What it does
Submit product dimensions, weight, fragility, and distribution method. The Dieline Structural Advisor recommends the optimal FEFCO box style, board construction, liner weights, and estimated BCT — with material cost per box from PackIndex and a premium and economy alternative.
Example use case
A product manager needs a box spec for a 1.2kg electronic device (fragility 4, e-commerce). The advisor recommends FEFCO 0201 RSC in C-flute 150/112/125gsm, calculates required BCT of 8.4 kN, and estimates $0.62/unit material cost at current PackIndex prices.
