and downtime, further solidifying Hamilton’s reputation for durability and dependability."
The ZFSEC series retains the robust construction that Hamilton is known for, including a swivel top plate and inner raceway made from forged steel, providing superior strength for shock conditions. Sealed precision ball bearings are also now standard in all wheels, contributing to the maintenance-free performance of the series. Notably, the zerk fittings have been eliminated, as the new design makes them unnecessary.
Complementing the ZFSEC series, Hamilton introduces the all-new Spinfinity® Super Endurance Dual Wheel Caster (ZFSEC2) series. This dual wheel series is engineered for extra heavy-duty applications where stability, durability, and maintenance-free operation are paramount. Like its counterpart, the ZFSEC2 series leverages the new 'V-Style' seal, ensuring that each caster is fully protected against contaminants that could compromise performance.
Combined with sealed precision ball wheel bearings, this caster series ensures zero-fix, 100% maintenance-free performance. The dual-wheel configuration enhances stability and allows for a lower overall height, offering a perfect blend of strength and maneuverability.
Casters in both series are finished in a durable HAA polyester platinum powder coat and are available in a wide variety of wheel types, allowing for customization based on application needs.
