Optipacker
Optipacker is a browser-based packaging planning workspace for packaging engineers, logistics planners and purchasing teams. It uses part dimensions or imported STL models, quantities, containers, permitted rotations and clearances to calculate layouts that users can inspect in 3D and by layer. Users can estimate loose-fill capacity, configure pallet loads against height, weight and load-zone limits, and derive packaging inserts from an arrangement. Costing tools model returnable packaging pool requirements, operating and replacement costs, amortization and payback. Teams can use packaging bills of materials for demand planning and purchasing. A separate Merchant REST API provides container recommendations for storefront and fulfillment workflows. Public packing-planning tools are available without an account; shape-aware packing is still being tested and is not generally available.

Cube-IQ
MagicLogic provides software for every type of load planning, Cartonization and Palletization, based on twenty-five years of R&D. All software is developed in-house using powerful algorithms capable of meeting the most complex loading rules and requirements. Cube-IQ is MagicLogic’s state-of-the-art load optimization program, covering more operational requirements than any other software. Its complete database engine is built-in and is full SQL and ODBC-compliant. Cube-IQ is fully interactive, allowing drag and drop editing. It selects the right containers, cubing out loads with clear 3D diagrams. BlackBox is MagicLogic’s flagship product, providing high-speed Cartonization and advanced Mixed Palletization, including robotics. BlackBox is easy to integrate and is customizable to meet specific requirements. It loads ULDs, rolls, cylinders, tubes, and L-shapes with maximum efficiency. BlackBox adheres to complex loading rules, product configurations and groupings.

CubeMaster
It calculates the “how-to” load the trucks, containers, pallets, rail cars, boxes, and ULDs with single and mixed-size products. Finds the best combination of multiple vehicle types to maximize the space utilizations of the vehicles to load mixed cargoes with different sizes and quantities. Perfect for creating multiple product load plans for pre-packing unitload. Also calculates single full pallet or mixed pallet loads. Multiple pallet types are calculated for both loads. These pallet loads can then be used in building container loads. Calculates the best use of multiple air pallets and containers including LD and ULD type. It also be used to calculate the cost of the load with pivot factor while maximizing the space utilization of an aircraft. Finds optimal number of vehicles to load all orders of different size cartons or pallets. It also considers a unitization of the cargoes before vehicle loading.

Picador
treeDiM is a CAD and PLM* software editor for design packaging and pos/display. Picador, the CAD software, is used in 55 countries by over 4500 users (packaging manufacturers, digital printers, industrial users or trademark companies, designers). PLMPack, the collaborative platform, is used worldwide by over 15.000 users. Our innovative project for a collaborative ecodesign platform PLM Pack provides many software modules like : PackLIB, a set of libraries of parametric packaging models. StackBuilder, for palletizing, case packing, and truck loading optimization. PackStress to calculate packing and stacking resistance. Optimus launches the new module of Packaging Estimating with automatic calculation of imposition of printing, die-cutting, case packing and palletizing, getting packaging manufacturers to meet all the increasingly demanding requirements of their customers, achieving, reducing the time-to-market.
