Packsize® is honored to announce that we have been named a triple winner in the 2025 Packaging Gateway Excellence Awards, receiving recognition for Innovation, M&A, and Environmental performance. As one of the industry’s largest and most respected independent recognition programs, powered by GlobalData’s business intelligence, the Packaging Gateway Excellence Awards evaluates over one billion data sets each year to identify companies driving meaningful change across the global packaging landscape. Being recognized across three distinct Areas of Excellence underscores the breadth and depth of our impact on modern, sustainable, right-sized packaging.
Our Innovation award in the High-Throughput Automation category reflects years of focused engineering and system integration work to make right-sized packaging viable at the fastest speeds and highest volumes in today’s warehouses. With solutions such as the X6 automated right-sized packaging system, we are enabling customers to produce up to 1,500 right-sized boxes per hour, while integrating seamlessly with ASRS, shuttle, and goods-to-person technologies. By supporting both flapped boxes and corrugated trays on a single platform, and by designing features like seamless-bottom box geometry and very small, flat cartons that can replace poly mailers, we are helping customers simultaneously increase productivity, reduce waste, and meet evolving regulatory and carrier requirements.
The M&A award for Portfolio Consolidation recognizes the strategic importance of bringing Packsize and Sparck Technologies together under one umbrella. This combination creates a unified portfolio that spans box-first and box-last workflows and serves a wide range of operations, from ship-from-store and micro-fulfillment to high-throughput distribution centers. By integrating Sparck’s CVP platforms with Packsize systems and complementary lid and tray solutions, we are giving customers a single, global partner for right-sized automation—reducing vendor complexity, streamlining deployments, and building a stronger foundation for shared R&D, reliability, and long-term lifecycle support.
Our Environmental award in the Low-Carbon Localization category highlights the work we are doing to decarbonize packaging supply chains through nearshoring and circular practices. At our Louisville, Kentucky Innovation Center, we are localizing assembly and refurbishment to reduce logistics miles, lower Scope 3 transport emissions, and cut reliance on expedited and air freight. The site’s energy-managed operations and refurbishment capabilities extend equipment life, reduce embodied carbon, and support more resilient, lower-impact supply chains for our customers across North America.
“As a sustainable packaging leader, Packsize remains committed to Right-Sized Packaging On-Demand®, combining hardware, software, accessories/consumables, and services to help companies around the world increase throughput while enhancing their brand, customer experience, and bottom line. These three honors from the Packaging Gateway Excellence Awards reinforce our mission of delivering Smart Packaging for a Healthy Planet®.“ ~ David Lockwood, Packsize CEO.
