Packaging-on-demand with pre-applied heat-seal coatings

The rapidly growing e-commerce trade requires efficient automation processes at fulfilment centres, whilst minimising void fill.

One solution is creating on-demand packaging with the use of a pre-treated and customised paper. These papers are equipped with a water-based heat-seal coating, which is applied during the paper manufacturing process. At the fulfilment centre the heat-seal coating is activated, creating a perfect bond and tamper-evident right-sized packaging structure. Gone are the times of manual packing and overpackaging, as Henkel's pre-applied heat-seal coatings enable reliable, high-performance automated packaging.

The coated paper is designed to fully comply with the defined requirements of the fulfilment centre and has been shown to be recyclable in paper recycling mills.

Fulfilment centres are always looking to increase efficiency through process automation. One solution is the use of packaging which is coated with a pre-applied heat-seal coating. These coatings enable efficient and fast packing and sealing of packages. No extra handling of materials like tapes or glues is needed in the fulfilment centre, as the pre-applied coating is heat-activated. Henkel's range of water-based heat-seal coatings for right-sized e-commerce packaging is optimised for paper conversion as well as automated packaging processes in fulfilment centres:
