Process optimisation

More efficient packaging leads to a lower Total Cost of Packaging

At Topa, process optimisation means continuously improving and streamlining packaging operations. By analysing the entire chain, from handling and internal transport to storage and dispatch, we help companies simplify, accelerate and make their packaging processes more cost-effective. Our specialists identify where time, material and money are being lost and translate those insights into practical improvements. This not only reduces the Total Cost of Packaging, but also increases productivity and reliability throughout the entire logistics flow.

Insight into the process

Optimisation starts with insight. We examine how packaging is currently being used, where tasks overlap or where unnecessary steps are causing delays. In many cases, small adjustments make a big difference: a more ergonomic workstation, a more efficient packaging line or a better balance between material use and protection. Less waste and shorter handling times bring direct savings in time and cost, while also contributing to a healthier and more productive working environment.

A practical example: saving thirty seconds per package may seem insignificant, but at one hundred packages a day, that adds up to more than fifty minutes of additional capacity. This gain only becomes visible when the entire process is mapped out, from product to pallet.

From analysis to improvement

Our specialists look beyond the packaging itself. We examine the entire logistics chain, from handling to transport and storage. By optimising these links as one connected system, we reduce waste, improve flow, and achieve a lower Total Cost of Packaging. We combine in-depth knowledge of packaging materials and techniques with hands-on experience from various sectors.

All improvements are backed by data and tested at the Topa Institute. Here, we simulate processes and thoroughly test packaging solutions for stability, processability and real-world performance. Based on those results, we recommend solutions that don’t just work on paper, they deliver in your day-to-day operations.

The result: simpler, faster, more profitable

Process optimisation delivers more than just cost savings. It creates clarity and calm on the shop floor, reduces damage, and ensures more continuity in production and logistics. By continuously improving, we work together with our clients to build packaging processes that are simpler, faster and more sustainable, ready for the future.
