Lakeland UK updates packaging solutions for online shoppers

Lakeland, kitchenware and homeware specialist, recently installed a CMC CartonWrap1000 box-on-demand system to automate its packaging of home shopping products. Lakeland  despatches over 6,000 parcels every day to fulfill orders placed via the web, call centre and post.

The company has already automated the packing of 70% of its outbound home shopping parcels. The remaining 30% includes smaller orders for which Lakeland had been looking for an automated packing solution for a number of years to improve packing efficiency and the quality of the outbound parcel.  They found the solution with Cartonwrap which is able to produce variable sized cartons dynamically from a flat corrugated supply at the rate of 1000 cartons per hour; the system is aimed at the e-commerce fulfillment market
