“…In addition to academic studies, VSBPP has many applications in practical life. Some of those are containerization (Baldi et al., 2014; Anand and Guericke, 2020; Liu et al., 2021), co‐printing (Peeters and Degraeve, 2004; Kochetov and Kondakov, 2017), multi‐media storage systems (Xavier and Miyazawa, 2008), cutting (Eısemann, 1957; Chu and La, 2001; Belov and Scheithauer, 2002; Alves and de Carvalho, 2008; Bang‐Jensen and Larsen, 2012), multi‐core task partitioning (Sha et al., 2019), and machinery (Bang‐Jensen and Larsen, 2012). In the original version of VSBPP, only the items to be packed and the dimensions of the bins are taken into account.…”
