CHICAGO - eTradeWire -- Pregis^®, a global supplier of protective packaging, mailing and bagging solutions and flexible packaging, launches the Pregis Sharp^® InfinX rightsized mailing system, an on-demand packaging platform that produces more precisely sized mailers for each order. This rightsizing on-demand solution is a strategic expansion of the Pregis Sharp portfolio of automated mailing & bagging solutions, designed for customers with variable SKU mix looking to accelerate throughput while reducing packaging material consumption.

For businesses shipping a diverse mix of products, selecting the right packaging is an ongoing operational challenge. Third-party logistics providers and retailers managing highly varied SKU mix such as beauty, wellness, home goods, electronics and pet products must balance product protection, fulfillment efficiency and cost while ensuring each shipment is matched with the appropriate packaging solution.

Manual packing lines and single-format automation force a tradeoff between over-packaging to cover every product size and carrying inventory of multiple packaging sizes that occupy valuable warehouse space. Either way, the cost shows up as wasted material, added labor, unnecessary freight and, in some instances, extended producer responsibility (EPR) fees.

The Sharp InfinX systems run machinable-grade versions of Pregis EverTec^® and Pregis Poly Lite materials, extending two established Pregis mailer portfolios into rightsized fulfillment. With paper, poly and cushioned formats available operations can choose the option that best aligns with their performance, cost and sustainability objectives.

The system has been engineered to integrate into existing packing lines or anchor a new automation buildout. Its compact vertical footprint streamlines installation and Pregis provides on-site integration support throughout implementation.

Recipe-driven changeovers through the machine's control interface switch between materials without manual tooling, adapting the system across facility types, from established fulfillment centers to new or space-constrained operations. Because every mailer is built to fit the product, customers can benefit from lower total cost of ownership across material use, labor touches and freight with the InfinX solution.

"InfinX is an emerging platform we're building within the Sharp systems portfolio that pairs automation with advanced materials that are fit for purpose," said Tom Wetsch, Chief Innovation Officer at Pregis. "Our mission is to help companies achieve optimal performance, backed by a strong integrated services model that delivers for today's heightened expectations for operational excellence and customer experience. High-volume fulfillment companies rely on partners with expertise across every variable, from inbound goods and orders to outbound key performance indicators. That partnership is what has made Pregis a trusted brand in on-demand packaging systems."

Pregis installations follow a consultative process, from full line review through testing, validation and installation, backed by national service and support to maximize uptime and throughput. Pregis Sharp InfinX extends that model to end-to-end line integration.

"We were finding that more and more fulfillment operations are struggling to balance rising order volumes, broader SKU assortments and increasing pressure to control operational costs," said Rachell Slovik, New Product Development Director at Pregis. "InfinX is engineered to address those challenges by creating the exact sized mailers for every order. Drawing on expertise from across Pregis in mechatronics, material science and packaging operations, our team is developing solutions that reduce material consumption and waste, minimizes manual touches and lowers total operating costs."

Pregis will provide live demonstrations of the Pregis Sharp InfinX at Pack Expo International 2026, Oct. 18-21 at McCormick Place in Chicago, booth S-3874, where the new packaging machinery will run alongside the Sharp Lynx automated bagging system. Packaging decision-makers can schedule a demonstration at www.pregis.com/pack-expo.
