Packing speed is not a problem until it suddenly is. During normal weeks, a team finds a rhythm. During peak season, the same team faces two or three times the volume, and every manual step becomes a bottleneck.
The Aircosan YA10C is a 35cm-wide paper bubble machine with a built-in automatic cutter. The effect on peak throughput comes from removing one specific step: measuring and cutting cushioning.
Before the machine, that step is manual. Someone pulls paper to roughly the right length, cuts it, and wraps. It takes a few seconds per order. Across a thousand orders, it is hours. And it gets slower as the day goes on.
With the YA10C, you set the piece length and quantity on the touchscreen, press start, and the machine produces that amount and stops. The operator stages a stack of ready cushioning next to the packing station. The person packing never stops to make material.
That distinction matters. Speeding up a manual step helps, but removing it from the flow entirely is what changes throughput. A temporary worker can run the machine after a few minutes of instruction.
The 35cm width fits smaller items: skincare, cosmetics, small gifts, accessories. For larger goods, wider units exist; we build up to 80cm at our factory.
One operational detail helps during peaks: no inflation, no heating, no adhesive. The machine runs on a standard 200W outlet. Fewer things can interrupt a shift.
The result is not that the line moves dramatically faster. It is that the line does not slow down.
