The sums a box maker does every week.
Do them here with your own figures, no sign-up. Inside Cartis the same sums are done on the whole box.
There is also the test bench: flat layout, paper and yield from three measurements
What do your quotes cost you, every month?
Enter how you work today. The sums are yours: all we apply is the one-third time measured in our own factory.
The one-third time was measured in a box-making factory on everyday jobs; the samples avoided are a cautious estimate (half of those you remake today). The result depends on your figures.
How many cartons on a pallet?
Outside dimensions of the carton, in millimetres.
How many pieces per sheet?
Dimensions of the flat layout (bounding rectangle), in millimetres.
Indicative calculations, with a rectangular block arrangement: in Cartis the sheet layout uses the true shape of the flat layout, with lips and turn-ins, and the pallet takes the real carton into account.
The same sums, on the real box.
Here you calculate in blocks. Inside the software the yield uses the true shape of the flat layout, the pallet is built from your box's carton, and you get the time back because flat layout, cutting die, 3D and quotation come out together from the same three measurements.
Yield with the true shape
The layout is placed on the sheet with its real shape, not its bounding rectangle. Print plans side by side: fewer sheets, fewer print layouts.
Carton and pallet
How many boxes fit in the shipping carton and how much it weighs; cartons per layer, layers and pallets for the whole run.
A third of the time
One person handles three times the jobs they handled before. We measured it in our own factory, on everyday jobs.
Do the sums on your own box.
