As the Easter rush approaches, Australian businesses are feeling the pressure of increased holiday volume. When your dispatch team is working overtime to get orders out the door, the difference between a smooth operation and a chaotic one often comes down to the tools you use.
At Knight Packaging Supplies, we’ve been helping local businesses navigate these peaks since 1974, and we know that manual labour has its limits.
Why the Easter Rush is Different
Easter isn’t just about Sunday morning egg hunts; for businesses, it’s a logistical marathon that starts weeks in advance. During this period, company’s see a massive spike in orders for everything from delicate confectionery and gourmet hampers to bulk retail stock and outdoor equipment for the long weekend.
Shipping chocolate and fragile gift sets requires extra care—one cracked egg or crushed box can result in a frustrated customer and a lost relationship. This is why we see a surge in demand for our biggest sellers: high-quality tape, protective bubble wrap, and foam.
However, as order volumes climb, the physical toll on your staff to wrap and strap every single shipment manually can lead to bottlenecks and delivery delays.
Efficiency is No Accident
If your team is still wrestling with manual strapping or hand-wrapping pallets during a holiday peak, you’re losing more than just time; you’re losing money. Our range of machinery is designed to take the physical strain off your staff while doubling your output, ensuring those orders reach customers in time for the festivities.
For this Easter season, we are highlighting three powerhouses from the Pacmasta range to help you keep up:
- Semi-Auto Strapping Machine TMS-300: This is an absolute workhorse for securing cartons quickly and consistently. It’s perfect for ensuring your Easter hampers and chocolate boxes are tight, secure, and ready for the bumpy ride in a delivery van.
- Semi-Auto Stretch Wrapping Machine OR-1000: A fantastic entry-level machine that provides professional, consistent pallet wrapping. It eliminates the dizzying and physically demanding task of manual hand-wrapping, allowing your team to focus on picking and packing instead.
- Semi-Auto Stretch Wrapping Machine OR-3000: For businesses with higher volume needs, this machine offers advanced features to further streamline your palletising process during the holiday scramble. It’s built for reliability, so you won’t be left stranded by equipment failure when you need it most.
The Knight Packaging Difference
We aren’t just a faceless online shop; we are a family-owned, small team where customer service is hugely important. When you invest in machinery with us, you aren’t just getting a crate delivered to your door. You get the expertise of a team with 30 years in the industry.
Because we are a small Australian company, we can make quick decisions and provide hands-on support to ensure your new equipment is working perfectly from day one.
We only supply well-known, quality brands like Pacmasta because we believe in products that cause very few problems. In the world of packaging, “cheap” often ends up being very expensive when a machine breaks down mid-shift.
