High order volume demands an effective packaging process. Lacking staff to wrap the package is time and energy-consuming during wrapping are critical needs attention. The objectives of this project are to design, fabricate, and test the Easy Wrap Box Machine to achieve its aims. This project involved designing a simple wrapping machine to assist the online business. The project engaged with ideas to fix the gripper and moveable thread plastic wrapper. The method we use in the wrapping process is by connecting the energy from the DC motor controlled by a switch. In addition, we use several techniques such as the welding process and wiring process for the manufacture of the machine. To identify the effectiveness of the function of the wrapping machine, a testing process was performed on each component on the machine that failed to function properly. The Easy Wrap Box Machine was successfully designed and fabricated, testing was done on the capability to pack one box with a size of a minimum of 21cm and a maximum of 46cm in 2 to 4 minutes depending on the size of the box. In comparison to manual wrapping, the same size of the box takes 5 to 7 minutes. The benefit of the Easy Wrap Box Machine reduced packaging time to 50%. The Easy Wrap Box Machine has the potential to market as an online seller through Shopee and Lazada.
