Businesses face growing obstacles as eCommerce continues its explosive growth, including limited space, a manpower scarcity, rising shipping costs, and the pressing need for environmentally friendly packaging options.
With the introduction of two revolutionary innovations—CMC Super Vertical and CMC Genesys PRIMA—at LogiMAT in Stuttgart, Germany, March 11–13, 2025, and ProMat 2025 in Chicago, March 17–20, 2025, CMC, a global provider of sustainable, cutting-edge packaging solutions, is poised to revolutionise fulfilling operations.
The first 3D vertical bagger and auto-packer for single and multiple item orders, CMC Super Vertical is perfect for brownfield sites because of its incredibly small footprint, one-day installation, plug-and-play integration, and relocation capabilities.
CMC Super Vertical is a breakthrough in appropriately sized packaging automation, with a footprint of less than 10 square meters (107 square feet), and is made to maximise fulfilment even in smaller facilities. Being the first 3D Vertical Bagger and Auto-packer available, it offers a scalable and plug-and-play solution that blends in perfectly with brownfield settings. It is the best option for organisations looking to automate their current facilities with the least amount of disturbance. It may also be used as a starting point to assist businesses in making the switch from manual packaging to 3D automation.
The CMC Super Vertical’s main features include:
- Packaging Capabilities: There are two models that can create 3D paper mailers or appropriately sized boxes, providing flexibility for a range of product delivery requirements.
- Greater speed per square meter/foot: Capable of processing up to 500 packages per hour, it can easily handle single-line and multi-line orders.
- Pre-consolidation is no longer necessary because unstable multi-line orders can be handled without it.
- Versatile Paper Options for 3D Mailer Version: For improved protection, kraft paper, cushioned paper, open flute cardboard, and heat sealable functional barrier paper are all supported.
- Plug-and-Play Installation: This feature makes it simple to set up close to walls, reduces shipping and installation expenses, integrates seamlessly with current fulfilling procedures, and is portable.
A New Era of Packaging with a Box First
Using interaction with warehouse automation technology, CMC Genesys PRIMA is a high-throughput, space-efficient device that advances box-first automation. This latest breakthrough is the only right-sized packaging machine of its kind to enable BOTH box-first and box-last processes, which is a considerable improvement in operating efficiency and comes after the recent debut of the CMC Genesys Compact for box-last processing.
With a footprint of less than 20 square meters (215 square feet), CMC Genesys PRIMA is straightforward to install and can be easily moved for future growth.
In addition to developing a ground-breaking technology with CMC Genesys PRIMA, CMC also reinvents packaging with CMC PRIMA-BOX, a patented, creative box concept intended to raise the bar for automated packaging.
- Unnecessary corrugated is not thrown away but rather used to build built-in protective corners, giving products extra stability and protection.
- A unique box design eliminates unnecessary void filling material.
- One side of the box is open when it is delivered to the picking station, making it simple for operators to load goods inside without being obstructed by the flaps.This feature is particularly helpful for handling taller boxes or avoiding the need for trays.
- The new design eliminates the need for additional tools to close the box or place a lid. It can be closed automatically. Its tape-free design reduces material waste.
- It is simple to open and reseal. It opens from the top like a presentation box, improving the customer experience.
CMC Super Vertical and CMC Genesys PRIMA offer a future-proof automation solution made for sustainability, operational efficiency, and maximum return on investment, as fulfilment centres increasingly choose to maximise their current facilities rather than expand.
