Adding Slack to Different Case Sides
| This example is relatively quick. In some cases, a user will need to pack a product or a number of products into a box while using padding. Quick Pallet Maker allows the padding to increase the box dimensions differently in each axis. The first step is to open a new window starting from primary package dimensions. We will use the default dimensions. Then, we click on the "Case Properties" button. |
 |
| Once we're in the Case Properties window, we click on the second tab to see that we can either enter the added padding dimensions as bulge (proportional to the box size) or as absolute values for each axis. In our case, we will use 50,10 and 0 mm for the internal slack in the length, width and height, respectively. After entering the values, we click on OK. |
 |
| The next step is to select "Recalculate" from the Tools menu. This will show us the resulting pallets and the boxes they contain. If we look at the boxes with the "Show Contents" view, we can see the slack that was added in each direction. |
 |
| Finally, Quick Pallet Maker offers the option to create a movie of the box fill. This animation will allow viewing the location of each one of the packages inside the box. |
