1. A method of producing a package, comprising:
- receiving, via an electronic user interface coupled to a processor, a first image of an object to be packaged, the first image including a background having a lined grid providing a set of known dimensions;
receiving, via the user interface, information relating to one or more properties of the object;
determining a three dimensional size for the object by processing the first image;
automatically selecting, by the processor, at least one package for the object;
automatically determining, by the processor, based on the one or more properties of the object, a packing material type; and
automatically determining, by the processor, based on the size and the selected package, a packing material amount.

Abstract
A method of producing a packaged uses an electronic user interface to receive a first image of an object to be packaged, along with information relating to one or more properties of the object. A three dimensional size for the object is determined, and a package is automatically selected. Based on the object properties, a packing material type is automatically determined. Based upon the size and the selected package, a packing material amount is determined.

14. A method of selecting packaging, the method comprising:
-
receiving, via an electronic user interface coupled to a processor, a first image of an object to be packaged, the first image including a background having a lined grid providing a set of known dimensions; receiving, via the user interface, information relating to one or more properties of the object; determining a three dimensional size for the object by processing the first image; automatically selecting, by the processor, at least one package for the object having a user-selected design; printing, via a printer, the first image on the selected package; automatically determining, by the processor, based on the one or more properties, a packing material type; automatically determining, by the processor, based on the size and the selected package, a packing material amount; providing the selected package; and providing packing material having the determined packing material amount. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
