Abstract
An order fulfillment system is described that includes a carton and a mover configured to carry the carton throughout the system. The carton is a preformed, five-sided container with flanges extending outwardly from edges thereof. The mover includes a depression in a top surface thereof that nestably receives the carton therein. The mover may include a vacuum system to aid retention of the carton therein. The mover and carton may include indicia to enable identification and tracking thereof throughout the fulfillment process. A lidding process applies a lid that is adhered to the flanges of the carton and includes identifying indicia thereon. The system provides identification and verification of items placed in the carton and can be easily integrated into existing manual and automated fulfillment systems. A manual system allows a user to manually pick and load cartons and attach a carton lid via an adhesive.
