Box size reduction
Smaller cases, lighter cases
IMA E-COMMERCE closing modules enable a significant reduction in box size, leading to reduced dimensional weight (DIM), lower shipping costs, significant freight savings and increased efficiency in truck loading (25-30% improvement). Integrated into automated box packing systems, they help optimize logistics, reduce transportation expenses and improve the overall efficiency of the warehouse packing process. -
Plant efficiency
Optimise the space in your plant with our automated packing systems
One E-CO FLEX integrated packing station can replace up to 10 manual packaging stations. Results in significant operational cost savings and frees up valuable plant space, promoting efficient facility utilization and allowing for an increase in manufacturing throughput. -
Paper-based materials
Paper-based protective solutions
The E-CO FLEX family of packaging box machines promotes sustainability through the use of paper void fill and water-activated tape, contributing to eco-friendly packaging practices. This recyclable reinforced paper packaging tape is used by top e-commerce players and generates an immediate destructive bond, resulting in a tamper-evident package. Moreover, no scrap is produced during case downsizing and packaging can be plastic-free. -
Reusable cases
The E-CO friendly alternative to cardboard boxes
Reusable cases are a significant innovation in the e-fulfillment sector, emerging in a complex but evolving landscape. On one hand, they offer a sustainable alternative to traditional cardboard boxes, with up to 20 reuses and being made from 100% recyclable plastic. However, their increased rigidity poses challenges for machinability compared to standard cardboard packaging. IMA E-COMMERCE has successfully validated the machinability of these innovative cases on its E-CO FLEX series machines.

In partnership with IPG
Thanks to the partnership with Intertape Polymer Group, market leader for water-activated carton sealing tape, E-CO Flex features a Water-Activated Tape (WAT) head, which applies recyclable reinforced paper packaging tape used by top e-commerce retailers. The case can be securely sealed with just one strip on the bottom and one strip of the top of the box. An immediate destructive bond is generated, resulting in a tamper evident package.
IPG is exclusive distributor of the E-CO Flex in North America.
