What is a packing station?

A packing station is a dedicated workspace within a fulfillment center or warehouse where picked items are packed into parcels, labeled, and prepared for shipping to customers.

Packing stations in eCommerce

In eCommerce, packing stations play a vital role in ensuring that orders are correctly packed, protected, and ready for dispatch. They are equipped with materials such as boxes, labels, tape, void fill, and scanners. With everstox, packing stations are integrated into streamlined pick & pack workflows. Automation, barcode scanning, and real-time data help ensure speed, accuracy, and traceability across all connected warehouses.

Example for a packing station

An electronics brand fulfills hundreds of daily orders. At each everstox-connected packing station, items are scanned, packed in branded boxes, labeled automatically, and handed off to the carrier.
