Book retailer Thalia selects Ranpak's automated packaging systems
Thalia, a book retailer in the Germany, Austria, and Switzerland region, has selected Ranpak's technology to improve its fulfilment capabilities and commitment to sustainability. The alliance also allows Ranpak to expand its international presence. In the first phase of this collaboration, Ranpak will install 12 automated packaging systems at Thalia's fulfilment and production centre, scheduled to open in 2026. The solutions comprise three Cut'It! EVO systems, three Form'It! systems, and six Flap'it! systems. The Flap'it! system is designed to optimise the packing process for small, flat items, whereas the Form'it! system is an automated box-forming system engineered to enhance the initial stage of the packaging process by erecting corrugated boxes. Cut'it! EVO, meanwhile, is an automated right-sizing system designed to optimise the height of shipping boxes after items have been picked and packed. This solution minimises empty space and waste, and automatically closes and seals the boxes. This installation marks the initial phase of a broader strategy, with Thalia exploring the addition of further Ranpak systems as it expands its operations. Ranpak's automated solutions are anticipated to integrate smoothly into Thalia's fulfilment environments. Ranpak chair and CEO Omar Asali said: 'At Ranpak, we are committed to helping companies transition to smarter, more sustainable packaging processes. 'Our partnership with Thalia represents a shared vision for automation that not only delivers operational excellence but also reduces environmental impact. 'We are proud to support Thalia's fulfilment network with our innovative, paper-based automation solutions.' The integration will improve packaging processes across Thalia's e-commerce platform and its network of more than 500 physical stores. Element Logic will manage the deployment of Ranpak's solutions, utilising its expertise in optimising warehouse operations with new technologies. Thalia supply chain and logistics managing director Marco Rebohm said: 'Partnering with Ranpak for our new omnichannel hub, which will be an outstanding fulfilment and production facility, marks a key milestone in our mission to make book distribution smarter, greener, and more efficient. 'These new systems will enhance our fulfilment capabilities, support our sustainability goals, and position us for scalable growth. This is just the beginning of a powerful transformation and exciting partnership ahead.' In March this year, Ranpak posted a net revenue of $105m for the fourth quarter (Q4) of 2024, a 16% increase compared to $90.4m in Q4 2023.

Ranpak unveils in-line printing for packaging automation
Ranpak Holdings has launched Print'it!, an in-line printing solution designed for automated packaging lines. This new offering enables full-colour custom printing on up to 15 boxes per minute, catering to various box heights. Print'it! is set to provide customers with the ability to personalise packaging on-demand, streamlining the branding process within their existing automation systems. The company noted that its new solution is suitable for businesses that manage multiple brands or seek to create a more personal connection with their customers through customised messages. By integrating Print'it! into standardised automated packaging lines, companies can eliminate the need for maintaining a stock of preprinted boxes, thereby reducing the complexity of inventory management, the company added. When paired with Ranpak's Cut'it! EVO height-reduction and box-sealing machine or similar systems, Print'it! can apply unique full-colour designs to packages without requiring additional manual handling, thereby maintaining the efficiency of the automation process. This capability is particularly appealing to third-party logistics providers, e-commerce platforms, and fulfilment centres that aim to differentiate their packaging. With the launch of Print'it!, Ranpak underscores its commitment to innovation in sustainable, paper-based packaging solutions. Ranpak Automation global managing director Bryan Boatner said: 'The Print'it! solution unlocks new personalisation capabilities for automated packaging lines that are exciting for both operations and marketing. 'It's the icing on the cake of the improved total packaging solution that Ranpak Automation delivers for end-customers. And it's achievable while optimising efficiency for our clients, helping them consolidate their SKUs [stock-keeping units] and streamline their processes.' Earlier this month, Ranpak teamed up with Rabot, a company specialising in vision AI technology to provide its customers with advanced insights.
