Box packing comparison
Compare six uniform orientations for identical rectangular items. The best displayed count is not a proof of globally optimal packing with mixed orientations.
Your inputs
Start with the example values, then replace them with your own. For tables, keep the vertical bar separators and use a dot for decimals.
Measure materials and test a small sample before cutting, buying or building. Allow for real tolerances, waste and manufacturer instructions.

How it works
Try six uniform orthogonal orientations. Count = floor(A/x) × floor(B/y) × floor(C/z); mixed orientations may fit more.
Worked example
These sample results use the original example inputs in the form. They do not change when you edit your inputs; your own result appears in the workspace.
- Best uniform count: 40
- Volume use: 80 %
| Item length | Item width | Item height | Count |
|---|---|---|---|
| 8 | 12 | 5 | 40 |
| 12 | 8 | 5 | 36 |
Read the result carefully
Results depend on the values and assumptions shown above. Change one input at a time to see its effect. A blank or unavailable result means the data does not support a calculation; it is not zero.
