In today's competitive furniture industry, manufacturers are constantly seeking smarter ways to cut logistics costs and increase packing efficiency. One common debate is whether to stick with manual sofa packing or invest in an automated sofa compression machine like the NG-03M by NAIGU.
So, which packing method is truly better in terms of cost, speed, safety, and long-term ROI?
Let's dive into a side-by-side comparison.
When it comes to production speed, manual packing simply can't compete.
