Any one use an Air Packing Machine?

jojo2012 · #1 10-30-2015

I'm getting pretty crowed with packing material, & the room I ship in becomes a huge mess on busy weekends, When Christmas comes I make a Major mess, I am always looking for free newspaper, reusing Packing material from packages I receive.

I'm considering buying an air packaging machine but the prices seem very high with a few exceptions I found on Amazon (most seem to be $1,400 & Up, Amazon has a couple in the $450-$700 range)
I'm just wondering if anyone has used these & What there experience has been. It seems to be a pretty big investment but may be worth it in the long run. Less mess & a more "professional" look.

Thanks all & Happy Halloween!

I just use binbags and tape for my parcels. Rolls of binbags are easy to store.

As long as these binbags were relatively cheap to get?

yeah binbags work great you use a pile of sellotape but it works grand, using old cardboard food boxes also cuts costs and is good for the environment #ecohour

I use old flyers and shopping bags, bits of odds and ends as needed

i go to the factories and ask them for their empty boxes, they are usually flatpackd and they are happy for me to take them, sometimes i can get 1meter square cardboard boxes, then its a stanly knife and brown tape on a dispenser
