Packaging Automation FAQs
Packaging automation can streamline operations and reduce costs — but where do you start? The answers to these frequently asked questions will help you make informed decisions and optimize your packaging process.
Should I consider automation for my business?
Automation gives you a competitive edge — cutting costs, eliminating errors, and ensuring consistent quality at any scale. It boosts efficiency, enhances safety, and keeps you ahead in a fast-paced market.
How much does automation actually cost?
The cost of automation depends on the manufacturer and the type of equipment you need. Common machines for packaging plastic containers, shown on this website, such as denesters, closers, labelers, and conveyors — vary in price based on their features. Basic models start around $20,000, while advanced systems can exceed $100,000.
If I want to automate part of my operation, where do I even begin?
You don’t have to automate everything at once. Start with key parts of your process to reduce upfront costs, then gradually add automation modules over time. This allows you to reallocate labor while steadily working toward full automation.
