E-commerce Packaging Solutions
----Flexible Automation for Fast, Scalable Online Order Fulfillment
Industry Challenges
The e-commerce industry handles an extremely wide range of products—from electronics and personal care items to cosmetics and daily consumer goods. While product types vary, the packaging challenges remain the same: high order volume, tight delivery timelines, and heavy reliance on manual labor.
Common challenges faced by e-commerce manufacturers and fulfillment operations include:
Labor-Intensive Manual Packaging
Manual box folding, cartoning, bagging, and labeling are slow and physically demanding. As order volumes grow, labor quickly becomes a bottleneck.High Labor Costs & Short-Term Staffing Pressure
During holidays and promotional seasons, companies must hire large numbers of temporary workers, driving up costs without improving long-term profitability.Order Peaks vs. Stable Output
Speeding up manual work often leads to inconsistent packaging quality, while slowing down risks delayed deliveries and failed fulfillment commitments.Diverse Packaging Requirements
Premium products such as cosmetics, electronics, and branded accessories require protective bagging, while household items and appliances rely heavily on box folding and cartoning.
These challenges make automated packaging a critical foundation for scalable and reliable e-commerce fulfillment.

Success Stories in E-commerce Packaging Automation
Automated Cartoning for an Electric Toothbrush Brand
As a result, the company reduced its workforce by 8 operators, increased packaging efficiency by 40%, and improved profit margins by 130%. The automated solution allowed the business to handle peak orders without additional labor, transforming packaging from a cost burden into a competitive advantage.
A cosmetics manufacturer needed a clean and efficient solution for packaging cushion foundation refill cartridges. Hygiene, consistency, and speed were critical, as manual bagging could not meet production or cleanliness requirements.
UBL provided the YH-MA51K high-speed bagging machine, enabling automated bagging with minimal human contact. The system delivered stable output, reduced labor dependency, and ensured clean, professional packaging suitable for cosmetic products.
After implementation, the company significantly improved packaging efficiency while maintaining strict hygiene standards—supporting both domestic sales and online distribution channels.
Hygienic High-Speed Bagging for Cosmetic Refill Packaging
High-Speed Carton Erecting for a Cosmetics Brand
A mid-sized cosmetics manufacturer needed to fold a large volume of retail cartons for its skincare and makeup products. Previously, carton forming was done entirely by hand. The process was slow, labor-intensive, and inconsistent—workers occasionally damaged cartons during folding, increasing material waste and overall packaging costs.
To solve this issue, the company purchased a HL-ZK10 Automatic Snap Lock Bottom Carton Erecting Machine from UBL. The machine was integrated into the existing packing workflow, where one machine continuously erected cartons while operators focused solely on product loading and final packing.
After implementation, carton forming speed increased significantly, and the company was able to eliminate the need for five full-time carton folding workers. Unlike manual labor, the machine operates well beyond an 8-hour shift, ensuring stable output during peak production periods. As a result,
the cosmetics brand reduced labor costs, minimized carton damage, and achieved a more efficient and reliable packaging process—while maintaining the high-quality appearance required for premium cosmetic products.
