Abstract
A shipment container may be designed to provide information similar to retail packaging on the inside surfaces of the shipment container while providing customizable exterior surfaces. The interior surfaces may include content, graphics, text, and/or other information related to the contents of the shipment container. Initially, the exterior surfaces of the shipment container may be left primarily blank in anticipation of a later printing of customized graphics for a customer by a merchant or fulfillment center (FC) that prepares the shipment container for shipment to a customer. During processing of the shipment container, the merchant or FC may analyze the shipment container (e.g., size, shape, etc.) and the order of the item to determine custom graphics to print on the shipment container. The custom graphics may be selected in real-time or near real-time to enable up-to-date information, such as advertisements, notifications, and messages.
