CAD-based Packaging Planning Software for Industrial Teams

Reduce manual packaging trials by using CAD-based digital packaging trials.

Pakera helps packaging planning teams create, compare, validate, and document packaging concepts based on CAD data, container types, packing methods, smart checks, and digital packaging instructions.

Digital packaging planning replaces most manual packaging trials

up to 95%

potential reduction in manual packaging trials by validating packaging concepts digitally as soon as CAD files are available.

up to 82%

faster creation of packaging instructions by using simulation results, packaging data, smart checks, and predefined notes as a structured starting point.

to simulate and compare packaging scenarios by utilization, gross weight, chargeable weight, transport volume, void space, packaging material and cost impact.

*Based on internal Pakera simulation scenarios and qualitative feedback from early adopters.

Digital Packaging Concept Development

Stop starting every packaging concept from scratch.

Packaging planners often spend too much time searching for suitable containers, testing packing methods, estimating fill rates, and coordinating with logistics, quality, procurement, and production. Pakera helps turn CAD data, container standards, and packing logic into a structured packaging planning workflow.

Create packaging concepts based on your CAD part and defined requirements.

Compare containers, packing methods, fill rates, and feasibility.

Reuse standards instead of relying on scattered experience.

Digital Pack Trials Before Physical Testing

Reduce manual pack trials and late packaging corrections.

While practical packaging trials are valuable, they are time-consuming, resource-intensive, and often do not take place until components already exist and making changes involves high costs. Pakera helps packaging design teams digitally evaluate packaging concepts in advance, so that unsuitable containers, poor space utilization, and practical problems can be identified early on.

Validate packaging ideas before physical samples are available.

Detect unsuitable containers and poor fill rates earlier.

Reducing delays through packaging planning shortly before SOP.

Collecting Feedback for Packaging Instructions

Packaging Instructions and Approval Workflow

Create cleaner packaging instructions with less manual effort.

Packaging instructions are often created after the planning work in separate tools, which creates duplicate work, version issues, and unclear approvals. Pakera connects cartonization, packaging optimization, documentation, reports, and approval workflows so validated packaging concepts can move faster into operational use.

Generate packaging instructions from simulation results.

Document decisions, versions, and approval status from all parties - internal & external.

Share clear instructions with logistics, procurement, quality, production, and suppliers or customers.

Trusted by leading industrial companies

How Pakera supports Packaging Planning Teams

Check packaging concepts digitally long before physical pack trials.

Use CAD-based simulation to identify packaging concepts that are likely to work, concepts that need adjustment, and concepts that should be excluded before physical testing begins.

Test different packing methods such as bulk goods, rigid layers, flexible layers, stacking, compartments, and paired parts.

Test different container dimensions, container types and even container combinations.

Identify poor utilization, unsuitable containers, and weight-related issues earlier.
