IN Brief:
- Packsize’s X6 has won the Intralogistics Category at the SITL Innovation Awards.
- The system produces right-size boxes on demand at high throughput.
- Packaging automation remains closely tied to both efficiency and corrugated reduction targets.
Packsize has won the Intralogistics Category at the SITL Innovation Awards for its X6 automated right-size boxing system.
The X6 is designed for high-throughput logistics and ecommerce operations, producing made-to-size corrugated boxes and trays on demand rather than relying on a fixed range of pre-erected formats. Packsize says the machine can output up to 1,300 boxes and trays an hour, giving larger fulfilment sites a route to combine packaging speed with closer control over void space and material use.
The system was launched in 2025 and is aimed at operations where packaging is no longer a secondary end-of-line task but a key point of cost, labour, and transport efficiency. Right-size packaging reduces the amount of corrugated consumed per order and can also improve trailer and parcel density by cutting empty space, which is why the category has become more important in both warehouse automation and sustainability planning.
Recognition at SITL adds weight to that position. Packaging machinery has often sat slightly outside the main automation narrative, but for large fulfilment centres it now plays a more central operational role, linking order profile, machine throughput, labour deployment, transport efficiency, and material consumption in one workflow.
