On a new floor you get one chance to put the packing area in the right place, and it is usually spent on everything else. Production is planned in detail and despatch is given whatever is left near the gate.
IMT Faridabad, Sector 68-70 · Faridabad, Haryana
IMT Faridabad in sectors 68 to 70 is the newer industrial development in the city, with larger, planned plots and units that are being laid out rather than inherited.
PackForge Industries builds carton sealing, strapping, wrapping and handling machines at Faridabad. This page is for a plant that is still being drawn, because that is when the cheapest decisions are available.
Packing sits between the last production step and the vehicle, and it should be placed on that line rather than beside it.
The test is simple: count the turns a finished item makes between coming off production and going onto a truck. Every turn is handling, and every handling is a chance for damage and a cost that never appears on a costing sheet.
Leave room for the load to wait. A packing area with no staging space pushes finished goods back into production or out into the yard, and both are worse than the floor you saved.
Plan the area for the peak day, not the average one. On a new floor that costs only drawing; on an existing one it costs a wall.
Electrical points, compressed air and lighting at the packing bench are trivially cheap while the floor is being built and awkward afterwards.
Put a dedicated point at the bench rather than a spur, and put in more than you think you need. Every machine added later needs one, and the second machine is always added later.
Where compressed air might be wanted — pneumatic tools, some sealers — run the line now even if nothing is connected to it. The pipe is cheap; cutting the floor is not.
Light the bench properly. Seal quality, label position and damage inspection all depend on somebody being able to see, and packing areas are routinely the worst-lit part of a new plant.
Very few new plants can justify a full line on day one, and they should not try. What they can do is buy in an order that does not close doors.
Start with the machines that suit any volume — a sealer and a strapping machine matched to your carton — and leave the floor arranged so a conveyor could join them later.
The decision that closes doors is layout, not equipment. A bench built into a corner cannot become a line; the same bench with a metre either side can.
Ask what the line looks like at three times your volume, then leave room for it and buy for today.
A new plant can choose its pallet size, and almost none do — they inherit whatever arrives with their raw material.
Pallet size decides carton size, stacking pattern, vehicle utilisation and whether a wrapper's turntable suits you. Choosing it deliberately is a day's work that pays for years.
Match it to your customers' expectations where they have any, and to your vehicle otherwise. A pallet that wastes eight inches of a container width costs money on every single despatch.
Tell us the pallet size with the enquiry. It changes the turntable and often the machine.
Machines ordered for a plant under construction sit somewhere until the floor is ready, and where they sit matters.
Ask for them to be held rather than delivered into a building site, or arrange dry, covered storage. A machine that spends a monsoon in a shell arrives with rust nobody budgeted for.
Commissioning should be planned for after the floor and the power are finished, not around them. It is a short job when the site is ready and a series of visits when it is not.
Prices are ex works from our works in this city, with GST and freight separate. The despatch date is given on the day you ask.
On the line between the last production step and the vehicle, with staging space. Count the turns a finished item makes — every turn is handling you are paying for.
More than you need, with a dedicated point at the bench. Every machine added later needs one, and there is always a later machine.
Rarely. Buy the machines that suit any volume and leave the floor arranged so a conveyor can join them. Layout closes doors; equipment does not.
It decides carton size, stacking, vehicle fill and which turntable suits you. A new plant can choose deliberately, and almost none do.
Ask us to hold it, or arrange dry covered storage. A machine that spends a monsoon in an unfinished shell arrives with rust nobody budgeted for.
Enough for a full shift's finished output to stand, plus room to walk both sides of every machine. On a new floor that is drawing work; retro-fitting it later costs a wall.
Send your carton size, load weight or line speed and we will tell you which machine fits — including the times when the cheaper machine is the right answer. Prices are ex works from our Faridabad works; GST and freight are quoted separately against your delivery address.
