Why PackCalc

Packaging decisions are connected.
Your tools shouldn't be isolated.

Save 2-4 hours per project by not rebuilding calculations. Change your carton, and see the impact on your pallet instantly.

Sound familiar?

Fragmented tools, manual errors, and lost time.

There's a better way. One where every packaging decision connects to the next.

01 ยท What You Gain

Quantified Value

2-4 hours saved

per project

Stop rebuilding the same calculations. Pick up work from 10 months ago and modify for new requirements.

Instant cascade

updates

Change your carton dimensions, and the case config, shipper strength, and pallet efficiency update with it.

Audit-ready

exports

PDF reports with cited methods. Every assumption inline, every output traceable to a standard.

Institutional

memory

Projects stay organized. Revisit designs, see what changed, and understand why decisions were made.

02 ยท The Workflow

One continuous flow

Every decision carries forward. Change your carton dimensions, and the case config, shipper strength, and pallet efficiency update with it.

Carton Builder preview

Carton Builder

Carton Builder starts with your product

Define your primary packaging with research-based FEFCO style recommendations. Your carton choice flows directly into case configurations downstream.

Case Builder preview

Case Builder

Case Builder turns cartons into optimized shippers

Pack cartons into cases with optimal orientations and DIM weight calculations. Case dimensions carry forward to shipper specs and pallet patterns.

Shipper/Box Builder preview

Shipper/Box Builder

Define the perfect shipper

Lock in FEFCO styles, board grades, and dimensions. Specs connect directly to strength validation and pallet planning.

Box Strength preview

Box Strength

Box Strength tests stack height before the chamber does

McKee/ECT calculations with humidity and time derating. Validate your shipper survives the supply chain before committing.

Pallet Calculator preview

Pallet Calculator

Pallet Calculator plans the load and its 3D proof

Generate and compare pallet patterns with 3D visualization. See how your upstream carton and case choices affect pallet efficiency.

Load Stability preview

Load Stability

Test planning ties it all together

Check tilt stability using center-of-gravity geometry. Validate that your pallet load will survive transit before it ships.

03 ยท Proof in Practice

Solved before it ships

"Can we downsize the shipper?"

Ran box strength with real storage conditions. Found the current grade had margin to spare, saving material cost without risk.

Open Box Strength

"How many fit on a pallet?"

Tested three case configurations and compared pallet efficiency side by side. Picked the layout that cut one truck per month.

Open Pallet Calculator

"Will this survive transit?"

Checked load stability before the first shipment. Flagged a weak orientation and adjusted wrap spec in minutes, not after a claim.
