ClosedI won't approve the alternating pattern yet. The boxes fit, but their reinforced ends bridge gaps below. Tooling wants some of those gaps for release. Packaging and tooling need the same drawing.
7 replies Does the current drawing show the load-bearing areas of the packed carton, or only its outside rectangle? That distinction should be visible before comparing gap positions.
17 pointsOnly outside rectangles. I overlaid the carton supplier's underside sketch and found the clash. Nobody had put that sketch in the tool review.
10 pointsShow a section through those areas and the open fingers, including withdrawal. The final open position may not be all the space the tool needs.
17 pointsDinesh, would you include the pallet deck in the same section? Their first layer could have a similar issue even before rotation.
-4 pointsYes, deck and lower layer. And use the actual filled carton construction; an empty box comparison would be too easy.
10 pointsBoth are on the requested section. We are also asking for a lower-count arrangement to compare if packaging rejects the original. Nothing selected.
20 pointsDoes the lower-count proposal include any changed partial-pallet handling? That work should stay visible when the prices are compared.
