Pick and Pack with Cartonization in Warehousing

October 20, 2017

When it comes to picking and packing orders in a warehouse, you must ensure that all your methods are efficient and economical to reap maximum profit from your efforts. Cartonization is an effective way to package and ship orders once the picking is complete since it takes into consideration the best size of cartons for the specific order that requires packaging for shipping just for one benefit. You implement this process with specialised software that analyses all necessary data to provide you with the ideal way to package and ship your orders from your warehouse to your clients or customers.

How to Implement Cartonization

To implement cartonization, you must first own computer software that performs all the calculations for you. In addition, you will need to input the following product and carton data, as it pertains to your situation and stock, to ensure it can calculate correctly:

  • Product dimensions of each item in stock including single units, cases and entire pallets
  • Weight of each product ranging from singular units to cases or pallets
  • Notation of special padding or other packaging requirements for each product

In addition to the above product information, you must input the following carton details about the ones you have in stock at the moment:

  • Dimensions of cartons
  • Empty-carton weight
  • Maximum load allowance on each carton
  • Other pertinent carton information necessary for the cartonization software that you are using for your warehousing setup

Note: After you enter all the necessary data the cartonization program will plot the ideal way to pack and ship each order. Workers can receive the allotted containers to pack the orders at the same time that the pickers are accumulating the products, as per order.

Allow Cartonization Software to Select the Most Economical Shipping Method

You even can turn to the cartonization program for the most cost-effective shipping methods for the destination of the order. The choices for shipping and delivery in this country range from Australian Post and courier services to freight companies.

Cartonization Software Can Accurately Calculate Shipping and Handling Charges for Each Order

An additional benefit of cartonization is the fact that it can calculate the correct shipping and handling charges on the orders. As the orders come to you, the program will add these charges to them.
