Increase Operational Efficiency

One of the biggest challenges many 3PLs face is space. When space is limited, it can severely impact your ability to bring in new customers and manage seasonal fluctuations. Automated Packaging solutions optimise warehouse space while streamlining the packaging process to increase efficiency. There are a few reasons why this works:

Eliminate box inventory →

Free up warehouse space by creating the boxes you need on demand. Only use the boxes you need, when you need them.

Reduce Labour

Less workers are needed to operate a Packsize machine, making movement and storage smaller factors when considering space optimization.

Increase throughput →

Automation drastically increases throughput, allowing products to move through the warehouse and onto the shipping truck within minutes of an order being placed.

Eco-friendly packaging →

Environmental awareness is becoming more important: End customers are sensitive to packaging waste. At Packsize, every order gets the right-sized box.

How right-sized packaging on demand works

We know that no two warehouses are exactly the same. That’s why our automated box-making machine systems can be customised to fit any workflow.

Once your product dimensions are entered into the machine (either through a barcode scan, manual scan, or your WMS), our corrugated z-Fold® is fed into the machine and cut into a right-sized box in seconds. These multi-patented, automated On Demand Packaging® machines are equipped for large box production environments across a wide variety of industries.

Right-sized packaging benefits you, your customer, and the planet

Reduce waste and lower your carbon footprint

By creating a right-sized box for every order, you only use the amount of corrugated you need, when you need it. Right-sizing also reduces or eliminates the need for plastic void fillers like bubble wrap or packing peanuts.

Smaller boxes also take up less space on trucks, meaning you can fit MORE products on a single shipment. This significantly cuts down on carbon emissions, while saving you money on DIM weight and shipping costs.

Save money with on demand packaging

Packsize solutions cut down on costs in several ways. Our corrugated z-Fold is more affordable than stock boxes and you get more out of it by only paying for what you use. And since your boxes are right-sized, you aren’t wasting excess space, which minimises damages and eliminates excess void filler.

Right-sizing also cuts down on delivering and DIM weight charges by up to 33%. Beyond that, you’re able to cut down on labour costs and increase throughput, allowing more orders to get out the door, faster. For 3PLs, this means you can move more products for your clients and take on a higher workload.

With standard boxes, you need a lot of filling material - otherwise, the ordered items are thrown around and possibly get damaged. On-Demand Packaging is a win-win situation for us - it saves shipping and material costs and protects the environment.

From the beginning, when we first met the Packsize team, we were very impressed with the overall mission and purpose of the team. We saw how those core values really materialise themselves from the top, all the way through the organisation. As we started to look through the solutions [Packsize] offers, they were a perfect fit for what we were looking for, and then as we've continued the journey of starting, not just this project, but multiple projects, it's been a great experience working with the team end-to-end.

I was very happy that I was delivered a seamless operation that brought this new technology together, and there's a great team working behind the scenes to do that. And I think the expertise that both Packsize and OIA brought, allowed us to challenge ourselves on what we were doing and what our processes were.
