Adam Hall, Head of Sustainability at IFG, found the CVP Impack Automated Packaging Solution, an inline auto-boxer that measures, constructs, tapes, weighs, and labels each order every seven seconds while creating a custom fit parcel using only one operator.
“We are very much front runners on sustainability and packaging,” says Adam Hall. “Across the group our packaging is now 91% plastic-free and next year that percentage figure will look even better. The first rule of sustainability is reduce… and when you reduce, you save money as well,” Hall says. “In terms of shipping volumes, our calculations indicate that the two machines will offer a reduction of 92 truck loads a year, due to the space savings of fit-to- size packaging.”
The CVP machines have given IFG the capacity to expand on the same footprint and cope with peak at optimal performance. “It’s not a complex machine to use so staff were quick to pick it up. But importantly, the backup and support from Sparck (formerly Quadient) is fast, we have no complaints whatsoever,” according to Hall.
