Abstract
A computer-based system for creating customized storage boxes, including: a computer with a memory element storing computer readable instructions and a processor to execute the instructions to: receive first data specifying an item for storage; receive second data specifying a number of the item for storage in at least one box or a use of the item; receive third data describing a physical attribute of the item; calculate, using the first, second, and third data, a volume of the at least one box; and transmit fourth data, including the volume. The system includes a packaging device to receive the fourth data and generate, using the fourth data, a two-dimensional layout, on a piece of media, for the at least one box. The layout includes a plurality of lines, on the piece of media for creasing or cutting the piece of media to form the at least one box.
