Abstract
The present disclosure relates generally to systems and methods for creating protective packaging. A device comprises a processor and a memory. The memory contains computer readable instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to receive, from an external sensor, data that is indicative of physical characteristics for an object to be packaged, determine a type of object to which the object to be packaged corresponds based on the physical characteristics, select one or more type of packaging elements for packaging the object based on the type of object, and cause a packaging machine to create packaging elements of the selected type.
