Packaging and shipping displays for trade shows is no small feat for Volkmann, Inc. The company manufactures and displays large pneumatic vacuum conveyors, bag dump stations, unique No-Tip Unloaders and powder handling equipment.
“The equipment we display is large and requires custom-built shipping boxes that will adequately protect it,” said Lori Garrett of Volkmann at a recent trade show (PACK EXPO Las Vegas).
In the past, the company built its own boxes, spending about $800 in materials and then dedicating critical staff time to building the shipping crates. The repeated use of screws to reopen and re-close the crates would eventually denigrate the wood after about four uses, and the Volkmann staff would have to repeat the process.
