Workflow Steps
Use more container volume with less packaging effort
Load robust parts loosely into the container and use the available space without complex inserts or fixed packing patterns. Pakera shows how many parts fit, how the total weight develops and whether bulk packing remains practical within your defined limits.
Make every pack stable, repeatable and easy to standardize
Arrange parts in clearly defined, fixed layers so operators can reproduce the same packing pattern every time. Rigid layers create predictable part positions and a controlled process from initial packing to line-side removal.
Reduce empty space without losing a structured pack
Adapt the arrangement within each layer to the actual part geometry. Flexible layers help use irregular shapes more efficiently while keeping the load ordered and easier to handle than loose bulk packing.
Turn available height into more parts per container
Stack compatible parts vertically to use container height instead of leaving valuable volume unused. Pakera helps evaluate capacity, orientation, weight and stack constraints before the concept moves into physical testing.
Give every sensitive part its own protected position
Place each component in a separate cell to reduce movement, contact and mix-ups during handling and transport. Compartment packing creates a highly repeatable packaging standard when protection and process reliability matter more than maximum fill density.
Keep matching components together from packing to assembly
Arrange two corresponding parts as one defined packing unit, such as left-hand and right-hand variants. This reduces searching, sorting and picking effort while making production-side handling more intuitive.
Depending on the part and the application, some packaging methods are more suitable than others.
