Abstract

The present invention provides a computer-implemented method and system (10) for optimally packing a plurality of randomly sized and shaped articles into a container. In particular, the invention determines the preferred packing configuration in a preferred container for packing a plurality of randomly sized and shaped articles in a customer order wherein particular articles in the order have specialized shipping requirements. In determining the preferred packing configuration, the method and system (10) uses criteria based upon particular characteristics of the articles, the cost of packing labor, packing material, and delivery of the packed container. In a particular embodiment, the preferred packing configuration is displayed graphically or as written instructions and the container is packed manually.
