Version History

Every improvement recorded to make packing simpler and more efficient

· Pallet-then-Load Supports Loose Cargo

  • In Pallet-then-Load mode, the cargo table now has a "No Pallet" checkbox per row (checked by default): when unchecked, the cargo skips palletizing and is loaded directly as loose cargo into the container, filling leftover gaps between pallets to improve utilization
  • Typical use cases: oversize / irregular items that don't fit on a pallet, and small leftovers that are too few to fill a pallet
  • The algorithm automatically guarantees no overlap between loose cargo and pallets, or among loose cargo themselves, and never exceeds the container walls — any spatial conflict is detected and blocked
  • If every cargo is marked "No Pallet", the algorithm cannot run; the UI prompts the user to keep at least one cargo palletized

· Interlocking Rules for Single-Cargo Packing

  • Single-cargo packing now supports "interlocking" rules: staggered rows, 90° layer rotation and 90° column rotation within a layer interlock the cargo for better stacking stability.
  • Four rules available: none, running bond (stagger half a cell between layers), mixed rotation (rotate 90° between columns in the same layer) and cross layer (rotate 90° every layer), plus an "auto" mode that picks the best one.
  • If the selected rule is not supported by the current cargo/container dimensions, the system automatically falls back to the closest available rule and explains the reason, so a valid packing plan is always produced.

· Container Gap Settings Feature

  • In the container selection page, you can now set gaps on all six directions (front, back, left, right, top, bottom) to facilitate forklift handling and cargo loading.
  • Added a "Clear" button in the gap dialog to reset all gaps to zero with one click, no need to adjust them one by one.

· Export PDF Display Optimization

  • Fixed the issue where cargo names/codes and direction arrows were missing from step screenshots in the exported PDF.
  • Step titles now display the cargo name, dimensions and rotation type again, making it easy to verify the cargo loaded in each step.

· Pallet-First Packing Supports Manual Editing

  • The manual editing page now supports the pallet-first packing mode, allowing you to edit packing results while keeping the container center of gravity within requirements.

· Manual Editing Page | Container Save Feature

  • Manual editing page: Added "unpacked cargo" list with rotation support for editing unpacked items
  • Container selection page: Save frequently used container dimensions for quick reuse

· Manual Editing Page Upgrade

  • Optimized manual editing page to resolve the issue in older versions where cargo could only be dragged with a mouse
  • Adjusted membership upgrade page to display benefits clearly before purchase

· Added Cargo Editing Feature

  • Based on suggestions from premium members, added a cargo editing feature to allow users to modify cargo information easily
  • Added H5 page sharing function for easy sharing with friends

· Support Single-Cargo Calculation

  • Added fast calculation for a single type of cargo with sub‑second response and over 99% packing accuracy

· Added Intelligent Packing Solutions

  • Introduced intelligent packing solution selection during calculation to automatically choose the optimal plan
  • Added PDF export for packing steps and Excel download for packing reports

· Excel Batch Import Support

  • Resolved the need to manually input cargo each time by adding Excel import support

· 3D View for Packing Results

  • 3D packing view supports rotation / zoom / pan
  • Step‑by‑step packing animation makes the loading process clear

· The Birth of an Idea

  • Inspired by helping a family member with their occasional packing needs, we decided to build a tool
  • Surveyed existing packing tools on the market – most were too complicated, so we aimed for simplicity and ease of use
  • After a week of development, the first version was completed and released
  • After much thought, we named it "PackerMaster" – meaning packing should be simple and effortless
