Step 1: Enter Item Details

Enter the information for each item you wish to pack and then click the green + button. Click the red X button to remove an item.

You may also click the “Add Commonly Used Product Box Sizes” button to quickly add 6 items to the list.

If you do not have a weight for your product or do not wish to evaluate based on weight, enter 0.

For non-cuboid-shaped items, use the largest exterior dimensions of your package.

Step 2: Enter Container Details

Enter the information for each container you wish to create a packing configuration and then click the green + button. Click the red X button to remove an item.

You can also click the “Add Commonly Used Shipper Sizes” to quickly add 6 shippers to the list.

Packing configuration is calculated based on the size entered so be sure to enter the interior dimensions of your shipper.

Step 3: Click “Create Packing Configuration”

The “Create Packing Configuration” button creates a packing configuration for each of the shippers you entered in step 2. The system will attempt to fit all of the products from step 1 into each shipper and then display the output from those caclulations.

Click the "View Results" button to display the 3D model of the container. This will allow you to see the system-generated packing configuration.

Items highlighted in green meet the specified criteria.
- % Container Used - the packing configuration is using less than the specified target fill %.
- Weight - the total weight of the packed items does not exceed the shipper capacity.
- Items Packed/Unpacked - All items were successfully packed into the shipper.

Step 4: View Results

The results pane shows a 3D image of the shipper and will virtually pack out the box when you click the play button.

Clicking the forward or backward arrows packs or unpacks one item at a time. Clicking the play button starts the packing animation. You can control the speed with the slider on the right. The fast-forward button fills the box and the rewind button clears the box.

You can also click-and-drag the box to view it from different angles or scroll to zoom in/out.
