Packing Stations – The Forgotten Link
Companies will spend millions of dollars on automated storage and conveying systems, and put little focus on their packing stations. Packing stations impact productivity, order checking and shipping damage which can negatively affect larger productivity efforts. In the past 2 years, New-Tech has installed over 300 packing workstations for our customers designed to maximize productivity and efficiency.
New-Tech has teamed up with Dehnco to offer you the best packing station solutions. With over 20 years of experience, Dehnco offers a wide variety of workstations that can be easily customized with bolt-on accessories to create the perfect workstation for your needs. Dehnco's modular designs also make it easy to reconfigure workstations over time as your business needs change.

New-Tech believes that good packaging station design is an interactive process beginning with a discussion of what the customers goals are in terms of workstation footprint, work flow and productivity. Based upon those discussions, New-Tech can put together a 3-D drawing of the proposed workstation to show the suggested elements and how they will be used in the work flow. You can also start designing your packaging station with this handy Design Tool. If you wish, first take a minute to watch a quick Tutorial on designing your packaging station.
There might be situations where custom parts are needed to meet a customer's unique needs. Dehnco has an extensive collection of custom parts that have been created over the years, and New-Tech can also design parts to meet special needs such as:
- A light fixture mount where the angle of the light fixture can be adjusted.
- A digital camera arm allowing the overhead photography of products before shipping.
- A ball top scale and table where product is packed on the scale, and when finished the package is pushed straight onto a conveyor.
- A compact wiring trough mounted to the back of the workstation to handle a tangle of computer cables.
Flexibility, good listening, and responsiveness are the reasons why New-Tech has sold workstations to some of the most prominent companies in Memphis such as Fed Ex, Medtronic, Mimeo.com and Smith & Nephew.
