Multi-Packs

Question: Can you use Quick Pallet Maker to calculate multiple types of primary packages in a box?

Answer: Short answer: not yet. Long answer: yes, you can calculate multi-packs in a two-step process.

First, open a new Container Fill window and enter the box internal dimensions in the container dimensions slots. Then, create new boxes with the primary package dimensions and their amounts. Add the boxes to the list and check the "optimize sections" box in the bottom left section of the window and then click on the second tab. The result should show how the packages would look.

The second part of this procedure is to calculate the box arrangements in pallets by using a new document window starting from Box Dimensions.
