Packsize has released the X7 packaging machine

The automated custom box-making system represents a significant investment by Packsize in machine learning, packaging process automation, corrugated infrastructure and testing, and business intelligence. The automated system is the second in the company’s X Series line of automated, on demand packaging technology solutions.

The X7 is said to make, pack, and ship a right-sized box in three seconds, producing 1,200 to 2,400 ready-to-ship boxes an hour for products of varying types and sizes.

“The X7 is unrivalled when it comes to corrugated material yields and packaging speeds of up to 2,400 boxes an hour per packaging cell, based on its configuration and layout,” said Packsize GM Brandon Brooks. “This advanced system positions well below the variable costs associated with many bagging solutions, and without losing the shipping protection of a right-sized corrugated box.”

The X7 incorporates a top-down glue application, a reduction of corrugated cutting positions, reduced dust and trim, and a wide conveyance system, as well as several design approaches intended to boost speed and reliability.

Benefitting packaging optimisation and production requirements for customers, the Packsize software platform, PackNet, provides distribution and manufacturing businesses with a flexible, scalable architecture and an intuitive interface. PackNet helps operators manage their corrugated yield, complex workflows, warehouse management and ordering systems, business intelligence, and the integration of other software and hardware.

Backed by a worldwide support organisation of expert engineers and technicians, Packsize can assist every X7 engagement at the local level and provides a full portfolio of packaging products and services for every unique packaging environment. Delivering the most needed functions to make, pack, and ship a right-sized box in three seconds, the X7 is available in multiple configurations designed to produce ready-to-ship boxes completely automatically in varying packaging types and sizes.
