Can't approve a layer that hides the carton feet

Packaging has sent the base-strip drawing. Tooling has the finger gap, but only at the moment the carton is placed.

Then get the movement after placement. A gap that accepts the fingers isn't automatically a gap they can leave through once another carton is beside them.

I've added the packed section. Packaging is proposing a non-alternating pattern; dispatch dislikes the lower count, tooling hasn't checked the exit route yet.

Could a layer sheet be another candidate, if packaging thinks it can provide the needed support? Not saying put any old sheet in there and declare victory.

Worth asking, but include placing the sheet and handling its supply in the comparison. Otherwise dispatch gets its carton count back by handing an unpriced task to somebody else.

Packaging will assess a specified sheet as a second option. We're keeping the lower-count pattern in the comparison rather than treating the sheet as an agreed fix

Tooling has found a withdrawal clash in the original pattern. They've proposed a finger change, now going back to packaging with the revised gaps. Neither option has a filled-load trial result yet.

Has dispatch priced the lower-count option now? It may still be less work than revised fingers plus a sheet supply, even if it loses the beauty contest on the drawing.
