In what the company describes as a bold move set to “reshape operational efficiency within New Zealand’s logistics landscape”, Minipack Quickshrink has successfully deployed a turnkey packaging automation line to a major New Zealand logistics provider Customised Distribution Limited, marking a “pivotal step forward for automated fulfilment and distribution in the region”.
“As supply chains across the globe face mounting pressure from increased e-commerce volumes, labour shortages, and the growing demand for sustainable operations, logistics companies are turning to intelligent automation to maintain a competitive edge. Minipack Quickshrink, a leading name in packaging machinery and films field, has responded decisively – offering a fully integrated, ready-to-run packaging line designed to streamline every stage of the end-of-line process,” says Antonio Scordamaglia, Minipack Quickshrink owner and CEO.
The installed solution includes automated shrink-wrapping line plus printing- labelling systems – all seamlessly connected and designed to minimise human intervention while maximising throughput and consistency. For Customised Distribution, the impact was immediate with a 35% boost in packaging speed, enhanced package integrity, and a significant reduction in manual handling.
“Turnkey automation isn’t just about machinery – it’s about delivering a complete, intelligent workflow,” says Craig Wickes, CEO of Customised Distribution. “Minipack system is pre-engineered, factory tested, and installed with minimal disruption to operations. The result is faster go-live times and immediate ROI.”
The firm selected Minipack Quickshrink not only for its technical expertise, but for its reputation for localised support and tailored solutions. In a country where geographic isolation can pose logistical challenges of its own, working with a responsive and experienced partner was key.
Sustainability also played a crucial role in the decision. The new packaging line uses precision-controlled recyclable shrink films and automated sizing to minimise material waste, helping the company align with increasingly stringent environmental targets.
“This successful implementation reflects a growing trend across Australasia: logistics firms are no longer content with reactive process improvements. They are investing in future-proof automation that scales with growth and ensures agility in a rapidly changing market,” adds Scordamaglia.
“With this milestone, Minipack Quickshrink not only reinforces its position as a leader in packaging machinery but also proves that New Zealand is ready to embrace the next era of logistics innovation.”
