This bag
packaging system is designed for speed and flexibility in high-volume mail
order fulfillment applications. The new Autofulfillment™ SPrint™ System is
fully customizable for a wide range of products, including apparel and
footwear, bed and bath, home decor, healthcare products, automotive parts,
hardware, plumbing, printed materials and anything that will ship in a poly
bag. The system integrates with warehouse management or order entry systems to
print, verify and package up to 15 completed bags per minute with a single
operator. Up to five optional feeders/collators can be used to selectively
deliver customer-specific catalogs, literature or other promotional items to
the operator for hand insertion into the bag. An inline printer automatically
produces the packing slip or invoice and inserts it into the bag. A 3-point
scanning verification system ensures the accuracy of every order. A
field-proven, modular component design provides for easy serviceability. Remote
diagnostic capabilities and technical phone support help to keep the system
running at peak performance, and the system is backed by the industry’s largest
field service organization. Automated Packaging Systems provides the SPrint
SidePouch® bagger and bag packaging materials, while Accutech has developed the
operating system and software that integrates the infeeds, scanners and
conveyor systems. The system includes an easy-to-use touch-screen control panel
and on-board computer that stores all job setup parameters and offers remote
diagnostics. This mail order fulfillment system has been ergonomically designed
for maximum productivity and fast changeover of bag materials, which come in
sizes up to 24 inches wide, making them ideal for packing and shipping
multiples or large, bulky items. SidePouch® bags are available in a variety of
durable materials from 1.32 to 4 mil thick, including the popular EarthAware™
brand of biodegradable mailbags. All SidePouch bags can be pre-printed in up to
10 colors for brand awareness, with easy-open perforations or two-way tape for
merchandise returns.
