New Automated 3D Dimensioning System for On Demand Packaging

The new Scan2Pack from Packsize uses a customizable laser light curtain to scan products, gathering dimensional data to create right-sized shipping cases on its converting machines.

Packsize International LLC’s line of On Demand Packaging® box-converting machines and accessories have proven to be a sustainable and cost-effective way to optimize e-commerce shipping cases. According to the company, rightsizing packaging using its solution results in an average savings of 20% to 30% on packaging-related costs, such as shipping, materials, and DIM weight charges.

Key to the success of the system, however, is having accurate dimensional data of those products to be packed. In Packsize’s PACK EXPO Connects demo, “Capturing Product Dimensions to Create a Right-sized Box,” the company discussed the range of manual, semi-automatic, and fully automatic tools it offers to customers needing to capture dimensional data to create the best box style and package for each shipment.

In a pre-show interview, Cameron Stout, Director of Sales, Midwest for Packsize, shared details on one of the company’s newest products, the Scan2Pack™ customizable, 3D dimensioning system, which he championed internally in his former position of Director of the company’s Advanced Products Group.

As Stout explained, not having the need previously for accurate product dimensions, many companies lack this data. “So it’s always been a hurdle for us implementing On-Demand Packaging, because if you don’t have dimensional data or if you don’t have a time-efficient pathway of getting that information to the machine, then what’s the point of doing on-demand packaging, right?”

Among the range of solutions offered by Packsize for capturing the data are static dimensioning systems for low-throughput applications with a certain size requirement all the way up to in-motion systems designed for high-throughput, high SKU-variability applications. For the in-motion systems, the price tag, ranging from $45,000 to $60,000, is cost-prohibitive to those companies just getting into e-commerce.
