| Quick Pallet Maker allows the user to add slack to a box after it has been calculated. This example shows how it is done. In this case, we first open a new document window starting from primary package dimensions (from the File menu). Then, we enter the dimensions of the package and the case count. |
 |
| The next step is to select Tools -> Recalculate to obtain the list of box and pallet solutions. The list of boxes appears on the top right corner and the list of pallets at the bottom of the Available Solutions Window. We thereby select the pallet of our preference and note that the calculated box dimensions are 336 x 250 x 298 mm. Since the nearest box size in the warehouse is 345 x 255 x 298 mm, we enter the new values in each one of the cells below the box drawing. For each dimension change, a new box will be generated and a new pallet will be calculated. |
 |
| The final pallet containing the 345 255 x 298 mm box is selected. The box drawing now shows the appropriate internal slack. Please note that this is one alternative to using standard cases when the final case count, the box dimensions and the product orientation are known. |
