In addition to ship case design and optimization, TOPS^®Pro's Database feature can also make the best use of your existing shipcases. Just plug in the length, width and height of your carton, TOPS^®Pro will give you a list of shipcases that work best for your carton.
 

Primary Pack

• Build containers, including  bottles, milk cartons, bag, can or tub.
• Optimize product size or create intermodal containers.
• Use from a host of pre-defined shapes or Create A Shape Yourself through the CASY Primary Package module.
• Add graphics or company logos to different sides of the containers to create more realistic items.
• Pack containers individually or have them in bundles.

Tray or Packer

• Use the CASY Tray feature to create handholds or custom tray shapes.
• Add dividers or pads in between layers. TOPS^®Pro comes with a host of dividers with stacking strength values built in. You can also create your own dividers or insert pads between layers of your product in the container.
• Specify flute and board grade to meet ECR and ECT (compression strength) tests, even for the dividers.

Shipper

• Pick an existing ship case from the TOPS^®Pro database or let TOPS^®Pro calculates it for you.
• Specify the exact quantity of primary packages for the shipcase or enter a range for the best yield of efficiency.
• Set limit on the quantity along each dimension of new ship cases.
• Use the McKee formula along with other factors to calculate Stacking Strength results based on Edge Crush, Ring Crush, Kellicut or user specified equations for answers.
• Full flexibility to enter your own paper and board values. You can also "filter" out values for quick reference.
• Define shipcase pattern styles.
