Packaging and tool designer together. Show filled-carton bearing areas, not just the outside rectangle.
15 pointsPackaging has the insert drawing. Tooling only received carton dimensions. That explains part of this.
13 pointsMake the lower layer visible beneath those bearing areas, Grace, so packaging can assess the actual spans rather than assuming every rotated carton is equally unsupported.
15 pointsInclude pallet-edge positions too. Different support underneath even when the carton orientation matches.
9 pointsThe edge position is worse than the middle. I've marked both for packaging.
10 pointsOur purchasing comparison once priced the densest drawing and ignored the handling needed to make it work, so I'd ask for a lower-count candidate alongside this one if dispatch is willing to consider the extra pallets.
23 pointsDispatch will consider fewer cartons. They want the extra pallet movements costed first.
15 pointsThat is a reasonable comparison, provided both candidates get the same packaging assessment; aligned rows do not come with a certificate of good behaviour.
18 pointsWho handles the incomplete pallet when an order ends, Grace? I'd hate to see the full-layer pattern finally sorted and then have the shift invent the last half-layer beside it.
19 pointsPacking lead handles short orders. We haven't put that condition into the review yet.
17 pointsBring them in while the alternatives are still drawings, then, because a pattern that needs a whole layer every time may change the work more than losing two carton positions.
21 pointsAny answer from packaging on the original gaps? That's still the basic unknown.
20 pointsOriginal edge position isn't acceptable to packaging. Lower-count candidate needs filled-load and tooling checks next.
8 pointsThat gives dispatch a real reason to price the alternative, Grace. I'd keep short-order handling alongside those extra pallet movements so the comparison doesn't quietly assume every order fills the new pattern either.
