Good news to share! In 2026, our incense packaging machine was successfully exported to Egypt and helped him reduce his operation costs and speed up delivery of incese sticks in the local market. Let’s discuss the case details.
Client Background
Our customer is a retail incense stick manufacturer based in Egypt, using our automatic incense packaging machine to package incense sticks in three different sizes:
- 23 cm length, 3 mm diameter
- 31 cm length, 3 mm diameter
- 38 cm length, 11 mm diameter
Given the wide range of product lengths, the customer needed a reliable incense stick packing machine flexible enough to handle multiple stick sizes without switching machines or investing in separate equipment for each product line.
Challenge: From Manual Packaging to Automation
Before working with us, the customer relied entirely on manual packaging, sealing only 80–100 bags per day. This is a common turning point we see across incense manufacturers considering a manual to automatic packaging upgrade — manual sealing simply cannot scale with growing order volume.
The main pain points affecting the customer’s incense packaging efficiency included:
- Low production efficiency — manual sealing couldn’t keep up with order volume
- Rising labor costs — more workers were needed just to maintain output, cutting into profit margins; the customer was actively looking for a way to reduce labor costs with a packaging machine
- Delayed deliveries — production couldn’t scale fast enough to meet customer deadlines, risking client relationships and repeat orders
The customer needed an incense packaging machine manufacturer who could provide an automatic solution reliably handle their range of stick sizes while running on a standard Egyptian power supply (220V 50Hz 1PH).
Our Solution: Model 300-SS Three Side Seal Packaging Machine
After reviewing the customer’s product specifications and production goals, we recommended our Model 300-SS three side seal packaging machine (also known as a C-type sealing machine), configured specifically for their voltage requirements and product dimensions.
Key specifications matched to the customer’s needs:
| Parameter | Detail |
|---|---|
| Packaging Type | Three-side sealed C-type |
| Packaging Speed | 20–45 bags/minute |
| Bag Length Range | 200–550mm |
| Packaging Width | 30–70mm |
| Film Thickness | 0.02–0.04mm |
| Film Type | OPP/BOPP film packaging machine compatible — metallized & heat-sealable composite films |
| Voltage/Power | 220V/2.2KW (matched to Egypt's 220V 50Hz 1PH supply) |
| Machine Weight | 395kg |
| Dimensions | 1700×1300×1300mm |
This machine is a versatile stick product packing machine, well-suited not only for incense sticks but also for bamboo skewer packaging, barbecue stick packaging, straws, pencils, and other stick-shaped product packaging needs — making it a smart investment for manufacturers with diverse product lines.
It’s also increasingly popular among agarbatti packing machine buyers across South Asian markets seeking the same automation benefits.
Results After Installation
The improvement in incense stick bagging performance was immediate and dramatic:
| / | Manual Packaging (Before) | Model 300-SS (After) |
|---|---|---|
| Output | 80–100 bags/day | 20–45 bags/minute |
| Daily Capacity (8-hour shift) | 80–100 bags | Up to 9,600–21,600 bags |
- Packaging speed increased dramatically, turning a full day’s manual output into just a few minutes of machine run time
- Labor costs significantly reduced — one machine now replaces the output of an entire manual packaging team
- Delivery delays eliminated — production capacity now far exceeds order demand, giving the customer room to grow
- Consistent seal quality across all three product sizes, reducing waste from inconsistent manual sealing
Customer Feedback
“We are very satisfied with the actual running performance of this machine.”
Why This Matters for Other Buyers
This incense packaging automation case study highlights a common challenge for growing manufacturers: manual packaging can only scale so far.
For stick-shaped products in particular — where consistent sizing and sealing quality matter — an automatic incense packaging machine like the Model 300-SS offers a practical, cost-effective upgrade path without requiring a large factory footprint.
