1. A method, comprising:
- by an imaging device, capturing an image of a barcode;
by an image capture module, decoding the barcode to retrieve data, wherein the data includes a package size dimension, a point of reference, and a package structural parameter;
by a processor;
using the package size dimension and the structural parameter to define dimensions for a first facet of a package flat,using the dimensions for the first facet and the point of reference to determine dimensions for a plurality of additional facets for the package flat,defining a set of cutting instructions based on the dimensions for the first facet and the dimensions for the additional facets; and
by an automated package generation device, creating a package by using a cutting device to apply the cutting instructions to a substrate to yield the package flat.

Abstract
A personalized package creation system uses an imaging device to capture an image of a barcode. An image capture module decodes the barcode to retrieve data, such as package dimension data and one or more package structural parameters. Based on the package dimensions and the structural parameter, a processing device defines a set of cutting instructions. An automated package generation device applies the cutting instructions and uses a cutting device to creating a package.

9. An automated package generation system, comprising:
-
an image capture module configured decode a barcode to yield data corresponding to a package size dimension, a point of reference, and a structural parameter for a package; a processor; a cutting device; and a computer-readable memory holding programming instructions that, when executed, instruct the processor to; use the package dimensions and the structural parameter to define dimensions for a first facet of the package, use the dimensions for the first facet and the point of reference to determine dimensions for a plurality of additional facets for the package, define a set of cutting instructions based on the dimensions for the first facet and the dimensions for the additional facets; instruct the cutting device to apply the cutting instructions to a substrate to yield a two-dimensional flat of the package. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)

17. A computer-readable medium containing programming instructions that, when executed, cause a processor of an electronic device to:
-
capture an image of a barcode; decode the barcode to retrieve package dimension data, a point of reference, and a package structural parameter; use the package dimension data and the package structural parameter to define dimensions for a first facet of a package, use the dimensions for the first facet and the point of reference to determine dimensions for a plurality of additional facets for the package, define a set of cutting instructions based on the dimensions for the first facet and the dimensions for the additional facets; and instruct an automated package generation device to apply the cutting instructions to create a package flat. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20)
