Packsize Partners With Swisslog on Fulfillment
The partnership pairs Packsize's right-sized packaging with Swisslog's warehouse automation and robotics to build end-to-end fulfillment systems.
Updated on Nov. 4, 2026 in Robotics
Packsize has partnered with Swisslog Logistics, combining Swisslog's warehouse automation, robotics, and system design expertise with Packsize's right-sized packaging technology. The companies will help customers design, sequence, and implement end-to-end fulfillment systems.
Why it matters
The partnership integrates packaging into the flow of goods within fulfillment operations rather than treating it as a separate step. It offers customers a single integrator covering packaging, storage, retrieval, and orchestration.
The partnership is described as a source of projected reductions in touches and waste and improved throughput, but the announcement provides no quantified figures for these gains. Swisslog, part of the KUKA Group, reports more than 15,000 employees worldwide, and the two firms have already completed several projects together.

Roadmap
The partnership extends Packsize's Right-sized Packaging on Demand, first introduced in 2002, into automated warehouse operations. It reflects a broader move in logistics toward integrating packaging with robotics and fulfillment software rather than treating them as separate functions.
For businesses shipping goods, integrated packaging and automation could mean fewer handling steps and less material waste in fulfillment operations. The partnership's benefits are projected rather than quantified, so customers will need to evaluate actual results as implementations roll out.
The takeaway
Integrated fulfillment, where packaging and automation are designed together, is a direction logistics operators may weigh when reviewing warehouse upgrades. Companies considering such changes can assess how packaging choices affect downstream handling and throughput.
