Cartonization is a process used by manufacturers to determine the optimal size and number of cartons required to pack a specific set of items or products. The goal of cartonization is to minimize shipping costs by ensuring that items are packed in the most efficient way possible, while also reducing the risk of damage during transit. Meanwhile, the process of packing products into carton box is called cartonizing
The main problem of cartonizing is labour intensive especially for fast moving consumer group (FMCG) industry. It’d take 3 to 10 persons per production line to work on this process.
For e-commercial warehouses, they are handling hundreds of thousands SKUs with various shapes and sizes products. This made implementing automation on cartonizing process extremely difficult and pricey. However for manufacturers, they have a lot less SKUs but produce goods in large quantity. This charatistic is making automating the process of cartonizing in manufacturing industry becoming feasible and easier to implement.
