Response

The API returns a JSON response containing the optimized packing solution with precise coordinates for each item:

  • Item positions (X, Y, Z coordinates)
  • Container dimensions
  • List of unfit items that couldn't be packed
  • Container index for each packed item (useful for multi-container scenarios)
{
      "SelectedContainer": {
        "Width": 200,
        "Length": 140,
        "Height": 100
      },
      "ItemsNotPut": [],  // List of items that couldn't fit in any container
      "ItemsPut": [
        {
          "Item": {
            "Width": 90,
            "Length": 70,
            "Height": 15,
            "TagOrColor": "blue",
            "Quantity": 1
          },
          "Coord": {
            "X": 0,
            "Y": 0,
            "Z": 0
          },
          "ContainerIndex": 0  // Index of the container this item is packed in
        },
        // ... more items with their positions ...
        {
          "Item": {
            "Width": 30,
            "Length": 10,
            "Height": 15,
            "TagOrColor": "green",
            "Quantity": 1
          },
          "Coord": {
            "X": 180,
            "Y": 0,
            "Z": 0
          },
          "ContainerIndex": 0  // Index of the container this item is packed in
        }
      ]
    }

Note: All dimensions should be in the same unit (e.g., centimeters or inches). The API returns only coordinate data - visualization must be handled by the client application. The ContainerIndex field helps identify which container an item is packed in when optimizing multiple containers.

3DPACK.ING isn't just a container loading simulator; it also serves as a truck stacking calculator, a 3D bin packing software, and a packing simulator for various cargo. From shipping containers to standard trailers—maximize your load space with ease.

Frequently Asked Questions

How can AI improve my container or truck packing efficiency?

By leveraging advanced algorithms, 3DPACK.ING automatically arranges your items to maximize available space in any container or trailer. This AI-driven approach minimizes wasted capacity and reduces freight costs for businesses of all sizes.

Can 3DPACK.ING help me reduce overall shipping costs?

Yes. Our optimization engine ensures containers and trucks are packed as efficiently as possible, often lowering shipping expenses by reducing unused space, consolidating loads, and minimizing the need for multiple shipments.

What makes 3DPACK.ING different from other container loading or truck stacking software?

Unlike basic calculators, 3DPACK.ING uses state-of-the-art algorithms and 3D visualizations, supports AI-based packing orientations, handles special constraints like upright-only items, and allows up to 40 containers or trucks to be optimized simultaneously.

Is simulated annealing effective for cargo optimization?

Absolutely. Simulated annealing is a proven metaheuristic that searches for the optimal (or near-optimal) configuration of items. Our advanced version adapts to real-world constraints, ensuring high-quality packing solutions for various cargo types.

Does 3DPACK.ING offer a free trial or no-cost version?

Yes! Both our AI Mode ($8/month) and Pro Mode ($49/month) plans include a 7-day free trial. Simply sign up and start using all features immediately - you won't be charged until after your trial period ends.

How do I manage fragile or high-value items with 3DPACK.ING?

Our system accommodates special handling requirements such as "Keep Upright," ensuring delicate or expensive cargo remains in the correct orientation. You can also specify heavier items to be placed at the bottom.

What industries benefit most from 3DPACK.ING's AI-based shipping optimization?

Any business that regularly ships goods—from e-commerce to freight forwarding—can benefit. 3DPACK.ING optimizes space usage in retail, manufacturing, 3PL, warehousing, and other logistics-heavy industries.

Can I share my 3D container or truck layout with colleagues or clients?

Yes. Once your packing solution is generated, simply copy the URL from the address bar. Anyone with the link can view your 3D packing visualization without needing to log in.

Does 3DPACK.ING support metric and imperial units?

Yes. Our platform accommodates both metric (centimeters, meters) and imperial (inches, feet) units, making it flexible for global businesses.

Is integration possible with my warehouse or freight management system?

Absolutely. We offer an API (including a Swagger endpoint) for seamless integration, allowing you to incorporate our container or truck loading algorithms directly into your existing supply chain workflows.
