Tobacco

Unlike many palletized goods, tobacco products can be crushable or tear easily. Cigarettes, for example, can be damaged by excessive pressure or rough handling during palletizing. This requires careful selection of palletizing methods and equipment that can handle the product gently without compromising its integrity.

Tobacco

Tobacco products are hygroscopic, meaning they absorb moisture from the environment. This can be a challenge during palletizing, as exposure to excess moisture can negatively impact the quality of the tobacco. Ensuring proper ventilation and potentially using climate-controlled palletizing areas might be necessary to prevent moisture build-up and maintain product quality.

Tobacco

The tobacco industry is heavily regulated, with requirements for tracking and tracing products throughout the supply chain. Palletizing systems need to integrate seamlessly with these traceability protocols. This might involve incorporating features like barcode scanning at each stage of palletizing or using specialized software to track and document the movement of palletized tobacco products.
