Advanced, sustainable and integrated packaging for modern intralogistics will be on display at CMC Packaging Automation’s booths at LogiMAT 2026 and MODEX Atlanta. The events will mark another milestone as the company anticipates the unveiling of the new CMC Super Vertical Box (CMC SV-Box) and an innovative showcase for a fully integrated Pick2Pack process.
The new CMC SV-Box represents a significant development in the field of automated packaging. Designed specifically for e-commerce and omnichannel fulfillment, the CMC SV-Box is the first and only fully automated, box-shaped, right-sized vertical packer. Unlike traditional box-first systems, which rely on predefined carton sizes and WMS data to estimate box dimensions, CMC SV-Box builds each box only after the actual products have been measured in real time.
With high-resolution cameras and advanced cubic reading technology, the system captures true dimensions of each order directly from the physical items.
With production of up to 500 perfectly sized boxes per hour and an ultra-compact footprint of just 10 m²/110 square feet – compared to the over 100 m²/1,000 square feet typically required by conventional right-sized packaging machines – the CMC SV-Box redefines compact automation, adapting perfectly to brownfield environments and space-constrained facilities.
Designed as an entry-level automation solution for SMEs but fully scalable for complex intralogistics systems, it embodies CMC‘s commitment to performance, flexibility and customer-centric packaging while delivering a typical ROI of less than two years. Using a cutting process from an innovative single-walled corrugated cardboard reel, the solution reduces corrugated consumption and packaging waste by up to approximately 60%, improving transport efficiency and supporting compliance with the European Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR) and other emerging global sustainability standards.
At LogiMAT in March and MODEX in April, the company will also demonstrate a fully integrated Pick2Pack process, demonstrating how electronic distribution centers can achieve greater efficiency, accuracy and scalability through end-to-end automation. Pick2Pack has become an essential feature for modern e-commerce and omnichannel fulfillment operations, allowing orders to easily move from storage to the right size package with minimal to no manual handling. By eliminating intermediate processing steps, Pick2Pack processes reduce labor reliance, increase throughput, improve order accuracy and support faster order cycle times, key requirements in today’s high-volume, high-variability fulfillment environments.
This approach also aligns with the industry’s growing trend toward dark factories, where highly automated systems operate with minimal human intervention. Dark warehouses not only address labor availability concerns, but also enable 24/7 operations, consistent performance, and improved workplace safety.
The heart of CMC’s Pick2Pack storefront is the CMC Genesys solution with Vary-Tote. This technology enables seamless integration with any AS/RS, supporting true one-touch and zero-touch processes from picking to packing the right size. Orders can be automatically entered, consolidated and packed with minimal or no manual entry, ensuring optimal box sizing, no empty fills and reduced shipping costs.
Tania Torcolacci, Head of Global Strategic Partnerships, commented: “This unique showcase will be supported by industry-leading technology partners. True automation is no longer about individual technologies working well in isolation, but about how they work together seamlessly to create a seamless flow from preparation to packaging.”
Francesco Ponti, CEO of CMC Packaging Automation, said: “Through its presence at these events, CMC Packaging Solutions strengthens its role as a technology partner for companies seeking to transform packaging from a manual cost center into a strategic, automated and sustainable component of their logistics operations.
