Città di Castello - CMC srl release the next phase of their expanding product range of on demand box making and packing equipment for e-commerce fulfilment.

CMC CartonPack was officially unveiled during their annual open house in Città di Castello, Italy on May 11^th, where more than 100 among retailers, 3PL, POD companies and partners joined to witness this unique system delivering the  very first  box on demand.

This machine enhances CMC on demand packaging machine series, commenced in 2013 with  CMC Cartonwrap now with many successful installations worldwide.

The CMC CartonPack is producing and packing single and multiple items into the one box produced for that order.  Core of the system is the Vary-Tote, a CMC designed and patented transport tote that features two inner adjustable guides which are used to compact the picked items to the minimum possible volume. The Vary Totes move on a carousel which brings full totes to the machine induct section and once empty conveys the totes to the picking area for refilling. Thanks to the unique VaryTote design, the operator can easily and quickly adapt the inner guides  to each individual consignment. The VaryTote is the perfect solution to collect and pack multiple regular or irregular shaped items within a size range. A 3D Scanner placed in the CMC VaryTote induct area reads the 3 dimensions of the order set by the adjustable guides. Boxes will be formed based on those dimensions and then filled and labelled for delivery automatically.

The benefits of this equipment are numerous and unique:

• Complete automation from picking to consolidation area
• Correct size box for each order, single and multi line.
• Reduced shipping volumes.
• Labour savings
• No need for additional expensive void fill.
• No need to warehouse many different sizes of premade boxes.
• Increased packaging  productivity.
• Integrated CMC Packvertizing patented technology to personalise with full colour printing each box with unique branding and targeted marketing messages.

CMC CartonPack has already been sold to two European e-commerce companies and will be deployed to support the upcoming  Christmas peak.

CMC will continue to expand their product portfolio for e-fulfilment and anticipated additional product launches by the end of 2017.

They will showcase their Cartonpack machine during the next Open Day in their Italy headquarters on July 20, 2017.
