Visy, an Australian-based sustainable packaging solutions company, has acquired an Australia and New Zealand (ANZ) business, providing it with right-sized boxes on demand.
Operating under ‘Packsize enabled by Visy’, the acquisition gives Visy exclusive distribution rights for Packsize’s technology and solutions.
Packsize manufactures demand packaging combining precise right-sizing technology, equipment, accessories, and services to produce and package goods where a customer needs it. This innovation reduces freight costs, better protects the product and reduces waste.
“We are excited to bring Packsize technology to our customers in Australia and New Zealand,” says Rhys Jacob, General Manager for Visy Automation.
“By integrating Packsize with our proven end-to-end systems and material handling equipment, we will deliver real value and efficiency to customers.”
Through an efficient made-to-order process flow customer designed by system engineers, Packsize technologies optimise order size, material requirements, and packaging throughput.
Packsize technologies enhance Visy’s existing offering to customers, reinforcing Visy’s commitment to providing comprehensive services and products.
The team of more than 50 people support customers with their expertise across the ANZ region. Visy partners with customers to optimise packaging and supply chains and implement bespoke end-to-end automation and product identification systems.
The revolutionary Packsize X5 machine is one of the standout technologies on show in Visy’s new Sydney showroom.
The X5 fully automated, ‘Right-sized Packaging on Demand’ system efficiently produces ready-to-pack, right-sized erected, and labelled boxes.
Understanding the significance of customisation in today’s business environment, Visy Automation offers solutions that optimise operations and integrate with customers’ broader packaging supply chain.
Taking advantage of this customisation is a furniture retailer in Australia, that transformed its supply chain with Packsize’s on-demand packaging technology. The retailer replaced generic pre-made boxes with personalised packaging and eliminated plastic void fill.
As a result, the retailer achieved remarkable efficiently gains, including monthly savings of up to $100,000, and almost doubled operator productivity, achieving up to 30 parcels per person per hour.
