What does the product need?
Develop carton dimensions, explore case arrangements, specify shipping cases, and assess strength. Keep the input choices and saved results available for the next review.
About PackCalc
Our experience spans packaging, logistics, and supply chain operations. We built PackCalc to connect the calculations, specifications, and decisions that carry a product from its first pack to its final pallet.

Why we built it
Working across packaging, logistics, and supply chain operations, we kept encountering the same problem: important decisions were spread across spreadsheets, specifications, and email. When a requirement changed, teams had to reconstruct the context before they could move forward.
A carton dimension becomes a case arrangement. That arrangement informs a shipping case, which determines the pallet load. Yet the work often lives in separate files, with the reasoning between each step left behind.
PackCalc brings these decisions into one place. Start with a calculation, save a useful result, and connect the next step when you need to. A single tool can answer a single question. A Packaging System can keep a broader piece of work together.
A shared basis for the work
What does the product need?
Develop carton dimensions, explore case arrangements, specify shipping cases, and assess strength. Keep the input choices and saved results available for the next review.
How will the load travel?
Compare pallet arrangements, loading quantities, and space utilization. Review height, weight, and stability assumptions alongside the packaging that creates the load.
What changes across the system?
Understand how cartons, shipping cases, and pallets relate. Use saved work, quantity planning, and reports to discuss requirements with colleagues and make the next decision with context.
How we approach the work
Useful software makes the basis of a decision easier to understand, review, and carry forward.
Review dimensions, units, constraints, and calculation assumptions. Our methods reference explains supported engineering approaches and where their limits matter. Calculated estimates support professional judgment and appropriate physical testing.
