What are you packaging today?
Select your packaging type and upload your CAD or geometry file. I'll route the correct engineering workflow and ask only the next required question.
Supported formats: STEP, Parasolid (.x_t), STL, OBJ, GLB, DXF
Upload the CAD.
STEP, STL, OBJ, GLB, PLY all accepted. The 3D viewer below mirrors what the analysis will run on.
Confirm material and product.
Verified material properties from the database. Anything missing is fetched on demand and cached.
Declare the route.
Tell PackTwin where the shipment starts and ends. We infer the transport modes, leg durations and distance from lane data — you review, adjust if you know better, then approve.
No route analyzed yet
Enter a pickup and destination above. PackTwin infers the modes, leg durations and distance so you don’t have to estimate hours by hand.
Why this route?
Mode breakdown
Inferred from corridor data. Edit any leg if your carrier has given you firm transit times — the simulation uses whatever is shown here.
Transit intelligence
Feeds the World Mobility ModelTransit times
Entered manuallyStacking
Not inferred — you know this bestAdd at least one mode (hours) or a manual drop height to enable approval.
Approve the plan, then run.
Every step labelled. Every assumption listed. Nothing runs without your sign-off.
Edits above are saved with the case before the run starts.
Verdict.
Did this match the real ISTA test?
Tell the analysis what actually happened. The platform learns where it was off and re-calibrates subsequent runs on this material × packaging-type pair.
Engineering review.
Post-consumer recycled substitution
Compare the current material with its PCR analogue.
Secondary carton — PCR substitution
Compare the current carton board with its PCR analogue.
Sign and lock.
Locks the design and writes a SHA-256 manifest. Tamper-evident.
Variant
Full breakdown for this alternative — same physics, applied to its material and wall.
Primary packaging — three alternatives, re-tested.
Pick an intent — cost, strength, or your own — and the optimiser proposes three alternatives, each re-evaluated through the same ISTA 2A pipeline.
The optimiser walks a protection ladder — tight wrap, dividers, cushioning, stronger board, fewer pallet layers, thicker film — and re-runs the biscuit trial after every rung until it passes your acceptance criteria. The first passing rung is recommended.
The optimiser walks a protection ladder — tighter carton, partition inserts, cushioning, stronger shipper board, fewer pallet layers — and re-runs the coil trial after every rung until it passes your acceptance criteria. The first passing rung is recommended.
Optimise the shipping carton.
The carton is graded by real McKee compression, drop safety factor, vibration dose, board cost, and carbon.
Upload your CAD geometry
Required first. The 3D model powers geometry analysis, the viewer, heatmaps, and geometry-based calculations. STEP, STP, STL, OBJ, or GLB.
