Example
Space length: 120 cm Space width: 80 cm Space height: 100 cm Item length: 30 cm Item width: 20 cm Item height: 25 cm Uniform-grid item count: 64 Item length orientation · cm: 30 Item width orientation · cm: 20 Item height orientation · cm: 25 Volume use · percent: 100
Questions & answers
What does Packing Box Capacity Planner calculate?
Count axis-aligned identical boxes in a rectangular space using all six orientations.
Which units should I enter?
Space length uses cm. Space width uses cm. Space height uses cm. Item length uses cm. Item width uses cm. Item height uses cm. Convert values to these units before calculating.
Which formula does it use?
Uniform-grid estimate = floor(L/a)floor(W/b)floor(H/c); mixed packing is not solved.
What does the included example show?
Space length: 120 cm; Space width: 80 cm; Space height: 100 cm; Item length: 30 cm; Item width: 20 cm; Item height: 25 cm. Result: Uniform-grid item count = 64; Item length orientation · cm = 30; Item width orientation · cm = 20; Item height orientation · cm = 25; Volume use · percent = 100.
Can I compare different settings?
Yes. Save a scenario, change the inputs and save another result. Up to five scenarios are compared in this tab; they disappear when you reload or leave.
Can I export the calculation?
Copy the JSON report or download JSON and CSV with inputs, result labels and numeric values. Processing uses local JavaScript; no calculation request is sent to our server. Displayed values use up to 10 significant digits; exports retain JavaScript numeric precision.
