CMC Packaging Automation Unveils Two Groundbreaking Innovations at LogiMAT & ProMat 2025
Revolutionizing eCommerce Fulfilment with Space-Saving, Smart Packaging Automation
Città di Castello, Italy 28th February 2025 – Growing eCommerce creates challenges in space, labour, shipping costs and sustainable packaging. CMC, a global leader in sustainable packaging solutions, will introduce two innovations: CMC Super Vertical and CMC Genesys PRIMA.
They will appear at LogiMAT in Stuttgart, Germany, on March 11–13, 2025, and ProMat in Chicago on March 17–20, 2025.
CMC Super Vertical: compact 3D packaging
The first 3D Vertical Bagger and Auto-packer handles single and multi-item orders. It combines an ultra-compact footprint with one-day installation, plug-and-play integration and easy relocation, making it ideal for brownfield sites.
CMC Super Vertical occupies less than 10 square metres/107 square feet. It is designed to optimize fulfilment in smaller facilities. Its scalable, plug-and-play design integrates into brownfield environments with minimal disruption. As an entry-level solution, it also helps businesses move from manual packaging to 3D automation.
Key Features of the CMC Super Vertical:
-
- Packaging Capabilities – Two versions available to produce either 3D paper mailers or right-sized boxes, offering versatility for diverse products shipping needs.
-
- Higher speed per Square Metre/Feet – Runs up to 500 packages per hour, handling both single and multi-line orders seamlessly.
-
- Pre-Consolidation Eliminated – Handles unstable multi-line orders without requiring pre-consolidation.
-
- Versatile Paper Options for 3D Mailer Version–Supports heat sealable functional barrier paper, kraft paper, padded paper and open flute cardboard for enhanced protection.
-
- Plug-and-Play Installation – Allows for easy setup next to put walls, lower shipping and installation costs, seamless integration into existing fulfilment workflows and easy relocation.
CMC Genesys PRIMA: a new era for box-first packaging
This high-throughput, space-efficient machine integrates box-first automation with warehouse technologies. It follows the recent launch of CMC Genesys Compact for box-last processing. This innovation is the first right-sized packaging machine of its kind to support both box-first and box-last processes.
A footprint of less than 20 square metres/215 square feet ensures easy installation and relocation for future expansion.
CMC PRIMA-BOX: built-in protection
The system introduces CMC PRIMA-BOX, a patented box concept designed to set a new standard in automated packaging.
- A unique box design eliminating any void filling material
- Unnecessary corrugated is not discarded but used to create built-in protective corners, providing additional stability and safeguarding for products.
- The box arrives at the picking station with one open side. Operators can place products inside without flaps getting in the way. This is especially useful for taller boxes or avoiding trays.
- New design does not require extra equipment to place a lid or seal the box
- Optional automatic box closing
- Tape-free design, reducing material waste
- Easy opening and resealing option
- Opens from the top like a presentation box—enhancing customer experience
Automation for existing fulfilment spaces
Fulfilment centres increasingly seek to optimize existing space rather than expand. CMC Super Vertical and CMC Genesys PRIMA address this need with automation designed for sustainability, operational efficiency and maximum ROI.
