TANAX Product Lineup

Among the processes that support logistics, packaging and packing are areas that are often overlooked. The challenges faced on-site, such as labor shortages, rising logistics costs, and the need for environmental considerations, are becoming increasingly complex each year, and many of these issues stem from the "packaging process." Since its founding in the Meiji era, TANAX has continuously engaged with the concept of "packaging." We view packaging and packing not merely as operational processes, but as crucial elements that support the quality, efficiency, and environmental responsiveness of logistics, and we propose improvements tailored to the specific needs of each site.

This is a length-variable automatic packaging machine that uses single-sided cardboard (rolled cardboard) or kraft paper, automatically adjusting the length to match the product size during packaging. By detecting the length of the inserted product and processing packaging, sealing, and labeling in a high-speed continuous manner, it achieves a significant reduction in material usage and workload compared to traditional packaging processes using cardboard boxes. Compared to "Fast Pack," it allows for the packaging of larger products. Leveraging the flexibility and certain cushioning properties of single-sided cardboard (rolled cardboard), this packaging machine can achieve efficiency, labor reduction, and environmental consideration in sites looking to simplify packaging.

This is a height-variable automatic sealing machine that automatically detects the height of the product and processes the height of the cardboard case for sealing. It automates the processes of measuring, cutting, scoring, folding, and sealing, achieving optimal packaging sizes. Furthermore, it can accommodate up to four types of lids. By switching the lid design on a case-by-case basis, it can cater to multiple shippers. This enhances the added value of packaging, improves the unboxing experience, strengthens brand recognition, and leads to more efficient communication and prevention of shipping errors.

AUTOMATION is a customizable solution that can build an optimal automatic packaging line from scratch, tailored to packaging challenges, product sizes, shipping volumes, and on-site layouts. It allows for flexible combinations of packaging processes such as cardboard processing, box making, product insertion, sealing, and labeling, accommodating everything from on-demand production to mass production. Its key feature is the ability to address multiple site challenges—such as small lot production of various items, standardization, optimization of material inventory, labor reduction, and damage prevention—within a single line design.

• Other packaging machines

In logistics sites, while automation is advancing, there are still many cases where the packaging process continues to rely on manual labor. As customer needs diversify, leading to fluctuations in shipping volumes and an increase in small-lot production of various items, the packaging process can become a bottleneck, halting the flow of logistics as a whole. TANAX's logistics automation solutions do not simply involve the introduction of machinery; instead, they design the entire packaging process from the perspective of "which processes to automate and where to retain human work." We promote the automation and reduction of labor in the packaging process tailored to the layout and operational realities of the site, supporting the establishment of sustainable logistics.

• Other packaging machines

This is a three-dimensional variable automatic packaging machine that automatically measures the three dimensions (length, width, height) of products and performs everything from processing cardboard cases optimized for product sizes to sealing and label application. Products placed on the conveyor have cases automatically generated based on size data, and the process consistently merges the product and case for sealing. It accommodates a wide range of product sizes from minimum to maximum, and can flexibly handle continuous processing of the same size as well as packaging operations where sizes change randomly. By automating the packaging process, it achieves increased efficiency, reduced labor, and optimized materials in packaging operations.

• Other packaging machines

This is a three-dimensional variable automatic box-making machine that processes cardboard sheets to match product sizes and manufactures boxes of optimal sizes. It does not perform sealing but supplies the assembled boxes to packaging operators. By intentionally omitting the sealing process, it allows for flexible incorporation of tasks by operators, such as adding cushioning materials, including additional items, and combining multiple products. It can achieve a reduction in box inventory and standardization of packaging processes even in environments with a variety of small lots. While OPERA automates the sealing process, OPERETTA is positioned as a "box-making process" and is a highly compatible automatic box-making machine with other packaging processes.

• Box making machine

"JIVARO PRINT" is an option for the "Height Adjustable Sealing Machine JIVARO" that allows for on-site printing on the lid when attaching it to the box. Thanks to the on-demand printer, high-precision printing can be done starting from just one case. Creating customized lids can also enhance branding. The excitement that builds from placing an order to the arrival of the product can be conveyed through packaging materials, promoting repeat purchases and word-of-mouth, thus serving as a promotional tool to enhance brand loyalty. 【Features】 ■ Promotion through JIVARO PRINT and Multi-lid ■ Labor-saving and efficiency improvements in packaging operations due to high productivity ■ Improved workability in palletizing and transportation loading efficiency, as well as reduced management costs through standardization of packaging box sizes ■ Reduction in transportation costs due to the reduction of height-adjustable sizes *For more details, please refer to the related links or feel free to contact us.

Efforts to consider the environment have become an essential element of corporate activities. On the other hand, environmental measures in the packaging process often face concerns such as "not knowing where to start" and "worrying that workability or quality may decline," which can lead to a reluctance to take concrete steps for improvement. TANAX's environmental solutions are designed to reduce environmental impact while maintaining the protective performance and workability required in packaging. Rather than treating environmental measures as a special initiative, we propose improvements that can be implemented seamlessly within the packaging process, thereby supporting sustainable efforts.
