This paper proposes an improved BL-algorithm for genetic algorithm of the orthogonal packing of rectangles. Some improvements on the fitness function of genetic algorithm for the orthogonal packing of rectangles are also suggested. Solutions of two numerical examples show the effectiveness of these improvements.
