What it does
Submit your complete ecommerce pack stack (outer box or mailer, void fill, labels, tape). The Ecommerce Pack Cost Optimiser calculates cost per component from PackIndex CORR, MAILER, LABL, and FLEX indices, identifies DIM weight surcharges, and ranks every cost reduction opportunity by annual saving.
Example use case
A D2C brand ships in a corrugated box with bubble wrap. The optimiser calculates total pack cost of $0.64 plus $0.65/shipment DIM surcharge. Switching to a right-sized mailer eliminates the DIM surcharge entirely — saving $0.73/shipment = $70,000/year at 96,000 annual shipments.
Frequently asked questions
What is a DIM weight surcharge?
When the package volume divided by 5,000 exceeds the actual weight, carriers charge the higher DIM weight rate.
Does it cover bubble wrap, air pillows, and paper void fill?
Yes — all void fill options are costed and compared.
Can I model a format switch from corrugated to mailer?
Yes — the format switch analysis is a standard output for lightweight shipments.
