Visy, an Australian-based global leader in sustainable packaging solutions, has acquired Packsize Australia and New Zealand. Operating under ‘Packsize enabled by Visy’, the acquisition gives Visy exclusive distribution rights for Packsize’s technology and solutions, providing right sized boxes on demand.

Packsize is an established supplier of on demand packaging that combine precise right-sizing technology, equipment, accessories, and services required to package and ship goods directly from a packaging line. This innovation in turn leads to reduced freight costs, better protection for the product and reduction in waste.

The Packsize X5 will be on show at APPEX.
