CMC Packaging Automation, a global supplier of sustainable, advanced packaging solutions, today announced the launch of the CMC Genesys Compact, a state-of-the-art addition to its portfolio of right-sized packaging technology. Developed in response to the growing demand for compact, efficient, and easily deployable systems, the CMC Genesys Compact offers a scalable solution designed to seamlessly integrate into both greenfield and brownfield environments, making it an ideal option also for businesses looking to upgrade through automation existing facilities with minimal disruption.
Capable of producing right-sized corrugated boxes at a rate of up to 500 pieces per hour, this new system is tailored for packing both single and multi-line orders without the need for void fillers, significantly reducing material waste and providing a boost to operational efficiency. Unlike its predecessor, the CMC Genesys, this new model does not require the CMC Vary-Tote for product handling. Instead, items are precisely scanned directly on the inlet conveyor, sized, and securely packed in custom boxes. Optional features include easy-opening strips and resealable options to enhance the unboxing experience for customers.
Advanced Material and Compact Design
The machine supports corrugated materials from different sources: Z-fold, cut sheet channel and the innovative CMC Wave-Line system, which combines a kraft paper liner with open flute corrugate. With a compact footprint of 44 sqm, the Genesys Compact offers unparalleled flexibility, allowing it to be easily relocated or reconfigured for future projects, making it a versatile choice for dynamic fulfillment operations and offering scalability and long-term investment value.
Enhancing Sustainability and Compliance
The introduction of the CMC Genesys Compact aligns with the upcoming European Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR) as well as the EPR and similar packaging laws emerging across U.S. states such as the 2021 New Jersey’s Recycled Content Law or the 2022 California’s Packaging EPR Law, supporting companies in meeting stricter sustainability standards. The system efficiency in eliminating void fillers and optimizing box sizes helps businesses significantly reduce empty space and their environmental impact, contributing to a more sustainable packaging future.
“Retailers, e-commerce players and logistics companies are increasingly looking for flexible solutions to right-size their packaging and streamline fulfilment processes. Automation is the key to achieving these objectives, optimizing operational costs and footprint,” said Luigi Russo, CEO of CMC Packaging Automation. “Automation addresses labour shortages and rising costs, providing scalability during peak demand periods, ensuring reliable performances.”
“Retailers and logistics providers are under immense pressure to optimize their packaging processes while meeting new sustainability standards,” continued Luigi Russo. “CMC Genesys Compact provides an innovative solution that not only complies with these new global requirements but also helps reduce the environmental impact of packaging. This machine is a testament to our commitment to driving sustainable automation solutions for our partners.”

The machine will also be showcased at the upcoming LogiMAT 2025 and ProMat 2025 exhibitions, where attendees can experience firsthand how CMC’s latest innovation is setting new benchmarks in automated packaging.
