A highly efficient mailroom is essential for businesses to maintain productivity and ensure smooth operations. From handling daily deliveries to preparing outgoing packages, having the best solutions at hand can make all the difference.
In this blog, Glen Shepherd, Head of Health, Hygiene, Safety & Packaging at Winc shares his five steps for creating a high efficiency mailroom.
1. Choose the right equipment.
Packaging tape is a mailroom essential for securely sealing parcels and envelopes. Choosing the right packaging tape can make a big difference. The Tesa® 4513 premium paper packaging tape combines the durability of a robust paper backing with the exceptional adhesive power of synthetic rubber to securely seal parcels and reduce the risk of damaged packages. The paper backing is FSC® Recycled certified, ensuring sustainability without compromising on quality.
“It’s important to have quality packaging tape on hand. Tesa’s superior adhesion helps keep parcels protected and secure while in transit, while also looking highly professional,” says Glen.
2. Take care of fragile items.
Ensure the safe delivery of your fragile items with the Polycell Honeycomb Tuff Mailer. Knowing items will arrive in perfect condition provides peace of mind for both you and your customers. Crafted with strong and durable Kraft material that is FSC® Mix certified, these mailers are built to withstand the rigours of the shipping process and offer excellent resistance to tearing, punctures and other potential damage.
“These mailer bags are easy to use. Just peel and use the self-seal closures to help speed up your packaging time and eliminate damaged return claims. Eco-conscious, these tough mailer bags are also both 100% recyclable and biodegradable,” says Glen.
3. Reduce risk of injuries and damaged goods.
Break down boxes easily with the Klever Eco X-Change, a twin-sided safety cutter with a handle made from 95% recycled materials. Featuring a concealed high-quality carbon steel twin-side blade, this cutter ensures precise and efficient cutting while helping to reduce the risk of cut injuries and damage to goods.
“This safety cutter ensures maximum safety and efficiency during mailroom operations. The reusable handle also means you only need to replace the blade head, helping to reduce plastic waste,” says Glen.
4. Embrace more sustainable solutions for a greener future.
Choose more efficient products for your mailroom to help eliminate waste and downtime in removing excess materials with the Envirostar Honeycomb Paper and Tissue Wrap Dispenser. This dispenser offers an alternative to plastic bubbles and foam wrap. Housed in a compact and easy-to-use dispenser, the honeycomb paper and tissue are both 100% recyclable and FSC® Mix certified.
“Ideal for small spaces, the adaptive design of this Kraft paper product expands into a 3D honeycomb structure, accommodating items of every shape for secure wrapping,” says Glen
5. Keep your mailroom organised with the right storage solution.
A well-organised mailroom is key to maintaining efficiency and reducing downtime. The Fischer Viro-tub range offers a durable and sustainable solution for sorting and storing packages, documents, and supplies. Made from 100% recycled plastic, these sturdy tubs are built to withstand daily use, making them ideal for busy workplaces.
