Rectangular Box Packing Estimator

Compare six axis-aligned box orientations online

Compare six axis-aligned box orientations using floor divisions. Use this to calculate a stated mathematical relationship from your own explicit assumptions. Units and input order are part of the calculation; no changing external rates or laws are inferred.

How to use it

Enter 6 comma-separated numbers in this order: container length, container width, container height, box length, box width, box height. Choose Calculate. Review the output, then copy or download it.

Reproducible worked example

Settings: No additional settings.

Input:

100, 80, 60, 20, 10, 10

With the input and settings above, the tool produces:

Output:

{
  "best": {
    "orientation": [
      20,
      10,
      10
    ],
    "count": 240
  },
  "orientations": [
    {
      "orientation": [
        20,
        10,
        10
      ],
      "count": 240
    },
    {
      "orientation": [
        20,
        10,
        10
      ],
      "count": 240
    },
    {
      "orientation": [
        10,
        20,
        10
      ],
      "count": 240
    },
    {
      "orientation": [
        10,
        10,
        20
      ],
      "count": 240
    },
    {
      "orientation": [
        10,
        20,
        10
      ],
      "count": 240
    },
    {
      "orientation": [
        10,
        10,
        20
      ],
      "count": 240
    }
  ]
}

The example returns an object with 2 top-level fields. The fields “best”, “orientations” identify the returned values or sections.

Limitations and common mistakes

• Uniform axis-aligned packing only; mixed orientations, tolerances, load limits and complex optimal packing are excluded.
• Combined input is bounded to 150,000 characters; output text is bounded to 1.2 million characters. Some algorithms impose smaller limits, stated in their error messages.
• Use a dot as the decimal separator and commas or spaces between numeric entries. The calculation uses floating-point arithmetic unless exact integers are explicitly stated.
