The second layer turns our carton support sideways

I've put a packed sample on the pallet beside the FR10 layout drawing. Our carton has stiff inserts along two sides, but the alternating layer puts one of those sides over a gap. The drawing only shows the outside box. Who should mark the support needs before we settle the tool access?

The packaging designer should mark them on the loaded-carton drawing; outside dimensions alone omit the load path you are asking about.

Packaging marked the insert contact strips. One strip crosses two gaps in the rotated position. They're considering a different first layer instead of adding a sheet.

Changing the first layer also changes what supports the layer above it, so review the stack rather than only that one offending carton.

We've got two stack options back now. The better-supported one has less room for our proposed fingers to withdraw. Is that a tooling review next or another packaging review?

Both, together. Give tooling the marked support strips and give packaging the withdrawal space; otherwise each can repair their drawing by breaking the other person's.
