According to Jeff Chalovich, chief commercial offer and president of Corrugated Packaging, one of the clear stars of the WestRock lineup at PACK EXPO Las Vegas was a patent-pending (no close-up photography) package rightsizing system taking designed for fulfillment centers, DCs, and similar e-comm-oriented channels. Pak On Demand’s Pouch System 3D scans products on a conveyor, creates a custom, right-sized pouch on demand, and seals the package for shipment. The result is a rigid, highly protective pouch that is completely curbside recyclable. In addition to eliminating unnecessary void fill and shipping charges, it also reduces labor costs through automating previous manual operations.
