With one change, Novatrade improved their packaging quality and efficiency

Novatrade, a leading player in window coverings, has made an impressive leap forward in their packaging process. Previously, their products were packaged by hand, a method that was both time-consuming and labor-intensive. This approach often led to inconsistent outcomes and a less professional appearance. All of this changed dramatically with the investment in a Stand Alone banding machine. The result? The results were significant ...

Manual packaging: Novatrade’s challenge

Before Novatrade decided to invest in a banding machine, the company encountered several challenges in their packaging process. The traditional method involved manual handling, which was not only time-consuming but also prone to inconsistency and inefficiency. Each product required multiple steps, from securing the window coverings to sealing them in plastic and attaching them to a cardboard base.

This labor-intensive approach often led to uneven finishes and an overall lack of professionalism in the presentation, which did not align with Novatrade's commitment to quality. Managing Director Meindert Tuinstra emphasizes that a high-quality product deserves packaging that reflects the same standards. As a result, the inadequacies of their old process highlighted an urgent need for a more effective and aesthetically pleasing solution.

How banding transformed Novatrade’s packaging process

In search of a more efficient solution, Novatrade came into contact with Bandall, a meeting that would forever change their packaging process. After a convincing demonstration by Account Manager Jan Musch, it became clear that a banding machine was exactly what the company needed. The investment proved to be a perfect fit. Not only did the device save time and materials, but it also provided a much neater and more professional packaging for their pleated blinds.

With the introduction of the banding machine, Novatrade has successfully addressed their packaging challenges. The machine quickly and precisely bundles the pleated blinds with a perfectly adjusted band, neither too tight nor too loose. This ensures a consistent and high-quality finish.

Efficient packaging and a professional appearance

This strategic choice has significantly improved Novatrade's packaging process. The shift from manual taping to banding has not only reduced costs and accelerated workflow but also elevated the presentation of their products. The shift has transformed the packaging process, allowing Novatrade to benefit from both more efficient operations and a more professional appearance.
