PostSort calculates how bundles and boxes should be packed to comply with the various distributors' guidelines and requirements.

In order to calculate, the program needs to know:

•Product size and weight.

•Whether the shipment is to be packed as a bundle or put in a box.

The maximum number in a bundle is controlled by the weight and height of the bundle.

Maximum bundle weight:

Posten SE: 7000 g

Posten NO: 6000 g

Posten FI: 10 000 g

The height of the bundle must not exceed the shortest side of a product.

PostSort uses the following values from the distributor for the minimum thickness of a bundle.

Example.

The product weighs 67 grams and has the size of an A4 with a thickness of 1.8 mm.

It must be sent as a bundle and the bundles must be placed on a pallet.

Maximum bundle size calculation if weight is decisive.

Max bundle weight	Weight pc	Calculation	Result	Rounded*
7000g	67g	7000/67	104,5 psc	100 pcs

Maximum bundle size calculation if thickness is decisive.

Width	Thickness	Calculation	Result	Rounded*
210mm	1,8mm	210/1,8	116,7 psc	115 pcs

In the same way, how small the smallest bundle can be is calculated.

Calculation is based on the minimum package size 50mm.

Max bundle	Thickness	Calculation	Result	Rounded*
50mm	1,8mm	50/1,8	27,8 psc	30 pcs

*PostSort rounds the min/max bundle size to the nearest 5, but the value can be adjusted in Settings.

Load carriers without side supports (such as standard EUR pallets) affect how bundles are calculated.
