Company profile
researched Sep 2026Boxologic (BOXOLOGIC.COM, operating under the corporate name DOME ZERO Inc.) is a Boston, Massachusetts company developing robotic right-size packaging technology for e-commerce fulfillment. The company's stated premise is that the average shipped e-commerce box contains 40% void space, which drives a minimum 15% increase in corrugated cardboard use, a minimum 60% increase in void filler use, and a minimum 20% increase in transportation cost.
The product is described as a robotic box-on-demand solution that instantly creates the right-size box for each order, in any size, with a minimal equipment footprint and using a single SKU of corrugated fiberboard. Gust classifies the company in robotics and lists its stage as product in development; aVenture classifies it under hardware with an automation technology focus and packaging as its main product.
Founding story
Boxologic was founded in Boston, Massachusetts in 2016 (July 2016 per Gust) by Yildiray Sager, who is listed as the company's team member on its Gust profile. Professor Alexander H. Slocum of the MIT Department of Mechanical Engineering is listed as an advisor, alongside Joseph Estrella.
Business model
Boxologic develops a robotic, box-on-demand system intended for e-commerce fulfillment operations, producing right-size boxes at the point of packing. Operating from a single SKU of corrugated fiberboard, the approach targets the consumables and freight costs borne by fulfillment operators rather than selling pre-made packaging inventory. Gust lists the company as a C-corporation with its product in development.
aVenture characterizes the company's revenue model as transactional.
Traction
Boxologic was selected as one of 12 finalists in the 2019 Ingram Micro/MassChallenge Comet Competition from over 300 applicants, completed the Techstars: STANLEY accelerator in 2019, and is listed as an active Stanley Ventures portfolio company. Gust lists its product as still in development.
Latest developments

Market position
Boxologic is an early-stage, venture-backed company; aVenture lists its stage as seed with two employees and identifies BoxC, Two Boxes, Boox, and Kubox as similar companies. Gust describes the company's stage as product in development with one employee.
The system is positioned around creating boxes on demand in any size at the point of fulfillment, requiring a minimal footprint and only one SKU of corrugated fiberboard, in contrast with fulfillment operations that select from pre-made box sizes and compensate for the resulting void space with filler material.
Technology
The core technology is a robot that instantly forms a right-size box for each e-commerce order. It is designed to work from a single SKU of corrugated fiberboard and to occupy a minimal footprint, eliminating the need to stock multiple pre-made box sizes and reducing void filler use.

Its participation in the Ingram Micro/MassChallenge Comet Competition was oriented toward IT channel commercialization, with finalists receiving go-to-market funding and access to corporate partners, and it has been supported by the Techstars: STANLEY accelerator and Stanley Ventures.
