Software to determine your box assortment

Our software app eBox Range Optimiser is a packaging optimization tool that recommends the optimal number of different (e-commerce) packaging and their sizes based on the most common order combinations for your company. By implementing a range of webshop boxes that match your product range, you save costs, improve efficiency, use less materials, lower your CO2 footprint and reduce empty space.

Discover your ideal box assortment

One of the biggest challenges in e-commerce? Packaging Optimization: Finding the right balance between too few box sizes, which creates empty space in the box, and too many box sizes, which create storage problems.

To help you find your optimal range of boxes, DS Smith has launched a new software application. The eBox Range Optimizer:

• determines the optimal dimensions for your box assortment,


• simulates the optimal number of boxes for your product range,


• recommends the best fitting box with the highest filling level for each order.

Increase your efficiency

Packaging optimization means you need less storage space, simplifies handling and speeds up the packaging process.

Make your customers happy

By using less cardboard and filling material, you reduce your ecological footprint. Bearing in mind that almost 6 out of 10 customers would like to see less packaging and almost 8 out of 10 would like to see packaging that is 100% recyclable, you can count on much more satisfied customers.

Save on costs

Packaging optimization has an added bonus. You also spend smarter. With a box assortment that is tailored to your product portfolio, you avoid unnecessary expenditure on

• unnecessary packaging material: you need less corrugated cardboard and filler chips,
• Damaged Goods and Returns: With boxes that fit better, fragile items are more likely to survive the journey to your customer
• transport: you use less space per box, which means you get more items in one shipment

You supply the data, we calculate the box assortment

How does the eBox Range Optimiser work? Simple, all we need are:

• product dimensions and weight,
• order combinations,
• dimensions of the current box range,
• transport and material costs

Based on that data, the eBox Range Optimiser tells you exactly which boxes you need.
