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.

The machine will be on show for the first time in Australia at the upcoming APPEX 2024 trade show (on stand E120), taking place in Melbourne in March.

Rhys Jacob, GM for Visy Automation, says Visy is committed to being a trusted partner for customers. “We are excited to bring the Packsize technology our partners across Australian and New Zealand. By integrating this with our proven end-to-end systems and material handling equipment we will deliver real value and efficiency to customers.”
