For Manufacturers

Know Exactly How Many Units Fit in Every Container

You're shipping your own product, and every empty inch of a container is money left on the table. Hansatic packs your SKUs to the exact carton, tells you the real units-per-container count, and shows the per-unit freight cost — before you commit to a production run or book the box.

Units per container drives every freight decision you make

It's the number your production run, your unit cost, and your customer's quote all depend on — and most manufacturers are still estimating it.

A spreadsheet guess sets your unit economics

Rough carton-count math against a container's floor area ignores stacking limits, weight distribution, and irregular carton shapes — so the number you priced against is rarely the number that actually loads.

Wasted space is a wasted margin

A container quoted at a flat rate costs the same whether it's packed to 78% or 94% utilization — every unit you leave out of that gap is freight cost added straight to your per-unit price.

Packaging changes mean re-doing the math

A new carton size, a retail-ready pallet configuration, or a customer's packaging requirement changes your units-per-container number — and that number needs to be right before you commit a production run to it.

Your factory and your freight forwarder need the same plan

The loading sequence your factory floor uses should match what the forwarder expects at the container door — a verbal description or a rough sketch leaves too much room for a mismatch.

Built to answer one question precisely: how many units fit?

Hansatic packs your actual carton or unit dimensions into the actual container, so the number you plan production and pricing around is the number that loads.

Save your SKU once, reuse it forever

Store your carton or unit dimensions, weight, and max-stack height in a library — every future quote or run starts from the exact same spec, not a re-measured guess.

A real utilization percentage, not a guess

See exactly how much of the container's volume and weight capacity your units actually use, so you know whether there's room for more before you book the box.

Test packaging changes before you commit

Try a different carton size, orientation, or pallet pattern and see the unit count shift instantly — find the configuration that fits the most units before packaging is finalized.

See the per-unit freight cost, not just the total

Divide the container rate by the real unit count to see what freight actually adds to each unit — the number that belongs in your landed-cost calculation.

Why this matters for manufacturers specifically:

Most load planning tools are built for people moving other people's cargo. Hansatic works just as well when you own the product — save your SKU dimensions once, and get an exact units-per-container answer every time you change a container size, a carton spec, or a production quantity, without re-measuring anything.
