An apparatus includes a container for preservation of articles defining an atmospheric control mechanism that maintains an internal atmospheric composition within the container such that an interior cavity of the container that is devoid of various contaminants including UV radiation, dust, oxygen, water, atmospheric moisture (humidity), reactive oxygen species, airborne chemical pollutants and/or airborne chemicals not conducive to the longevity or preservation of the articles to be protected. As such, the container protects and preserves articles by preventing decay and deterioration of the articles due to light, temperature, dirt, mold, humidity, hydrolysis due to moisture in the air, and oxidation with exposure to air.

Warehouse automation and methods of sorting and sequencing garment items can be used to enhance efficiencies of order fulfillment processes. For example, this document describes warehouse automation of systems and methods for efficiently compiling store replenishment orders for garment items. The systems and methods make store replenishment of garment items highly efficient. In some examples, the systems and methods are focused on automation (e.g., using autonomous mobile robots that transport pods containing garment items) and arranging the garment items in store-ready containers that can be wheeled out directly into the retail area for efficient store replenishment.

A packaging for footwear of the boot type or in general for that footwear that have an extension that covers the user's calf and therefore have such a length that for their care, they need special shelves, where the footwear is not injured, such packaging takes care of, protects and allows to keep the footwear in good condition without damaging its quality. Among the significant advantages is that it allows the shelf to be used as a way to conserve footwear, it is ecological, because the way of transportation allows to give a second and main use as the protection of the footwear. With traditional packaging, much more cardboard is wasted or causes a large number of contaminants than if it is given a second use, and it also contaminates less, helping the environment.
