Conversation with a specialist – 5 things you should know before choosing a packing tables supplier.
Your company is constantly growing, so you are looking for new solutions that can improve and speed up your packing and shipping work. You come across various offers, the choice is large and, at first glance, appears complicated.
Read a short interview with a specialist and find out what you absolutely must look out for before choosing a good packing tables supplier.
Joanna Prugar – Mr Daniel, what could you advise someone interested in the offer of packing tables? It is possible to order them from many suppliers on the market. Each offers different prices and style of manufacture. The choice can be overwhelming.
Daniel Stachowiak, CEO of effepack – The most important thing at the moment – focus on quality. Tables are one of the critical elements of the entire packaging process. They are responsible for the final stage, the final touches of shipping. The packaging is what the customer will see and judge first. It must therefore make a positive impression on him.
J.P. – What otherwise?
D.S. – If the table is of poor quality, the first thing that catches the eye is a poor top, which scratches quickly and needs to be replaced after a short time. Sometimes the table’s components spontaneously dislodge and the accessories mounted on it breakdown. The packer cannot work, shipping delays occur, the customer gets upset. A situation that neither party wants to find itself in.
J.P. – How can a customer check the quality without seeing the table? He can only see the offer pictures.
D.S. – The best source of the necessary information are opinions and references, usually issued after the table has been in use for a long time. Every reliable manufacturer should give an opportunity to get acquainted with them. It is worth carrying out such verification.
J.P. – The customer finally finds a specific company with positive reviews. He is initially interested, but the mere fact of choosing a manufacturer gives him nothing. There are all kinds of tables, how is he supposed to make a choice?
D.S. – The packing table can, and indeed should, be adapted to our needs. Every company has its own way of packing, ships different goods, uses different materials and tools for this. A correctly designed table makes work much more efficient, the necessary accessories are at the right heights, which gives a large, comfortable space to work in.
J.P. – The customer orders a table that is perfectly suited to their business. Work goes smoothly, everyone is happy. However, after a while something changes, he starts to run out of accessories and others are redundant and get in the way. Does he need to order a new table?
D.S. – Absolutely not! Professional tables are expandable and accessories can be replaced. Nobody can predict what will change in a while, even after a few years. Good tables can easily withstand that much and it is important that they can adapt to new realities and do so in a non-invasive way – without drilling and welding. Simplicity above all.
J.P. – There are entrepreneurs who have an idea and want to improve the packaging system in their warehouse, but can’t quite pin everything down. The overabundance of options available does not help. How can they recognise which accessories will work best for them?
D.S. – I always say that cooperation with a specialist is fundamental. A good adviser has many years of experience and many previous implementations. His knowledge and practice are enough to suggest ideal solutions and help the entrepreneur to order a table that he will be fully satisfied with.
J.P. – So we have a manufacturer selected and a table configured. What else would you like to point out to prospective clients?
D.S. – In addition to assessing the quality of workmanship and the materials used, they should get an idea of how long the manufacturer’s guarantee is. It gives a sense of security. The longer it is, the better, as it suggests that it is a high-quality product. It gives the entrepreneur peace of mind, not having to worry about damage or possible repairs.
J.P. – Thank you for your interview and your time.
D.S. – Thank you. I hope that my tips will be useful for anyone facing the choice of a packing tables supplier. It is an extremely important element that has a huge impact on many aspects of packaging – such as speed, quality or convenience. Therefore, it is important to make a good decision.

- Bet on quality.
- Customise the table to suit your needs.
