Verified Mathematical Model & Formulation

Capacity = (Carton L / Item L) × (Carton W / Item W) × (Carton H / Item H)

Tests all 6 geometric 3D rotation orientations of an individual product within the internal master shipping carton dimensions to find the maximum yield.

Configurable Parameters & Standard Units

  • Product Length: (Default: 10 cm)
  • Product Width: (Default: 6 cm)
  • Product Height: (Default: 15 cm)
  • Master Carton Length: (Default: 50 cm)
  • Master Carton Width: (Default: 30 cm)
  • Master Carton Height: (Default: 30 cm)

Standard Worked Example & Practical Verification

Scenario: Packing product boxes 8 cm × 5 cm × 15 cm into master carton 40 cm × 30 cm × 30 cm.

Calculated Solution
60 Units per Master Carton

Practical Takeaway: Zero dead air space inside the master carton prevents transit crushing.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is carton space efficiency critical?

Eliminating empty void space inside shipping cartons prevents box collapse during pallet stacking and reduces international freight costs.
