Cartonization software

Cartonization Explained: How Amazon Optimizes Packaging

Cartonization is the process of selecting the best box for each order while accounting for dimensional weight, item compatibility, and handling constraints. Better carton decisions reduce both cost and damage risk.

What cartonization software evaluates

It scores candidate boxes against order dimensions, weight, fragility rules, and carrier pricing thresholds.

Why this improves shipping economics

Right-sized cartons reduce billed volume, improve trailer density, and lower packaging material consumption.

How to start in your operation

Begin with your highest-volume SKUs, compare baseline vs. optimized carton sets, and scale once KPI gains are proven.
