Problems of packing an arbitrary collection of rectangular pieces into an open-ended, rectangular bin so as to minimize the height achieved by any piece are considered. This problem has numerous applications in operations research and studies of computer operation. Efficient approximation algorithms are derived and their limitations are studies. Worst-case bounds are derived on the performance of the packings they produce.
