AI-powered load planning
Turn your box list into a step-by-step 3D load plan that respects your own rules for stacking, weight and fragility.
Paste your box list. Free to try.
Six things the planner handles that a spreadsheet cannot.
“Pack 50 boxes of electronics, max 3 high, and 20 machinery parts in a 40ft container”
Describe the shipment in a sentence. Units, quantities and constraints are read out of it and filled into the form, so you can check the numbers before anything is packed.
2× 20ft + 1× 40ft, or 3× 20ft
Compare container mixes on utilisation and count, and see which combination actually holds the load rather than guessing at it.
The marker moves as you move the load
The balance point is drawn in the container and tracks every change you make, so an unstable arrangement is visible before it leaves the yard.
Wine boxes: max 2 high, 50 kg per stack
Set what may sit on what, how high it may go and how much weight a stack may carry. The solver treats those as constraints, not suggestions.
Move a box, watch the numbers change
The solver proposes; you decide. Move any box by hand and the utilisation, weight and balance figures follow it.
Upload a spreadsheet, or call the endpoint
Bring a whole inventory in from a spreadsheet, or drive the planner from your own system over HTTP and get a link to the 3D result back.
Three steps, and nothing to install.
“I need to pack 100 boxes of fragile electronics (60×40×30 cm, max 3 high) and 50 heavy machine parts (80×60×40 cm, keep at bottom) in 40ft containers”
No forms and no dropdowns. Describe the shipment the way you would tell a colleague.
A 3D load plan comes back with colour-coded items, the order they go in, and how much of the container each one uses.
Drag any box to test an alternative. Space and stability update as you move it, and the centre of gravity marker moves with the load.
An eight-minute walk through the whole thing.
Describe it, upload it, or call it from your own system.

Three of them, in their own words.
I cut our shipping costs by 40% in the first month. What used to take our team 2 hours of manual planning now takes 5 minutes. My CEO thinks I'm a logistics genius!
Optimizing container space is a major challenge, and 3dpack.ing solves it brilliantly. We've cut down our planning time significantly, and it has had a clear, positive impact on our shipping costs. It's an essential tool that keeps getting better.
I recognize game changing innovation when I see it. 3DPACK.ING represents a crucial leap forward in loading efficiency. This is the kind of optimization tool that can transform entire supply chain operations.
Pick the one closest to your job.
Container selection mode tests your items against several box sizes at once. Give it your SKU catalogue with dimensions and it reports the smallest box each order fits in, which is what brings dimensional weight charges and void fill down.
There is a REST API you can call from anything that speaks HTTP. When an order arrives, send the item list and you get a box recommendation and a link to the 3D result back. There are no ready-made storefront plugins today, so this is a small integration on your side rather than an install.
Mark an item as fragile and nothing will be stacked on it. You can go further and set rules per item — “wine bottles, maximum 2 high” or a weight ceiling for anything resting on a given box — and the solver treats those as hard constraints.
Incremental loading adds items to a partly loaded container without starting over, and the drag-and-drop editor lets the plan be rearranged by hand. Anyone with the link sees the current plan.
The 3D view shows where each item goes, colour-coded and numbered in loading order, and the printable report carries the same numbering. Most people find their way around it without being taught.
Import pick lists from Excel or over the API, and set the order items should be loaded in — back to front, bottom to top, or by a priority you assign per item. The plan comes out as step-by-step instructions in that order.
Give it the container types you can actually book and let it pack against all of them. You get the mix, the utilisation of each container and what is left over, so the comparison is made on the real load rather than on cubic metres.
The centre of gravity is drawn in the container as you arrange the load, so you can see the balance point move and catch an arrangement that would sit badly on the axle. Item weights are taken into account when the solver arranges the load in the first place.
Every calculation is saved with its utilisation, total weight and container mix, so you can look back over them and see how full you are actually shipping and where the leftover space keeps appearing.
A JSON REST API over HTTPS. The usual shape is: your system posts the item list, the API returns the packing solution and a link to the 3D view, and your system updates its pick lists. The API documentation carries working examples in JavaScript, Python, C# and Java.
Calls are metered per month against your plan — 1,000 on Professional, 5,000 on Business, and a custom allowance on Enterprise. A single call packs the whole shipment, so one order is one call rather than one per item.
On-premise and private cloud deployment are part of the Enterprise plan, shipped as a container image so your data stays inside your network.
Each calculation carries its own constraints and is saved under its own name, so one client's “electronics on top” and another's loading sequence do not have to live in the same profile. Reports can be printed per calculation.
White-labelling is part of the Enterprise plan: your domain, your logo and your colours, with the infrastructure run by us. Get in touch and we will talk through what you need.
API usage is metered against your account, and calculations are saved with the name you give them, so usage can be attributed to a client at the end of the month. Volume pricing is available — ask.
Paste a box list and the first plan takes about a minute.
