Definition of Cartonization

Paccurate has built a powerful 3D cartonization engine which leverages complex business rules, item and carton limits and dimensions, and incorporates a patented cost-awareness layer which drives carton choice decisions. This engine can be accessed by end-users in two different (but related!) products: the Paccurate API and PacSimulate.

Paccurate has released a new simulation model for PacSimulate, that allows shippers to quickly evaluate the transportation cost and environmental impacts of adopting paper mailers. In collaboration with Georgia Pacific (GP), PacSimulate users can now quickly analyze the impact of adding GP’s popular EarthKraft mailer to their packaging lineup. This is in addition to the dozens of available simulation models already available, which were used to analyze 14.5 million shipments last year.
