Smart packing (Packing Algo)

Setting

Description

(general)

Packing enabled
Enable usage of basic packing (for instance: add items without dims into one box)

Smart packing
Enable ability to use Packing Algo (Smart Packing). The only way Packing Algo works is if all items have dimensions and box sizes that are accurate.

Note

Smart Packing works only if if all items have dimensions and box sizes are accurate.

This setting enables the Smart Packing™ feature. ShipHawk displays the suggested box or pallet composition on the Proposed Shipment screen for each shipment order. This setting is required to begin using the Smart Packing™ feature.

Allow box telescoping – When this setting is enabled, Smart Packing will attempt to pack any oversized items with multiples of the same packing material to create a new custom packing material to pack the item. This process is called telescoping. The new telescoped box is still subject to the parcel weight limit of 150 lbs and any relevant dimension restrictions.

Allow boxes to be cut down – allow the Smart Packing™ algorithm to suggest creating cut down boxes. A cut down box is made by cutting along the seams of a box and folding the resulting flaps down to make a smaller carton. This suggestion is given when the smallest available box is still too large along one dimension. This setting is optional and must not be enabled for businesses that are unfamiliar with or not set up for cutting down boxes.

Avoid creation of custom box
Avoid creation of custom boxes by packing algorithm

Include material wrappers
Allow packing algorithm to add material wrappers (Bubble Wrap, Shrink Wrap)

Pallet edge offset

Minimum distance from item to edge of pallet; can be positive or negative. Default: 2

This is the amount of space we will leave around the edge of a pallet. Default is set to "2" which means that we will leave 2" inches of space around the entire pallet. This is the amount of space we will leave around the edge of a pallet. Default is set to "2" which means that we will leave 2" inches of space around the entire pallet. Example: 48x48x4 pallet with a 2" offset leaves 44x44x4 of packing space.

Max regular box aspect ratio

Default: 10.0

The maximum length-to-width ratio for a regular box.

Max spike box aspect ratio

Default: 40.0

A spike box is a box whose length-to-width ratio resembles a javelin or “spike.” Example: long tubes.

Min spike box aspect ratio

Default: 5.0

Spike item aspect ratio

Default: 10.0

Spike item min length

Default: 24.0

Smart packing simplified after

Number of items after which Smart packing will switch to a faster mode (when items rotated as LWH, and LWH only)

Example: 500

Palletize when weight exceeds

Palletize when weight (lbs) of items to be packaged exceeds the specified value.

Default: 70

Palletize when dimensional weight exceeds

Palletize when dimensional weight (lbs) of items to be packaged exceeds the specified value.

Default: 150

Palletize when package count exceeds

When algorithm produces more than the specified number of boxes, the app forces using palletized version and skips package version.

Disable packing alg qty

Sets the maximum number of items that can be fed to the packing algorithm. If exceeded, then all items are put into single package with accurate weight. (If undefined, uses the global default.)
