Car parts and accessories retail specialist, MotorNuts supplies customers through an extensive online store which has a huge range of quality products from leading brands and suppliers. The huge range contains everything from bulbs to brake pads, wiper blades to wheel nuts. They have built a successful family business selling everything for the modern day motorist.
For some time MotorNuts had been buying packing materials as well as shredding paper to fill and pad out their customers parcels, to protect the goods during the delivery stage. This was proving both costly and messy.
MotorNuts were recommended a HSM ProfiPack packaging solution which perforated cardboard when it was fed into the machine, enabling them to recycle and reuse their existing cardboard waste. The ProfiPack packaging machine also had the added benefit of helping the business to reduce their carbon footprint. They no longer had a requirement to use plastic such as bubble wrap to protect the goods when they were sent out to customers. Cardboard was just as effective in protecting the items and could be rolled to create void filling, thus eliminating movement of the items during transit.
With no added costs of packaging to their business, MotorNuts were thrilled with the outcome of using the HSM ProfiPack 425. Cutting and padding are done in a single step – no time-consuming pre-cutting of the cardboard is required. The measurement scale on the device allows easy, infinitely variable adjustment of the working width. The finished packaging padding can be used for the perfect protection of the most diverse objects: as a padding mat, a padding wrap or for filling hollows.
The feedback on the German engineered HSM ProfiPack machine was exceptional. It was both smooth and easy to operate and was backed by a one year warranty. They saved money and waste – never short of boxes in which their stock arrived, they now perforate and reuse the leftover cardboard from the warehouse.
“The HSM ProfiPack has been a great purchase for our business. We’ve saved money and boosted our green credentials,” said Simon Mallord, Managing Director of MotorNuts Limited UK (below).
He added: “Previously we spent EUR 80/per month on cardboard collection services as well as buying extra packing materials such as bubble wrap. The machine paid for itself within months and will be doing so for years to come.”
