Best Load®

Best Load® Delivers Up to 20% Savings In Packaging Costs

Optimize your unit load using the most current research available with White & Co.'s exclusive proprietary packaging software Best Load®. Based on the scientific principles of Systems Based Design this software enables users to analyze and design the unit load, including the pallet, package and shipping and systematically reducing packaging waste (and spend) by as much as 20%.

Best Load® tools include:

• The ability to design the pallet, package, and unit load
• Predict the bending strength and stiffness of stringer class wood pallets and pallet decks
• Predict the compression stress on the distribution packaging as a function of pallet design, package design, unit load design and unit load storage practices
• Predict the compression strength, weight, and optimum dimensions of corrugated fiberboard boxes as well as select the optimum fit of distribution packaging to pallets and unit loads to shipping containers
• Document packaging mass, volume, and cost data for managing sustainability goals

Current packaging industry software is component-based, focusing only on one part of the unit load. Best Load® considers interactions between the pallet, packaging and shipment to identify opportunities to reduce packaging costs.

The software reduces costly time and testing of actual loads in a laboratory setting by mathematically modeling the interactions of the component parts and predicting their performance. Over 30 years of packaging lab research results have been used in the development of the computer models making Best Load® the most comprehensive packaging optimization tool available.

Compression Stress and Best Load®

New advancements, modeled in Best Load®, show the impact of stiffer pallet deck boards on compression stress. This advancement results in a significant reduction in packaging waste.
