Fold It, Tape It, Ship It
Fast Company reports about an invention that might eliminate almost all of the wasted space in a cardboard box.
How brilliant is this? Designer Patrick Sung’s Universal Packaging System is meant to precisely fit anything that needs shipping. The individual cardboard sheets are scored with a triangle pattern that can either be fitted to an oddly shaped object, or formed into a custom fitted cardboard box.
Potentially massive savings would result from all the extra shipping space saved–cutting down on how much space each package takes up, and therefore the number of gas-guzzling trucks needed during shipping.

Ha! It’s about time they came up with a ‘box’ that can be customized to any size. That’s pretty neat. I know I’ve mailed a few things that I could have used that for.

Interesting concept. This doesn’t seem very stackable. I can see that being a problem for UPS truck drivers trying to quickly load all their packages on to the truck for tranport.
