Abstract

Methods, computer-readable media, and systems described herein relate to producing on-demand packaging. For example, packaging can be automatically produced on-demand and be sized and configured for use with a customized set of items. In one aspect, a request for multiple items is received and a packaging customization engine accesses an information store that includes information about each of the requested items. The information may include dimensional information about the three-dimensional size of the items. The packaging customization engine may use the dimensional information to simulate a model arrangement of all of the requested items, and then calculate the dimensions of a box or other package that can provide a precise fit for the items when physically arranged consistent with the model arrangement.

Description

[0001] related application [0002] This application claims priority to U.S. Provisional Patent No. 61 / 370,402, filed August 3, 2010, entitled "CREATING ON-DEMAND PACKAGING BASED ON STORED ATTRIBUTE DATA" , which application is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety. Background technique [0003] With the increasing availability of goods, products, and other items not only locally but through global markets, the need to accurately package these supplies for shipping and delivery has never been more important. Fortunately, packaging systems are now available that can be used to produce virtually any type of packaging. [0004] Perhaps the single biggest factor in producing product packaging is designing the package to fit the product it contains as precisely as possible. With a more precise fit, not only are contained items or products less likely to be damaged, but the need for inner packaging is also reduced and potentially eliminated. Specifically, when packagin...
