About Packsize

Packsize is a leading technology automation company that enables more efficient and sustainable packaging process flows from packing to unboxing. We’re propelling our customers and the industry forward, always looking to innovate and improve. Because, to us, packaging is about much more than a box, it’s about delivering what’s right, for our customers, for their customers and our planet.

We also investigate new technologies and how we will leverage them to solve problems in new and better ways including IoT, cloud, and stream analytics.
