Method & caveats
- Orientation-grid method: identical cartons, best of 6 orientations, no rotation mixing — the standard estimate for uniform cartons.
- Watch the weight: limited to 4,500 kg — heavy cartons may hit the weight cap before the space runs out.
- Mixed carton sizes pack differently — use the interactive 3D planner for real mixed loads.
