“Walmart Inc. said it has installed machines that churn out custom boxes at 12 of its fulfillment centers, and plans to add the technology to more facilities. The retailer said it has been able to cut down the amount of cardboard and filler material it uses per order by making individual boxes. Walmart is using machines from packaging-technology company Packsize International Inc. that take dimensions needed to ship an item, then cut, crease and glue corrugated cardboard to make custom boxes. The machines then label and seal the packages. Salt Lake City-based Packsize said its machines can make as many as 600 boxes per hour. “
