Packaging & logistics
Pallet utilization
Cases per layer, layers per pallet, and cube efficiency against standard pallet footprints, with club store height and weight references built in.
Corrugate strength reference
ECT and Mullen burst side by side, flute profiles A through F with calipers and typical uses, and a McKee-based stacking strength estimate.
Carton dimensioning
Internal to external conversions by flute caliper, plus dimensional weight for the major parcel carriers so shipping cost surprises show up early.
Box fit and clearance
Start from product dimensions, add clearance presets for foam, corrugate, or bags, choose a board caliper, and get internal and external carton dimensions with volume.
Material yield
Estimate how many parts fit on a sheet or roll using trim, bleed, grain direction, or minimum spacing constraints. Costing before the estimate comes back.
Club store display checker
Half-pallet and full-pallet display envelopes, weight limits, and shroud clearances by retailer, so a display concept can be sanity-checked before rendering.
Materials
Sheet metal gauge
Convert gauge to thickness, estimate weight per square foot, and compare steel, stainless, and aluminum. Each metal uses a different gauge standard, and the chart makes that explicit.
Acrylic reference
Thickness applications, cast vs extruded, weight math for freight, fabrication notes, and a straight answer on recyclability for the POP workhorse material.
Paperboard reference
SBS and chipboard calipers decoded: point conversions, grade comparisons from C1S to plain chipboard, typical uses by thickness, and a stack calculator.
Fabrication & reference
Bend allowance
Calculate bend allowance, bend deduction, setback, and flat pattern length from thickness, bend angle, inside radius, and K-factor, with a visual reference and the formulas shown.
Unit converter
Inches, millimeters, points, ounces, grams, cubic volume, and board caliper in one place, tuned to the units designers actually bounce between.
