Packsize International

What Packsize International does

Packsize International, founded in 2002 and headquartered in Salt Lake City, Utah, designs and manufactures on-demand, right-sized packaging automation systems for global enterprise customers. Its core technology produces custom-sized corrugated boxes at the point of fulfillment by integrating 3D scanning, automated cutting, creasing, gluing, and labeling with the proprietary Z-Fold fanfold consumable. The product portfolio is organized into three tiers: Ready to Form (iQ Series, EM7) for flat box blanks, Ready to Box (X4, X5, X5 Nozomi with EFI digital printing, X6) for erected right-sized boxes, and Ready to Ship (CVP Impack, CVP Everest, PaperPro X, X7) for end-to-end automated packing, sealing, and labeling. The flagship X6 produces up to 1,300-1,500 boxes per hour and integrates with warehouse automation including AMR, AGV, and ASRS systems. All machines are orchestrated through the PackNet software platform.

Packsize generates revenue through a combination of capital equipment sales (X-series, CVP series, EM7, iQ machines), recurring consumables (Z-Fold corrugated fanfold, void fill, tape, glue, labels, ink, OEM parts), and PackNet software platform fees, supplemented by service and support. The company employs 251-500 staff and sells primarily through dedicated regional enterprise field sales across North America and Europe (DACH, Nordics, France & Italy, UK, Central Eastern Europe, Netherlands, Spain & Portugal), supplemented by system integrator partnerships (Bastian Solutions) and reseller agreements (Veritiv). Customer verticals include e-commerce and retail, automotive, food and beverage, health and beauty, consumer electronics, industrial manufacturing, apparel, and 3PL providers, with named enterprise customers including Crutchfield, mymuesli, Mack, Smyths, Boots, WebstaurantStore.com, Metro, SportOkay.com, PHAR, ECS Tuning, and DecoPac.

Core offering

Packsize designs, manufactures, and sells automated Right-sized Packaging on Demand systems that produce custom-sized corrugated boxes from Z-Fold fanfold material, integrating 3D scanning with automated cutting, creasing, gluing, erecting, and labeling. The portfolio spans semi-automated to fully automated machines (X4, X5, X5 Nozomi, X6, X7, EM7, iQ Series, CVP Impack, CVP Everest, PaperPro X), the PackNet software platform, and recurring Z-Fold consumables. The X6 is positioned as the highest-throughput erected box-making machine on the market at up to 1,300 boxes per hour, and the X5 Nozomi adds full-color digital printing.

Product overview

Packsize International offers a modular Right-sized Packaging on Demand system architecture organized into three integrated product lines: Ready to Form (iQ Series, EM7), Ready to Box (X4, X5, X5 Nozomi with digital printing), and Ready to Ship (CVP Impack, CVP Everest, PaperPro X, X7). The core technology produces custom-sized corrugated boxes on demand, eliminating box inventory and reducing void fill. The X6 is positioned as the fastest on-demand machine (up to 1,300 boxes/hour). The X5 Nozomi adds full-color digital printing capability (up to 570 boxes/hour). The X7 and CVP systems add automated packing, sealing, and labeling. All machines are managed through the PackNet Software Platform. The Z-Fold corrugated fanfold is the primary consumable input. The company emphasizes sustainability benefits: up to 30% savings in material usage, 40% package size reduction, and 80% less void fill on average.
