An online chocolate company wants to develop an automated system to enable them to become more eco friendly as well as save time and money. They have invested in a range of packing of specific sizes and want to develop a software system to make maximum use of these for their products. Their aim is to give the packing staff a dear set of instructions for each order, to make the packing process more efficient and timely. The constraints of the system are as follows:

1. Single items should be packed in bubble packs where possible.

2. A gift card is optional and free on all orders and should go inside the packaging and will fit in all delivery boxes and bubble packs taking up minimal space.

3. Orders over f70 receive a free "champagne truffles" which should be included in the delivery.

4. Each order should be packed into the least number of bubble packs and/or boxes as possible to keep costs low and reduce packaging waste.

5. For the holiday season the company are running a special discount on the purchase of any three selection boxes for f65.
