Arrange items in the most space-efficient manner to reduce packed air. Fewer cartons, lower shipping costs.
Make the most of your carrier rates, and pack according to the carrier incentive network.
Lower your carbon emissions by transporting smaller boxes and decrease your carton waste.

Human errors
Packers are only human and it is human not always to find the optimal combination.
Error 1: Packer selects a bigger box than necessary.
→ Result: too much air in the box + higher transport and packaging cost.
Error 2: The packer chooses a box that's too small. After attempting to fit the items inside, it becomes necessary to rearrange them in a larger box.
→ Result: loss of handling time + the packer will likely make more error1 mistakes in the future.
Pick to Box
The picker selects the box before starting his pick tour. During his pick tour he realizes a restack is needed in a smaller or bigger box.
Bigger box: Restack is always done.
→ Result: Handling time loss
Smaller box: No restack to avoid additional handling time.
→ Result: Too much air in the box
Important aspect: Optimize travel time/distance through the warehouse.

Take a look at the features and advantages of using cartonization software in your operations
Carriers provide incentives to align with their network capacity.
This results into
complex rates structures using weight, volumetric weight and a lot of surcharges (oversized, max weight, max volume, etc.).
Cost-efficient 3D cartonization exploits these carrier rates and selects the best option per order.
Packaging cost has risen by 30% & transport cost by 7%.
Negotiating carrier rates isn't enough anymore.
Lower transport cost
Less air transported
Less packaging material used
Frequently Asked Questions
Cartonization is the process of finding the optimal box configuration when shipping an order.
Cartonization maximizes cost savings in shipping and packing by optimizing the number of cartons used to fulfill an order.
Yes. If you’re interested in our cartonization solution, you can schedule a meeting for an API key here.
Yes. Our solutions are integrable into existing systems such as warehouse management systems (WMS), transportation management systems (TMS), and enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems.
No, cartonization is not the same as 3D bin packing, but they are related concepts that both involve optimizing the packing of products into containers.
Cartonization is focused on packing products into cartons or boxes for shipping, while 3D bin packing is focused on packing items into containers of arbitrary shapes and sizes, such as bins, pallets, or cargo holds.
Cartonization software optimizes the use of packaging materials, improves shipping efficiency, reduces labor costs, and enhances customer satisfaction.
To implement cartonization, you will need to provide product dimensions, weight, order information, packaging constraints, and potentially data related to your existing packing and shipping processes.
