Advanced Cubing Options
Packsize’s cubing is capable of handling several advance cubing options to further reduce carton sizes or aid in proper packing of items requiring special considerations. These are item parameters that may be added to the Item object.
CanNest
Items that are the same flagged with this attribute can fit inside one another (e.g. bowls).
Field | Data Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
CanNest | Boolean | No | Whether the item can be nested with other like items (default is false) |
NestGrowthDimension1 | Float | No | Incremental increase in mm or in. of adding one additional item (default is 0) |
NestGrowthDimension2 | Float | No | Incremental increase in mm or in. of adding one additional item (default is 0) |
NestGrowthDimension3 | Float | No | Incremental increase in mm or in. of adding one additional item (default is 0) |
NestMaxDimension1 | Integer | No | Max number nested product in Dimension1 (default is 0) |
NestMaxDimension2 | Integer | No | Max number nested product in Dimension2 (default is 0) |
NestMaxDimension3 | Integer | No | Max number nested product in Dimension3 (default is 0) |
CanContain
Items with voids that can fit other dissimilar products into the void spaces.
Field | Data Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
CanContain | Boolean | No | Whether the item can contain other items (default is false) |
ContainDimension1 | Float | No | Interior void of Dimension1 in mm or in.; must be less than product dimension (default is 0) |
ContainDimension2 | Float | No | Interior void of Dimension2 in mm or in.; must be less than product dimension (default is 0) |
ContainDimension3 | Float | No | Interior void of Dimension3 in mm or in.; must be less than product dimension (default is 0) |
Layering/Stacking
Restricts products from being placed above or below the flagged product.
Field | Data Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
IsSingleLayer | Boolean | No | When true, the item must be on a single layer, no products allowed above or below target product (default is false) |
Orientation
Restricts the product from being rotated when finding an optimal solution for the order being packed; always locks on Dimension3 (generally the vertical, height axis).
Field | Data Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
OrientationLocked | Boolean | No | When true, the item cannot be rotated (default is false) |
Item-Level Padding
Allows for flagged products to have additional padding added to the base dimensions allowing the product to be wrapped with padding material to protect the product in shipping.
Field | Data Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
RequiresPadding | Boolean | No | When true, adds padding to the product dimensions (default is false). |
UseDefaultPadding | Boolean | No | When true, adds the padding amount set in PackNet DIM UI (default is false) |
Padding | Float | No | Padding amount to be added to product dimensions (default is false) |
PaddedDimensions | Array | No | Length, width, and height of products plus the padding amount in mm or in. (default is 0) |
