Using AI for Optimizing Packing Design and Reducing Cost in E-Commerce

Hayder Zghair and Rushi Ganesh Konathala · 2025-07-04

What it covers

This research explores how artificial intelligence (AI) can be leveraged to optimize packaging design, reduce operational costs, and enhance sustainability in e-commerce. As packaging waste and shipping inefficiencies grow alongside global online retail demand, traditional methods for determining box size, material use, and logistics planning have become economically and environmentally inadequate.
