Run a structured review with every simulation

Run a structured review with every simulation

Each Pakera simulation evaluates the packaging concept across eight technical, operational and sustainability-related areas. The Smart Checks help teams identify critical values, unrealistic assumptions and topics that require closer professional review.

Run 8 Smart Checks

Every packaging simulation automatically runs 8 built-in smart checks across safety, compliance, efficiency, and sustainability. They provide a structured orientation for evaluating results and help teams make more informed packaging decisions.*

Chargeable Weight Check

Chargeable weight is calculated to support more accurate shipping estimates.

Container Load Check

Checks whether the total load stays within the allowed limits of the selected container.

Operator Safety Check

Checks whether the packaging setup supports safe and ergonomic manual handling.

Transport Safety Check

Checks whether the packaging design can be transported using typical modes of transport.

Warehouse Safety Check

Checks whether the packaging design complies with the permissible limits and can be used with standard storage systems.

Plausibility Check

Checks whether the simulation result is realistic and falls within the expected range of results.

Transport Efficiency Check

Evaluates transport efficiency to help reduce empty space and avoidable shipping cost impact.

Sustainability Check

Assesses material efficiency, reusability, and overall environmental impact of the packaging concept.

*Pakera is a decision-support software. Smart Check results are based on the available simulation data and the limits configured by the user or company. A passed check does not certify legal compliance and does not replace physical testing, workplace risk assessments, customer-specific validation or professional engineering judgement. The final decision must be made by a qualified and authorised person. Pakera does not independently verify the information entered and is not liable for any damages.

Quick Payback

Worth it after just 2–3 hours saved

Pakera pays for itself fast. If your team saves just 2–3 hours a month on packaging calculations, physical packing tests, estimating parts per container, freight cost checks, packaging instructions, spreadsheet work, supplier alignment, or internal back-and-forth, the subscription more than covers itself - without needing a big ROI project to justify it.
