If manual packaging is not a good choice at any time?
Most companies choose to use manual packaging instead of packaging machine to complete the daily packaging work at the beginning of their business. At the very beginning, it’s hard to predict exactly what kind of packaging will hit the market and become popular. It is obviously not a wise decision to spend a big amount of money on equipment when the demand is not confirmed clear.
Therefore, like most other small companies, there is smarter choice to start off with small fund and invest on human labor. In that case, we only need a few human resources and a small amount of raw materials to complete the task. At this stage, we should focus more on sales and marketing, to test and Validate feedback from the market.
From manual packaging to automatic packaging,when to start?
Until at a certain point, something changed and that a few labors can no longer meet your demand. That would be a great problem! At that time, it’s not a good idea at all if continue to add more people to finished the job. I believe you’d also have a strong feeling at this moment that maybe you should introduce a set of bagging machine instead of keep increasing workers numbers.
This is the perfect timing we mentioned.

In the future, you will definitely thanks yourself for this decision in the future.
