Tools
Free tools for packaging and logistics work, built by Steven Clery. Every result is geometrically validated — nothing here is estimated.
Pallet Pattern Generator
Enter your case dimensions to see how many fit per layer and per pallet, with a validated mixed-orientation pattern diagram, package size optimizer, and side-by-side comparison mode.
Open tool →Price per MSF Calculator
Convert between $ per M, $ per MSF, and $ per lb for any sheet size, plus total job cost for a given quantity. Built on the same $/MSF = $/M ÷ area identity used industry-wide.
Open tool →Warehouse Stacking Strength Calculator
Enter your stack configuration and distribution environment to get Static Load, Safety Factor, and DCSR, plus a suggested ECT grade computed live from the McKee formula — no manual board-combination lookup required.
Open tool →Trailer Load Calculator
Enter your loaded pallet dimensions and a trailer size to see how many fit by floor space, height, and payload weight — the same validated pattern-search engine as the Pallet Pattern Generator, with double-stacking resolved automatically.
Open tool →Guides
Reference pages for terms and comparisons the calculators above use.
Corrugated Flute Types Explained
A-flute, B-flute, C-flute, and the double-wall combinations built from them — nominal caliper, common uses, and how flute choice affects stacking strength and pricing.
Read guide →ECT vs. Mullen (Burst Test)
What each test measures, why ECT is what predicts stacking strength, and why they aren't directly convertible.
