What packaging automation does.
Packaging is the last thing that happens to a mattress before it leaves the floor: it is compressed, rolled or folded, sealed in film or a bag, and labeled for shipment. For a bed in a box product the compression and roll step is not just packaging but part of the product promise, since the whole business model depends on a queen mattress fitting in a carton a courier can carry.
The equipment spans roll pack machines that compress and spiral a mattress into a tight cylinder, compression and bagging units that flatten and seal a mattress in film, and folding and boxing automation that stages the packed unit into a carton. Compression force, the mattress types a machine can safely pack, and cycle time separate a light e commerce packer from a heavy full line unit.
Packaging sits at the very end of the line, so its cycle time sets the maximum finished goods rate no matter how fast the sewing stations run. Sizing a packaging station means matching compression to the mattresses you actually ship, since an innerspring tolerates different handling than an all foam roll pack, the pack format your channel expects, and the throughput the front of your line can feed it.
