Also called: Logistics · 물류·운송

An industry that stores, transports, and handles goods. For cutting & packing the key stage is loading: filling boxes into a container or truck — Container Loading — is the industrial case of 3D Bin Packing, maximizing volume utilization while respecting practical constraints such as load stability, weight limits, and unloading order. Stacking boxes on a pallet (pallet loading) belongs to the same methodological family.
