Hand-packing

As part of our wide range of packing solutions, we also offer the option of hand- or manual-packing. This is a very flexible approach to product packing, and we pack a huge variety of seasonal and other merchandise this way – including Covid-19 face masks (lower image).

We recommend hand-packing when either the packaging or the product configuration dictates, or when the product itself is not suited to mechanised fulfilment. For example, for friable biscuits we would normally weigh and fill tubs by hand.

Hand-packing by line can also be a cost-effective solution for packing small batches, where the cost of setting up a machine line would be prohibitive. It can also be a viable option for packing batches of product samples and new product ranges.
