Packaging for e-commerce: an offer with added value

The Coronavirus epidemic has significantly accelerated the expansion of the e-commerce sector*. In this application area Sitma (based in Spilamberto, MO - Italy) boasts a long-term experience. 

The combination of this know-how has led Sitma to develop a portfolio of solutions that are highlighted for an incredible reliability and their extreme flexibility, being able to work at different speeds and accommodate packages of different sizes and thicknesses. The company’s offering is vast and includes both stand-alone and complete automatic feeding solutions for perfect in-line integration. Machines such as the Quick Pack, Fast Pack, Thick Pack and e-Wrap have received unanimous praise in e-commerce supply chains, satisfying the needs of logistics operators, e-fulfillment centers and e-tailer.

Sustainable and track & trace solutions.The machines are built in the name of sustainability, allowing use of low-impact materials, such as paper or biofilm, instead of traditional packaging films. Furthermore they create tailor-made and compact packages in order to limit not only material waste for packaging but also reduce package “emptiness,” facilitating transport during the downstream supply chain phases with a significant reduction of the carbon footprint. Thanks to the process, it is in fact possible to manage the variable geometry of the packages and measure the dimensions of the product/s that make up an order, to create an ad hoc package. A further added value is the possibility to implement complex data management systems on the line, thanks to the adoption of advanced track-and-trace technologies, which are engineered to integrate perfectly with the WCS and customer database. All of this allows high levels of efficiency and minimizes the possibility of errors, rejections and rework.
