Worked on something similar, with similar constraints as to products not being able to be placed freely, for instance something heavy could crush something brittle. Also, dimension data is forever a problem. Additionally, that data doesn't reflect reality even when it's fairly accurate, since things are seldom perfect cuboids. So assuming that leaves lot of unused room in reality = not optimal. For instance something in a similar packaging to a bag of ships or dog food, is thinner in the ends than in the middle, and possibly malleable in shape. Also a real life constraint is that it has to be possible to actually pack. Expecting a packer to follow complicated instructions to a T for it to work, or else it wont fit, will never work. Additionally, things can arrive in a certain order, which needs to be accounted for if packing should happen before all items are ready. I think it's a cool problem to work on. So much to think about outside just the algorithmic perfect world scenario.
