Packaging material is folded around an item. First punches are actuated to pierce through the packaging material at a first location, and first dies are actuated to receive a portion of individual first punches of the first punches. Second punches are actuated to pierce through the packaging material at a second location, and second dies are actuated to receive a portion of individual second punches of the second punches. A first press compresses the packaging material at the first location, and a second press compresses the packaging material at the second location.

Sealing mechanism with punches and dies for securing packages

Systems and methods are disclosed for automated containers for packing of multi-item packages. In one embodiment, an example system may include an automated container having a first wireless charging coil, a first moveable sidewall, a second moveable sidewall, and a first actuator configured to move at least one of the first moveable sidewall or the second moveable sidewall. The system may include a controller configured to determine a first size of a first item, determine a second size of a second item, determine a first position for the first moveable sidewall based at least in part on the first size and the second size, determine a second position for the second moveable sidewall at least in part on the first size and the second size, cause the first moveable sidewall to move to the first position, and cause the second moveable sidewall to move to the second position.
