Humans simply don't have the time to consider all the various ways to pack an order or the costs associated with each unique shipment.

Cartonizaton is a step in an order lifecycle where the correct box configuration is determined for optimal shipping - from reducing air inside the box, to saving on transportation costs. It's a piece of the supply chain puzzle that's becoming more and more critical as order fulfillment demand explodes and parcel carriers struggle with capacity.
