Packsize and Swisslog have entered into a strategic partnership to combine automated, right-sized packaging technology with warehouse automation, robotics and logistics system design.
Announced on 4 November 2026, the collaboration aims to help businesses develop more integrated fulfilment operations by connecting packaging processes with storage, retrieval, sequencing and shipment activities.
The partnership brings together Packsize’s on-demand packaging automation expertise and Swisslog’s capabilities in warehouse automation and robotic logistics solutions. The companies intend to help customers reduce manual handling, minimise packaging waste and improve operational throughput.
Integrating Packaging into Automated Warehouse Operations
The collaboration focuses on incorporating right-sized packaging into warehouse automation systems from the initial design stage.
By aligning packaging with the movement of goods through fulfilment facilities, businesses can coordinate storage, retrieval, packaging and dispatch more effectively.
Packsize’s technology produces packaging tailored to the dimensions of individual products, helping reduce unnecessary packaging material and improve the use of space during transportation.
Swisslog contributes its expertise in automated warehouse systems, robotics and logistics integration, supporting the development of connected fulfilment operations.
Paul Roy, Senior Vice President of Global Partnerships and Business Development at Packsize, said the partnership would help customers integrate packaging into the wider flow of goods, rather than treating it as a separate operational process.
Improving Efficiency and Fulfilment Performance
As warehouse operations become increasingly automated, integrating packaging technology into broader logistics systems is becoming an important consideration for businesses seeking to improve efficiency and scalability.
Bill Stenger, Senior Vice President of Sales at Swisslog, said packaging automation had become increasingly important in holistic warehouse automation design.
He added that the partnership would provide customers with a more unified approach to fulfilment, connecting processes from storage through to shipment.
The integrated approach is intended to reduce unnecessary handling, eliminate material waste and improve the coordination of warehouse activities.
Building on Existing Global Projects
Packsize and Swisslog have already worked together on multiple projects globally, demonstrating the potential benefits of integrating right-sized packaging into automated fulfilment systems.
The new partnership builds on this experience, with both companies seeking to bring packaging, storage, retrieval and orchestration together within a unified fulfilment strategy.
The collaboration reflects a wider shift towards intelligent intralogistics systems, where automation technologies are designed to work together across the supply chain.
As businesses face increasing pressure to improve productivity, manage operating costs and adopt more sustainable packaging practices, integrated warehouse automation could play an important role in strengthening fulfilment performance.
