Most warehouse managers think they need more staff to speed up packing.
But honestly, we’ve seen huge improvements just by reorganizing the station.
Here’s what actually works:
1. Put the strapping tool where your hand naturally goes
If your tool is too far, every reach wastes time.
2. Use a strap dispenser
Don’t let the roll sit on the floor.
A dispenser keeps it feeding smoothly and avoids tangles.
3. Pre-cut strap lengths for common box sizes
If you strap the same boxes daily, this saves tons of time.
4. Keep tape + cutter + strap in one line
Think in “flow direction” — no back and forth.
5. Keep trash bin right under the table
You’d be shocked how often workers walk around to throw something away.
Small changes = big time savings.
