Presence and amount of overhang and layer rotation will also affect stability of the loads.īoard Grades and Papers: TOPS Pro comes with a database of standard board grades and papers.
Unitload Data: How boxes are stacked on the pallet contributes to the stability of the load – a column stacked pattern with aligned corners and sides creates a support beam structure in the unitload. TOPS Pro stacking strength analysis provides calculations based on the McKee formula to help users determine what board combinations are available and suitable for quality assurance. Observe various board combination options with varying ECTs to find the right safety margin.Įnvironmental Factors: The analysis takes into consideration environmental elements such as humidity, storage time, and multi skid stacking. Apply factors affecting corrugate integrity such as air, truck, or ocean transport. It helps organizations improve their bottom line and at the same time, be environmentally friendly. Use TOPS Pro to perform “what if” scenarios like adding or removing an intermediate pack, changing carton dimensions, adding overhang to the pallet layout or limiting the number of layers for each load.Īdditionally, TOPS Pro can help users create sustainable packages by selecting the optimal board grade, generating stable pallet loads to minimize product damage with stacking analysis, and saving on shipping costs by optimizing all transit loads. The program uses a powerful, real-time 3D graphics engine to let you see what you are designing while you’re creating it. With TOPS Pro, packaging engineers can oversee all stages of the packaging design on one single, easy-to-use user interface. With TOPS Pro, users can easily determine the optimum package size, product quantity, arrangement and pallet layout and configuration.
TOPS Pro is a packaging design and pallet layout software developed to assist packaging professionals in creating optimal packaging designs and pallet pattern layouts.
