Rules
Packing Rules & Rule Engine for Cartonization
Volume math cannot express “never bag glass with apparel” or “this SKU must ship alone.” WiCartonize packing rules capture those constraints in a maintainable rule engine.
IF/THEN logic ops teams understand
Target items, boxes, orientations, and properties with rules that run before and after placement. Exceptions live in configuration—not sticky notes on the pack bench.
- Ship-alone and fragile handling
- Mailer or carton exclusions
- Orientation and rotation limits
- Property-based constraints
Rule sets per workflow
Bundle rules into sets attached to packing profiles. Edit behavior without redeploying warehouse code for every seasonal promotion.
Test before production
Validate rule outcomes in the Packing Inspector so packers see the same plan the engine scored.
Do rules replace the 3D engine?
No. Rules constrain and score; the engine still performs placement.
Can rules differ per Shopify store?
Yes, via tenant profiles and rule sets.
