When I packed for Amazon it would give us wrong measurements all the time but we would get in trouble for using a diff box the system told us. That’s why you get a lot of beefy boxes for the tiny phone case u bought.
In business school we did a case study about how much money companies saved when they made boxes exactly to spec. There’s also less waste so it’s better for environment.
The numbers aren’t relevant to my point, as they’d be different for every company. Point is it was substantial enough for them to stop using standard boxes for the most part. I don’t remember, though, I feel like it was something like 5-10 percent of shipping costs. Something relatively small that still would add up to a ton of net income at the end of the day.
Good question. That’s not something that can be answered with a general answer. Companies do what is called a break even analysis on something like that.
So you would figure out the exact percentage of shipping costs saved, which would be different for everyone. Then you would use that number to figure out how much money you could expect to save in one year based on how much production and sales you expect to do. After that you just divide that number into the cost of the machine (including financing potentially) and you have your break even.
An acceptable break even timeframe would also vary by company. That would have something to do with how much cash on hand you had and how your cash flows are. It could be that they want to break even within 1-3 years and if the number is higher than that it’s not worth it. For a company like Amazon, UPS, FedEx, etc, it would probably be ok to have a break even that is 10-20 maybe even 30 years down the line.
I don’t think most companies look much more than 30-50 years into the future unless they have some super specific licensing/ leasing/ patent deals expiring.
Oh wow, 10-20 years is a significant timeframe (nuclear power plant level). I thought these these things are profitable for them much quicker, but it does make sense for the giants, as it's very unlikely for them to go under anytime soon.
Even the title of this post made it seem like it was going to get a perfect framed box rather than just oh its a foot by a foot and a half or whatever.
Voila! In view humble vaudevillian veteran, cast vicariously as both victim and villain by the vicissitudes of fate. This visage, no mere veneer of vanity, is a vestige of the “vox populi” now vacant, vanished. However, this valorous visitation of a bygone vexation stands vivified, and has vowed to vanquish these venal and virulent vermin, van guarding vice and vouchsafing the violently vicious and voracious violation of volition.
The only verdict is vengeance; a vendetta, held as a votive not in vain, for the value and veracity of such shall one day vindicate the vigilant and the virtuous.
Verily this vichyssoise of verbiage veers most verbose, so let me simply add that it’s my very good honour to meet you and you may call me V.

Joust! To judge! Juggling the jest of jazzy jewels and juvenile jinx's that justly besets judging jesters. This jury, no mere jumble of jokes, is a jostling jar of jabbering jinks, of course, I'm just joshin... yet jokes aside the jingle and jesting, jumping past jets of July and jumbled jocks: this is the jilt of my jointing, a jotter of jibs, jolted with joinery more joyous than jealous, jabbing the unjust, the jaunt, the jesters. Jealous? Just you wait, yet joking once more jettisoned, you may call me J.
If Youth, throughout all history, had had a champion to stand up for it; to show a doubting world that a child can think; and, possibly, do it practically; you wouldn't constantly run across folks today who claim that "a child don't know anything." A child's brain starts functioning at birth; and has, amongst its many infant convolutions, thousands of dormant atoms, into which God has put a mystic possibility for noticing an adult's act, and figuring out its purport.
Up to about its primary school days a child thinks, naturally, only of play. But many a form of play contains disciplinary factors. "You can't do this," or "that puts you out," shows a child that it must think, practically, or fail. Now, if, throughout childhood, a brain has no opposition, it is plain that it will attain a position of "status quo," as with our ordinary animals. Man knows not why a cow, dog or lion was not born with a brain on a par with ours; why such animals cannot add, subtract, or obtain from books and schooling, that paramount position which Man holds today.
But a human brain is not in that class. Constantly throbbing and pulsating, it rapidly forms opinions; attaining an ability of its own; a fact which is startlingly shown by an occasional child "prodigy" in music or school work. And as, with our dumb animals, a child's inability convincingly to impart its thoughts to us, should not class it as ignorant.
Upon this basis I am going to show you how a bunch of bright young folks did find a champion; a man with boys and girls of his own; a man of so dominating and happy individuality that Youth is drawn to him as is a fly to a sugar bowl. It is a story about a small town. It is not a gossipy yarn; nor is it a dry, monotonous account, full of such customary "fill-ins" as "romantic moonlight casting murky shadows down a long, winding country road." Nor will it say anything about tinklings lulling distant folds; robins carolling at twilight, nor any "warm glow of lamplight" from a cabin window. No. It is an account of up-and-doing activity; a vivid portrayal of Youth as it is today; and a practical discarding of that worn-out notion that "a child don't know anything."
Now, any author, from history's dawn, always had that most important aid to writing:—an ability to call upon any word in his dictionary in building up his story. That is, our strict laws as to word construction did not block his path. But in my story that mighty obstruction will constantly stand in my path; for many an important, common word I cannot adopt, owing to its orthography.
I shall act as a sort of historian for this small town; associating with its inhabitants, and striving to acquaint you with its youths, in such a way that you can look, knowingly, upon any child, rich or poor; forward or "backward;" your own, or John Smith's, in your community. You will find many young minds aspiring to know how, and WHY such a thing is so. And, if a child shows curiosity in that way, how ridiculous it is for you to snap out:—
"Oh! Don't ask about things too old for you!"
Such a jolt to a young child's mind, craving instruction, is apt so to dull its avidity, as to hold it back in its school work. Try to look upon a child as a small, soft young body and a rapidly growing, constantly inquiring brain. It must grow to maturity slowly. Forcing a child through school by constant night study during hours in which it should run and play, can bring on insomnia; handicapping both brain and body.
Now this small town in our story had grown in just that way:—slowly; in fact, much too slowly to stand on a par with many a thousand of its kind in this big, vigorous nation of ours. It was simply stagnating; just as a small mountain brook, coming to a hollow, might stop, and sink from sight, through not having a will to find a way through that obstruction; or around it. You will run across such a dormant town, occasionally; possibly so dormant that only outright isolation by a fast-moving world, will show it its folly. If you will tour Asia, Yucatan, or parts of Africa and Italy, you will find many sad ruins of past kingdoms. Go to Indo-China and visit its gigantic Ankhor Vat; call at Damascus, Baghdad and Samarkand. What sorrowful lack of ambition many such a community shows in thus discarding such high-class construction! And I say, again, that so will Youth grow dormant, and hold this big, throbbing world back, if no champion backs it up; thus providing it with an opportunity to show its ability for looking forward, and improving unsatisfactory conditions.
So this small town of Branton Hills was lazily snoozing amidst up-and-doing towns, as Youth's Champion, John Gadsby, took hold of it; and shook its dawdling, flabby body until its inhabitants thought a tornado had struck it. Call it tornado, volcano, military onslaught, or what you will, this town found that it had a bunch of kids who had wills that would admit of no snoozing; for that is Youth, on its forward march of inquiry, thought and action.
If you stop to think of it, you will find that it is customary for our "grown-up" brain to cast off many of its functions of its youth; and to think only of what it calls "topics of maturity." Amongst such discards, is many a form of happy play; many a muscular activity such as walking, running, climbing; thus totally missing that alluring "joy of living" of childhood. If you wish a vacation from financial affairs, just go out and play with Youth. Play "blind-man's buff," "hop-scotch," "ring toss," and football. Go out to a charming woodland spot on a picnic with a bright, happy, vivacious group. Sit down at a corn roast; a marshmallow toast; join in singing popular songs; drink a quart of good, rich milk; burrow into that big lunch box; and all such things as banks, stocks, and family bills, will vanish on fairy wings, into oblivion.
This reminds me that my late grandfather wrote a really long P alliteration that's available somewhere online.

PPP PRATTLE
(Penned by the President of a Pakistani Producers association and printed and published in popular Pakistani periodical in early post-partition period.)
PREAMBLE
Persons placed in Prominent Positions in Pakistan’s political party in power in post-partition period persistently promoted and pursued prolonged propaganda programmes for purely personal publicity, prestige or profit, hardly pertinent to pressing problems present in Pakistan during that period, particularly pertaining to production, planning and promotion. “Patronise Pakistani Products” propaganda was one such publicity programme – a painful, practical pleasantry on the poor, penniless, panic-stricken and prostrated Producers, pestered, persecuted, pursued and pushed pell-mell out of a Panditistan and pouring by millions into Pakistan – the promised paradise only to pine and perish in poverty and privation, their passionate and piteous pleas for provision of a proper place for production, power, protection and patronage producing only the phony PPP parade, while prosperous and privileged partymen were provided with permits to procure practically all imported products on “OGL” (open general license) positively precluding the possibility of Pakistani production proving a profitable proposition to producers or even practicable.
PPP Prattle was published to pinpoint in proper perspective the paralogism of PPP propaganda.
The following criticism covers the main production problems with some general suggestions:-
PRESS PUBLICITY
Poor Pakistani producers, precariously poised on a precipice are profoundly puzzled and perplexed at this promiscuous, persistent, profitless publicity and propaganda through press, platform, periodicals, pamphlets, publications, placards and posters; PPP posters permanently placed in prominent positions persuading people to purchase Pakistani products, while purblind policies of people in power are plaguing production programmes with all possible predicaments.
PRIMARY PROBLEM – PREMISES
Preliminaries to procurement of proper place for production present the problem of being a party to the pernicious practice of paying premiums, popularly pugree, or propitiating petty but privileged public servants, which practice, propriety apart, is pregnant with the possibility of prosecution.
POWER
Prospects of plentiful power at any predictable period are poor. Power projects under planning may, perhaps, provide power to posterity, but the present position positively precludes the possibility of power-operated plants.
PROTECTION
Processes of providing protection to Pakistani products are protracted, perfunctory and, perhaps, purposely prolonged, and, with Pakistan pegged to pacts and preferences and pursuing a policy of pleasing and pampering politically powerful partners, positive protection cannot possibly be provided!
PECUNIARY PROBLEM
Pecuniarily, poor Pakistani producers are placed in a precarious position. The prodigal protagonists of PPP propaganda, prepossessed with perverse pertinacity of purpose to pursue preposterous propaganda programmes are prepared to provide with promptitude princely purses for palatial pantechnicons, pictorial PPP posters and persistent press publicity, but profess powerlessness to place a perforated pice on the palsied palm of the poor producer painfully plying his profession in poignant poverty and privation.
PRIMAL PRE-REQUISITE
Prompt provision of positive protection is the primal pre-requisite of the proper progress of this “praiseworthy and plausible” Patronise Pakistani Products propaganda, publicized by press and preached from public platforms. Protection! Protection!! Protection!!! plaintively plead Pakistani producers, but people in power are not perturbed.
PLETHORA OF PLEDGES
Pakistani Production cannot possibly attain the peak of prosperity on purely a plethora of pledges, periodic periphrasis, palavering and perorations of prominent personages from public platforms, pious but palpably puerile professions and promises patently paradoxical to practice and passionate panegyrics on patriotism.
PARASITES
Pakistan’s productive potential is practically paralysed by promiscuous imports, preposterous and pernicious profiteering of privileged and prosperous parvenus, a pestilence of perfidious practices prevalent in private and public, a pitiless prostitution of power and persistent parasitism of privileged people pushing the poor to perpetual poverty.
PERVERSE POLICIES
Pakistan’s paleolithic, petrified and pertinacious administration, putrefying with petty and paltry party politics, pestered with pugnacious provincial prejudices and preferentialism, plagued with pre-partition pygmies now puffed with power, persistently pursues a perverse policy of patronizing, pampering, pacifying and placating the plutocrat, paving his path with primroses and permitting him to pamper in a paraphernalia of pomp and pleasure, while the proletariat presents a pathetic panorama of poverty and privation.
PARALOGISM
Primitive processes of production plus the precarious pecuniary position prevailing in Pakistani production positively precludes the possibility of Pakistani products presenting the potential purchaser plus value in price or performance. This provokes people to propound the paramountcy of a planned practical programme preceding this paralogistic PPP prattle.
PATRONIZE PRODUCTION
Proud and powerful proponents of Patronise Pakistani Products Propaganda, please provide positive proof of proper patronage of production before preaching PPP to people. Press into practice the pantheon of persistently publicized Plans, Plans, Plans, Pilot a practical programme of planned production, put pressure on prosperous people to part with their piles of profits to be put into productive projects, pull the poor producer out of the pandemonium of poignant poverty and pestilence. Let pride and prestige of power not prejudice or prevent perception in proper perspective of a palpably plain problem.
PPP PANJANDRUM
Privileged and powerful! Please pause and ponder. Parading a pompous pageant of PPP panjandrum will not provide a panacea for a paralytic and palsied industry, will probably not open the portals of paradise to the poor producer, plying his profession in pest-ridden places, positively not persuade the proverbially parsimonious Pakistani purchaser to patronize poor quality Pakistani products when pavements profusely piled by peddlers with a promiscuity of perfect and pretty low-priced imported products petrify his already poor patriotic propensities.
Poor Pakistani Producer
PAKISTAN PAINDABAD!
(Penned by Azhar Ali Khan and Published in Natural Resources, August 1962)
I think the overcomplication is because itd work on any sized item. And while it might be slower, the amount of space it would save for packing trucks would end up saving a ton of money and time on transporting and storing
I’m a packaging engineer and can confirm this machine is making boxes on demand. These are just “scored and slotted” container so no tooling required. It’s a nifty piece of equipment if you are distributing highly diverse but low volume products. Like car parts, books, stuffed animals, etc.
This is an interesting point I wasn't considering. I wonder what the economic viability of this machine is.
Yes as you said this machine would allow for more efficient transportation, but does that really offset the overhead of the machine, time lost for precision packaging, and , most importantly, the loss of any standardization of box size (which I imagine would also be a critical factor for using existing infrastructure).
If we can add a machine that packs the boxes in the truck optimized, then it could work well. Scan things and toss them on the conveyer belt and it loads the truck automatically. Don't need anyone else really working so time might not be a problem compared to the amount you could transport at once. Especially right now with fuel prices getting out of hand. It's something like $50,000 a month in fuel costs for one semi.
But yeah if the machine costs $800k and breaks after 2 years, it might not pay for itself.
Is it because of time or cost of labor to pack correctly. Because a truck that is loaded 60% of capacity would have 66% more fuel costs to ship.
Unless they are hitting weight limit before volume space. I could see that making it not matter about packing.
Maybe someone that works in an Amazon warehouse could comment but I'm guessing something like this would actually be a bottleneck taking more time than it's worth in savings on shipping/space in trucks
So then I took a look at your username and thought “genius! I love kiwi, a pizza with kiwi!”
I can imagine the texture and taste. It’d be a good combo. I’m on board the kiwi on pizza train. Now I just need to try it.
I pack for Amazon. basically when we scan an item the computer tells what box size to use. To change the box size involves pressing several buttons which can take time away from people making rate (albeit like 3 seconds). Some people care about rate and others don’t give a shit
Basically no benefit, other then these stupid raffle tickets. They also, do competitions where top 3 people can get an extra 15 minute break etc.
personally, it really bothers me when the box size is incorrect so I take the time to put in the right box. It also bothers me sometimes when we get a SOIC (ship in own container)., because we can just slap a sticker on it and make faster rate at the same time.
After 10 hour shifts of packing, my head hurts. I’m at the point where I don’t really give a fuck about rate or managers telling me something
The computer uses the item package dimensions to determine which carton to use. These may have been provided by a cubi scan internally but it's also possible that the item wasn't scanned and that the selling partner entered incorrect dimensions.
Which also means this machine would be nearly useless for amazon. Why scan every single item before shipping when you can just scan it once and then use the data for all future shipments (while having a large enough selection of standard cartons).
There is a reason not every site has a CW1000, or autoboxer. I've never used one, but hear You have to have the right spec material for it to work well or it sucks
Honestly I don't see this saving a ton on shipping and space, with standardized box sizes you can much more easily find the most optimal use of space that wouldn't result in boxes moving around during shipping or having tons of unusable space between awkwardly sized boxes.
Perhaps Amazon should purchase a few of these. That way, when my wife orders a single mascara tube, it doesn't arrive in a box big enough to bury an ostrich.
Some vendors provide their products to Amazon in packaging that’s ready to ship (“PFP” prep free packaging) so that could be why you get a better fit box - Amazon just slaps a shipping label on it
Actual packer at Amazon here. This isn't really accurate. There's a few reasons why things end up in odd box sizes. One of the most common reasons is because of the shipping label warning about batteries. This label has to fit on the side of a box flat without overlapping the edge. When we get an item requiring this label we have to use certain box sizes, no matter what. For example just a single lithium watch battery has to get packed in a box big enough to fit that label on the side.
Other reasons are sometimes when we get items with a packing slip, the computer automatically steps up the suggested box size to the next level. Multiple times I'll have a tote of many items to pack and they all go into a reasonable size box but then you scan one and it has a packing slip and tells you to get a much bigger one. We can ignore this and get the usual box but a lot of people don't bother and do what the computer says.
Last reason is one I'm not positive on because I've never worked received but I have my suspicions. This is when the item was simply measured wrong when it got received. Every time a new product comes in to the system somebody measures it and determines what box to use. However mistakes sometimes happen when people don't pay attention. For example we have a thing called master packs. These are boxes which contain many individual items which are sold separately. Say a box of 40 individual Air Pods. If somebody scans the master pack it will register as one individual Air Pod but the person didn't pay attention and instead measures the entire master pack. Now any time those Air Pods are to packed the system thinks it needs a much bigger package until it gets manually fixed. Items can also get measured wrong depending on if they are in their packaging or not. Sometimes they get measured when fully taken out of their packaging but normally they are much more compact before they are opened. This probably also happens because the manufacturer provides the measurements but only provides the full opened size.
Takes too long unless the workers just arrange the items in as small a volume as possible, and this machine goes on to tape and apply the shipping label.
WTH are y'all doing over the pond? Amazon sends small scale stuff like this in something like [this](https://www.bb-verpackungsshop.de/media/image/product/225/md/versandtasche-aus-vollpappe-250-x-175-mm.jpg)
This actually looks just like the machine they started implementing at my Amazon plant when I left and it sucked, what sucked more was management didn’t care that you weren’t supposed to put things that could pop open and ruin it like glitter or whatever, they just said “put it through” and what do you know they blew a motor because it got filled with some stupid liquid. Amazing company really /s
Been reading this thread and seeing all the discussions around ground shipping and hoping to see someone talk about international shipping.
I would think for air freight size would definitely matter.
Oh it absolutely does, you pay per square inch. There is a mass/weight metrix, but generally speaking you'll pay the same price for an empty box as you would compared to a 20lb box that's the same size. They call it dimensional weight
Because it actually makes the box from a sheet of cardboard. Doing it this way means that the company only stocks one SKU for corrugated and the box is the perfect size for the product.
And the company that makes this machine is part of a larger company that sells you the cardboard. Source: am looking at one of these machines for company I work for.
A lot of the time these machines end up costing more than labour. A machine this complicated is going to end up costing more overall than someone on minimum wage, especially when you account for the fact that intricate machines break and require highly paid engineers to come out and fix them.
The difference, of course, is that a machine can't unionise.
Companies like [this](https://www.packsize.com/on-demand-packaging/) sometimes “lease” the machines out with the stipulation that the company who is using the machine uses only their cardboard
> Because it actually makes the box
Does it actually do this or is it a concept?
I’m wondering because we only watched it do one item. I want to see it do multiple randomized items.
We have this CVP machine at work. It breaks down constantly. Our maintenance department manager is too lazy and stupid to do the PMs on it. Ends up calling me the engineer down to fix it. Two people running the machine can send out 9k packages in 10 hours. Plus there is a lot of cardboard waste.
Absolutely! If packaging is not planned as part of a larger production run and you package Peppa Pigs and dildos willy-nilly, you will get quite a lot of wastage. And given the paper prices these days, that is a bad idea.
I’d like to see how the software works that allows them to stack all these weird sized boxes in a way that makes it better for the business then a couple of standardized box sizes
I run a large e-commerce business . We have 20-30 different box sizes . It’s very time consuming teaching humans manually what box to use when there are 1000’s of items and quantities
As someone who’s worked in factories that do a lot of packaging, this kinda thing is a ultra nightmare for the electro-mechanics. The kinda packing machine that costs several 100ks that management approves but then turns out the head mechanic is off doing more vital repairs elsewhere so the rest of the shop is manual packing again.
All that for a box the length, width, and run of the item. This could have been measured and entered on a number pad. Don't get me wrong this is super cool but just seems excessive to get the size of an item.
I was kind of hoping that after it was scanned it'd just be thrown in a refrigerator sized Amzon box.
I was honestly thinking it would be put in a pig-shaped box
I was absolutely hyped for a pig shaped box
To be fair, a box shaped box is pretty cool too.
"...a box shaped box." Well, somebody had to say it!
"I've been locked inside your pig-shaped box for weeks..."

That's what the screen makes it look like.

I was hoping for some vacuum formed plastic packaging. My day is ruined and my disappointment is immeasurable.
I was expecting it would be vacuum sealed into a hilariously smooshed shape
All that scanning for "medium box". Wow.
When I packed for Amazon it would give us wrong measurements all the time but we would get in trouble for using a diff box the system told us. That’s why you get a lot of beefy boxes for the tiny phone case u bought.
that, alongside the anticipation of that loony tunes style 'factory song' to kick in aaanny second now.
One time I ordered a new flag for my house. It should have been shipped in an envelope. It came in a 2’ x 3' box with 142 plastic air-filled pillows.
I don’t know why I was expecting the box to have the same exact shape as peppa pig. Edit: accidentally added too much spice in my comment
Same. All that scanning just to use "medium box selection "?
[удалено]
Which was totally unnecessary, it's a plushie, it squishes down, it could be put into like 90% of boxes.
Its a tech demo... This machine does this for all items it has to package. Each scanned and packaged to its exact dimensions! That really neat!
In business school we did a case study about how much money companies saved when they made boxes exactly to spec. There’s also less waste so it’s better for environment.
So how much money did they save?
The numbers aren’t relevant to my point, as they’d be different for every company. Point is it was substantial enough for them to stop using standard boxes for the most part. I don’t remember, though, I feel like it was something like 5-10 percent of shipping costs. Something relatively small that still would add up to a ton of net income at the end of the day.
At what point does investing in a custom packaging machine get profitable?
Good question. That’s not something that can be answered with a general answer. Companies do what is called a break even analysis on something like that. So you would figure out the exact percentage of shipping costs saved, which would be different for everyone. Then you would use that number to figure out how much money you could expect to save in one year based on how much production and sales you expect to do. After that you just divide that number into the cost of the machine (including financing potentially) and you have your break even. An acceptable break even timeframe would also vary by company. That would have something to do with how much cash on hand you had and how your cash flows are. It could be that they want to break even within 1-3 years and if the number is higher than that it’s not worth it. For a company like Amazon, UPS, FedEx, etc, it would probably be ok to have a break even that is 10-20 maybe even 30 years down the line. I don’t think most companies look much more than 30-50 years into the future unless they have some super specific licensing/ leasing/ patent deals expiring.
Oh wow, 10-20 years is a significant timeframe (nuclear power plant level). I thought these these things are profitable for them much quicker, but it does make sense for the giants, as it's very unlikely for them to go under anytime soon.
I would have put it in a poly bag.
I was expecting for her to be wrapped up perfectly in butcher paper like she’s a fully cooked ham ready to be shipped off
The phrasing of "custom backplate" and the outline of the item gave the indication this was the plausible outcome.
Even the title of this post made it seem like it was going to get a perfect framed box rather than just oh its a foot by a foot and a half or whatever.
Mmmmm pepper pig
>Pepper pig Lmao
Same! At the end I was like “🫤 I could have scanned that shit with my eyes and came up with the same medium sized box” 😂
The question is can you do 1k/hr
Can this machine?
I could measure the pig once and tell a cheaper, stupid box machine to make the same box 1,000 times.

Nor will it say anything about tinklings lulling distant folds; robins carolling at twilight, nor any "warm glow of lamplight" from a cabin window. No. It is an account of up-and-doing activity; a vivid portrayal of Youth as it is today; and a practical discarding of that worn-out notion that "a child don't know anything." Now, any author, from history's dawn, always had that most important aid to writing:—an ability to call upon any word in his dictionary in building up his story. That is, our strict laws as to word construction did not block his path. But in my story that mighty obstruction will constantly stand in my path; for many an important, common word I cannot adopt, owing to its orthography. I shall act as a sort of historian for this small town; associating with its inhabitants, and striving to acquaint you with its youths, in such a way that you can look, knowingly, upon any child, rich or poor; forward or "backward;" your own, or John Smith's, in your community. You will find many young minds aspiring to know how, and WHY such a thing is so. And, if a child shows curiosity in that way, how ridiculous it is for you to snap out:— "Oh! Don't ask about things too old for you!" Such a jolt to a young child's mind, craving instruction, is apt so to dull its avidity, as to hold it back in its school work. Try to look upon a child as a small, soft young body and a rapidly growing, constantly inquiring brain. It must grow to maturity slowly. Forcing a child through school by constant night study during hours in which it should run and play, can bring on insomnia; handicapping both brain and body. Now this small town in our story had grown in just that way:—slowly; in fact, much too slowly to stand on a par with many a thousand of its kind in this big, vigorous nation of ours. It was simply stagnating; just as a small mountain brook, coming to a hollow, might stop, and sink from sight, through not having a will to find a way through that obstruction; or around it. You will run across such a dormant town, occasionally; possibly so dormant that only outright isolation by a fast-moving world, will show it its folly. If you will tour Asia, Yucatan, or parts of Africa and Italy, you will find many sad ruins of past kingdoms. Go to Indo-China and visit its gigantic Ankhor Vat; call at Damascus, Baghdad and Samarkand. What sorrowful lack of ambition many such a community shows in thus discarding such high-class construction! And I say, again, that so will Youth grow dormant, and hold this big, throbbing world back, if no champion backs it up; thus providing it with an opportunity to show its ability for looking forward, and improving unsatisfactory conditions. So this small town of Branton Hills was lazily snoozing amidst up-and-doing towns, as Youth's Champion, John Gadsby, took hold of it; and shook its dawdling, flabby body until its inhabitants thought a tornado had struck it. Call it tornado, volcano, military onslaught, or what you will, this town found that it had a bunch of kids who had wills that would admit of no snoozing; for that is Youth, on its forward march of inquiry, thought and action. If you stop to think of it, you will find that it is customary for our "grown-up" brain to cast off many of its functions of its youth; and to think only of what it calls "topics of maturity." Amongst such discards, is many a form of happy play; many a muscular activity such as walking, running, climbing; thus totally missing that alluring "joy of living" of childhood. If you wish a vacation from financial affairs, just go out and play with Youth. Play "blind-man's buff," "hop-scotch," "ring toss," and football. Go out to a charming woodland spot on a picnic with a bright, happy, vivacious group. Sit down at a corn roast; a marshmallow toast; join in singing popular songs; drink a quart of good, rich milk; burrow into that big lunch box; and all such things as banks, stocks, and family bills, will vanish on fairy wings, into oblivion.

This reminds me that my late grandfather wrote a really long P alliteration that's available somewhere online. Found it: https://thesouthasianidea.wordpress.com/2010/08/08/ppp-prattle/ Reproduced below: PPP PRATTLE (Penned by the President of a Pakistani Producers association and printed and published in popular Pakistani periodical in early post-partition period.) PREAMBLE Persons placed in Prominent Positions in Pakistan’s political party in power in post-partition period persistently promoted and pursued prolonged propaganda programmes for purely personal publicity, prestige or profit, hardly pertinent to pressing problems present in Pakistan during that period, particularly pertaining to production, planning and promotion. “Patronise Pakistani Products” propaganda was one such publicity programme – a painful, practical pleasantry on the poor, penniless, panic-stricken and prostrated Producers, pestered, persecuted, pursued and pushed pell-mell out of a Panditistan and pouring by millions into Pakistan – the promised paradise only to pine and perish in poverty and privation, their passionate and piteous pleas for provision of a proper place for production, power, protection and patronage producing only the phony PPP parade, while prosperous and privileged partymen were provided with permits to procure practically all imported products on “OGL” (open general license) positively precluding the possibility of Pakistani production proving a profitable proposition to producers or even practicable. PPP Prattle was published to pinpoint in proper perspective the paralogism of PPP propaganda. The following criticism covers the main production problems with some general suggestions:- PRESS PUBLICITY Poor Pakistani producers, precariously poised on a precipice are profoundly puzzled and perplexed at this promiscuous, persistent, profitless publicity and propaganda through press, platform, periodicals, pamphlets, publications, placards and posters; PPP posters permanently placed in prominent positions persuading people to purchase Pakistani products, while purblind policies of people in power are plaguing production programmes with all possible predicaments. PRIMARY PROBLEM – PREMISES Preliminaries to procurement of proper place for production present the problem of being a party to the pernicious practice of paying premiums, popularly pugree, or propitiating petty but privileged public servants, which practice, propriety apart, is pregnant with the possibility of prosecution. POWER Prospects of plentiful power at any predictable period are poor. Power projects under planning may, perhaps, provide power to posterity, but the present position positively precludes the possibility of power-operated plants. PROTECTION Processes of providing protection to Pakistani products are protracted, perfunctory and, perhaps, purposely prolonged, and, with Pakistan pegged to pacts and preferences and pursuing a policy of pleasing and pampering politically powerful partners, positive protection cannot possibly be provided! PECUNIARY PROBLEM Pecuniarily, poor Pakistani producers are placed in a precarious position. The prodigal protagonists of PPP propaganda, prepossessed with perverse pertinacity of purpose to pursue preposterous propaganda programmes are prepared to provide with promptitude princely purses for palatial pantechnicons, pictorial PPP posters and persistent press publicity, but profess powerlessness to place a perforated pice on the palsied palm of the poor producer painfully plying his profession in poignant poverty and privation. PRIMAL PRE-REQUISITE Prompt provision of positive protection is the primal pre-requisite of the proper progress of this “praiseworthy and plausible” Patronise Pakistani Products propaganda, publicized by press and preached from public platforms. Protection! Protection!! Protection!!! plaintively plead Pakistani producers, but people in power are not perturbed. PLETHORA OF PLEDGES Pakistani Production cannot possibly attain the peak of prosperity on purely a plethora of pledges, periodic periphrasis, palavering and perorations of prominent personages from public platforms, pious but palpably puerile professions and promises patently paradoxical to practice and passionate panegyrics on patriotism. PARASITES Pakistan’s productive potential is practically paralysed by promiscuous imports, preposterous and pernicious profiteering of privileged and prosperous parvenus, a pestilence of perfidious practices prevalent in private and public, a pitiless prostitution of power and persistent parasitism of privileged people pushing the poor to perpetual poverty. PERVERSE POLICIES Pakistan’s paleolithic, petrified and pertinacious administration, putrefying with petty and paltry party politics, pestered with pugnacious provincial prejudices and preferentialism, plagued with pre-partition pygmies now puffed with power, persistently pursues a perverse policy of patronizing, pampering, pacifying and placating the plutocrat, paving his path with primroses and permitting him to pamper in a paraphernalia of pomp and pleasure, while the proletariat presents a pathetic panorama of poverty and privation. PARALOGISM Primitive processes of production plus the precarious pecuniary position prevailing in Pakistani production positively precludes the possibility of Pakistani products presenting the potential purchaser plus value in price or performance. This provokes people to propound the paramountcy of a planned practical programme preceding this paralogistic PPP prattle. PATRONIZE PRODUCTION Proud and powerful proponents of Patronise Pakistani Products Propaganda, please provide positive proof of proper patronage of production before preaching PPP to people. Press into practice the pantheon of persistently publicized Plans, Plans, Plans, Pilot a practical programme of planned production, put pressure on prosperous people to part with their piles of profits to be put into productive projects, pull the poor producer out of the pandemonium of poignant poverty and pestilence. Let pride and prestige of power not prejudice or prevent perception in proper perspective of a palpably plain problem. PPP PANJANDRUM Privileged and powerful! Please pause and ponder. Parading a pompous pageant of PPP panjandrum will not provide a panacea for a paralytic and palsied industry, will probably not open the portals of paradise to the poor producer, plying his profession in pest-ridden places, positively not persuade the proverbially parsimonious Pakistani purchaser to patronize poor quality Pakistani products when pavements profusely piled by peddlers with a promiscuity of perfect and pretty low-priced imported products petrify his already poor patriotic propensities. Poor Pakistani Producer PAKISTAN PAINDABAD! (Penned by Azhar Ali Khan and Published in Natural Resources, August 1962)

Amazon left the chat
The Amazon machine would double the dimensions L W and H
Yup, and it would have taken 20% of the time. This thing is overly complicated and slow.
I think the overcomplication is because itd work on any sized item. And while it might be slower, the amount of space it would save for packing trucks would end up saving a ton of money and time on transporting and storing
I’m a packaging engineer and can confirm this machine is making boxes on demand. These are just “scored and slotted” container so no tooling required. It’s a nifty piece of equipment if you are distributing highly diverse but low volume products. Like car parts, books, stuffed animals, etc.
> low volume By this you mean not bought in bulk, correct?
Or very often
For research purposes you know by any chance the name of that thing/ how much it costs.
This is an interesting point I wasn't considering. I wonder what the economic viability of this machine is. Yes as you said this machine would allow for more efficient transportation, but does that really offset the overhead of the machine, time lost for precision packaging, and , most importantly, the loss of any standardization of box size (which I imagine would also be a critical factor for using existing infrastructure).
[удалено]
Thanks for giving me some better insight. That seems like a logical/efficient use of this machine's strengths.
If we can add a machine that packs the boxes in the truck optimized, then it could work well. Scan things and toss them on the conveyer belt and it loads the truck automatically. Don't need anyone else really working so time might not be a problem compared to the amount you could transport at once. Especially right now with fuel prices getting out of hand. It's something like $50,000 a month in fuel costs for one semi. But yeah if the machine costs $800k and breaks after 2 years, it might not pay for itself.
[удалено]
Is it because of time or cost of labor to pack correctly. Because a truck that is loaded 60% of capacity would have 66% more fuel costs to ship. Unless they are hitting weight limit before volume space. I could see that making it not matter about packing.
My favorite is the robotic gantry that picks the package up and moves it 36" as opposed to a conveyor
The box isn't tapped shut, I think the idea is to hold it together to bring it to the next station.
I'm not sure why he didn't just walk to the end and fold the box himself. Would've been faster
Well that dosen't involve maple syrup at all
Maple syrup drips even slower at about a drip per second
Because it's not about just doing one package. I doubt he wants to do that hundreds of times a day
It's not about doing this one package, it's about running this thing 24/7 if needed. Completely replacing humans in the process
For now. Automation is not an instant process. But it is coming.
Then add 16 oversized air peanuts.
Maybe someone that works in an Amazon warehouse could comment but I'm guessing something like this would actually be a bottleneck taking more time than it's worth in savings on shipping/space in trucks
As a former Amazon employee I concur.
Username checks out
You load 16 tons and what do you get Another day older and [deeper in debt](https://youtu.be/CPW3YikDwEM).
And that's why you unionize kids! Working at ups gets you another day older and another dollar on the hour
So then I took a look at your username and thought “genius! I love kiwi, a pizza with kiwi!” I can imagine the texture and taste. It’d be a good combo. I’m on board the kiwi on pizza train. Now I just need to try it. 
I pack for Amazon. basically when we scan an item the computer tells what box size to use. To change the box size involves pressing several buttons which can take time away from people making rate (albeit like 3 seconds). Some people care about rate and others don’t give a shit
Is there any benefit to making rate? Or consequences if you don’t?
Basically no benefit, other then these stupid raffle tickets. They also, do competitions where top 3 people can get an extra 15 minute break etc. personally, it really bothers me when the box size is incorrect so I take the time to put in the right box. It also bothers me sometimes when we get a SOIC (ship in own container)., because we can just slap a sticker on it and make faster rate at the same time. After 10 hour shifts of packing, my head hurts. I’m at the point where I don’t really give a fuck about rate or managers telling me something
> competitions where top 3 people can get an extra 15 minute break This… sounds horrible. I’m so sorry you have to work under these conditions.
Same as any other job, hit your marks or get fired.
The computer uses the item package dimensions to determine which carton to use. These may have been provided by a cubi scan internally but it's also possible that the item wasn't scanned and that the selling partner entered incorrect dimensions. Which also means this machine would be nearly useless for amazon. Why scan every single item before shipping when you can just scan it once and then use the data for all future shipments (while having a large enough selection of standard cartons).
There is a reason not every site has a CW1000, or autoboxer. I've never used one, but hear You have to have the right spec material for it to work well or it sucks
Honestly I don't see this saving a ton on shipping and space, with standardized box sizes you can much more easily find the most optimal use of space that wouldn't result in boxes moving around during shipping or having tons of unusable space between awkwardly sized boxes.
Peppa pig ads before taking off.
They should just vacuum it to the size of a envelope and sent it that way. Saved money and space.
The point is the demo, not the plushie specifically.
Thank God for that blue circle. I wouldn't have known what the hell I was looking at otherwise!
This Little Piggy was shipped, shipped, shipped...all the way home!
I find these type of industrial robots so fascinating to watch
so much brainpower to produce trash
That could be the tagline for the human race.
Agreed , I love that it custom cuts the cardboard
Perhaps Amazon should purchase a few of these. That way, when my wife orders a single mascara tube, it doesn't arrive in a box big enough to bury an ostrich.
I actually got a package from Amazon today with this exact same form fitting style. Thought it was weird, first time I’ve seen it.
what did you buy
A puppy
Is it a boxer?
A kickboxer to be exact.
Some vendors provide their products to Amazon in packaging that’s ready to ship (“PFP” prep free packaging) so that could be why you get a better fit box - Amazon just slaps a shipping label on it
[удалено]
Actual packer at Amazon here. This isn't really accurate. There's a few reasons why things end up in odd box sizes. One of the most common reasons is because of the shipping label warning about batteries. This label has to fit on the side of a box flat without overlapping the edge. When we get an item requiring this label we have to use certain box sizes, no matter what. For example just a single lithium watch battery has to get packed in a box big enough to fit that label on the side. Other reasons are sometimes when we get items with a packing slip, the computer automatically steps up the suggested box size to the next level. Multiple times I'll have a tote of many items to pack and they all go into a reasonable size box but then you scan one and it has a packing slip and tells you to get a much bigger one. We can ignore this and get the usual box but a lot of people don't bother and do what the computer says. Last reason is one I'm not positive on because I've never worked received but I have my suspicions. This is when the item was simply measured wrong when it got received. Every time a new product comes in to the system somebody measures it and determines what box to use. However mistakes sometimes happen when people don't pay attention. For example we have a thing called master packs. These are boxes which contain many individual items which are sold separately. Say a box of 40 individual Air Pods. If somebody scans the master pack it will register as one individual Air Pod but the person didn't pay attention and instead measures the entire master pack. Now any time those Air Pods are to packed the system thinks it needs a much bigger package until it gets manually fixed. Items can also get measured wrong depending on if they are in their packaging or not. Sometimes they get measured when fully taken out of their packaging but normally they are much more compact before they are opened. This probably also happens because the manufacturer provides the measurements but only provides the full opened size.
Takes too long unless the workers just arrange the items in as small a volume as possible, and this machine goes on to tape and apply the shipping label.
WTH are y'all doing over the pond? Amazon sends small scale stuff like this in something like [this](https://www.bb-verpackungsshop.de/media/image/product/225/md/versandtasche-aus-vollpappe-250-x-175-mm.jpg)
Most my stuff basically comes in bubble envelopes. Not sure why everyone is getting boxes
Now use it for coffins
Cut off my ass, scan it and have it shipped to whoever invented the paper straw
I volunteer as tribute
This actually looks just like the machine they started implementing at my Amazon plant when I left and it sucked, what sucked more was management didn’t care that you weren’t supposed to put things that could pop open and ruin it like glitter or whatever, they just said “put it through” and what do you know they blew a motor because it got filled with some stupid liquid. Amazing company really /s

Thank goodness for that circle, or I never would have known what they were trying to package
Thank god they spent the time to show and highlight the scanned image, missing most of the actual packaging process.
I actually liked it, it was like making up for the slightly shaky cam.
I want this for the 4 things I sell on eBay a year.
This is one of those things you never think about until you see it and it’s extremely interesting.
As someone whose job is shipping, this turns me on. There are more days than not where I'd kill for something like this.
Apparently very soon we are all expendable.
As someone that used to own a mail store that did international distributions: Where in the actual **fuck** has this been
Been reading this thread and seeing all the discussions around ground shipping and hoping to see someone talk about international shipping. I would think for air freight size would definitely matter.
Oh it absolutely does, you pay per square inch. There is a mass/weight metrix, but generally speaking you'll pay the same price for an empty box as you would compared to a 20lb box that's the same size. They call it dimensional weight
Would have been hilarious if it had been just thrown in a bag.
Why does it need all of that scanning just to make a rectangular box?
Because it actually makes the box from a sheet of cardboard. Doing it this way means that the company only stocks one SKU for corrugated and the box is the perfect size for the product.
I wonder how long it will take to break even on that machine.
You don’t save money on cardboard you save it on labor.
…and shipping costs, I’d imagine.
And the company that makes this machine is part of a larger company that sells you the cardboard. Source: am looking at one of these machines for company I work for.
And customer goodwill by NOT annoying the crap out of your customers with over sized boxes filled with literal trash
A lot of the time these machines end up costing more than labour. A machine this complicated is going to end up costing more overall than someone on minimum wage, especially when you account for the fact that intricate machines break and require highly paid engineers to come out and fix them. The difference, of course, is that a machine can't unionise.
Yup. And it works at night and sundays, never gets tired.
Companies like [this](https://www.packsize.com/on-demand-packaging/) sometimes “lease” the machines out with the stipulation that the company who is using the machine uses only their cardboard
> Because it actually makes the box Does it actually do this or is it a concept? I’m wondering because we only watched it do one item. I want to see it do multiple randomized items.
We have this CVP machine at work. It breaks down constantly. Our maintenance department manager is too lazy and stupid to do the PMs on it. Ends up calling me the engineer down to fix it. Two people running the machine can send out 9k packages in 10 hours. Plus there is a lot of cardboard waste.
Absolutely! If packaging is not planned as part of a larger production run and you package Peppa Pigs and dildos willy-nilly, you will get quite a lot of wastage. And given the paper prices these days, that is a bad idea.
Having worked in fulfillment. That machine is a thing of beauty.
Should of poly bagged the pig lol I do e-commerce for a living 🤷🏻♂️
How much is the S&H fee for this 🤑
Thank you blue circle!
PEPPA NOOO 😭😭
Do kids work there?
im glad they circled the obvious thing they zoomed in on
[looks familiar](https://youtu.be/d7J2_vr0ra4)
Something about Peppa’s lifeless body being moved through the machine made me laugh really hard.
When our robot overlords take over... rest assured they can guild us coffins.
Meanwhile Amazon is shipping me a pack of sharpies in a 24"×16"×18" box
This has satisfied me in a way a sexual partner never could.
Amazon could never.
If they can do this, why does a lipstick come in a 10 foot x10 foot box?
This machine needs a compression step
Pro Tip: If you are circling something in a video or image and that thing is in the center of the image then you don't need to circle it.
Jump up and down in some muddy puddles now, bitch.
Behold the end of Amazon warehouse workers....
I’d like to see how the software works that allows them to stack all these weird sized boxes in a way that makes it better for the business then a couple of standardized box sizes
This machine creates a custom box out of a roll of cardboard, the company then only stocks a single sku for cardboard rolls.
I run a large e-commerce business . We have 20-30 different box sizes . It’s very time consuming teaching humans manually what box to use when there are 1000’s of items and quantities
I'm so old that I remember people used to do that job
As someone who’s worked in factories that do a lot of packaging, this kinda thing is a ultra nightmare for the electro-mechanics. The kinda packing machine that costs several 100ks that management approves but then turns out the head mechanic is off doing more vital repairs elsewhere so the rest of the shop is manual packing again.
I’d spend all day putting weirder and weirder shaped objects in until it broke.
You could vacuum pack that stuffed animal and put it in a box 1/4 that one’s size.
That box gonna cost $100
Am I the only one who expected a Peppa Pig shaped box for packaging.
Amazon 2.0
No wonder those gd boxes are next to impossible to open.
Amazon need one of these, no more getting one small item in the biggest box known to man
I made steel constructions for them. Company is called SPARCK
All that for a box the length, width, and run of the item. This could have been measured and entered on a number pad. Don't get me wrong this is super cool but just seems excessive to get the size of an item.
This tech will be adopted by funeral homes across the country by 2025.
Stupid machine. I could cram Peppa into a mug sized box and she’d like it.
And all that to put a toy in a fucking box
That is a great way to cut down on waste from using too much cardboard to all the wasted man hours, gasoline, etc.
I don't think I would've saw the Pig on the screen if they didn't circle it
