How to use this tool

A decision, not just an output

Score box utilization, void space, and billable-weight efficiency from 0 to 100. Read the output alongside its interpretation, assumptions, limitations, and source. Marketplace rates and external requirements should always be confirmed at the linked official source.

Formula & example

Transparent method

Efficiency combines practical volume fill and actual-to-billable weight ratio into a published 0–100 score.

Example: A product filling 80% of a box with equal actual and billable weight scores in the Excellent range.

Assumptions

  • • Product and box are rectangular.
  • • A practical fill target of 85% receives full volume credit.

Limitations

  • • The score does not evaluate fragility, compression, or material strength.
