Mixing Several Product Families Into One Container Is Not A Packing Problem.

Mixing several product families into one container is not a packing problem.
It is a sequencing problem.

Six things that decide whether the box closes properly and arrives intact.

1. Weight goes low and over the axles.
Heavy, dense goods go on the floor, over the axles - not at the doors, and
not stacked on top of anything softer. The doors are the weakest part of a
load, not the strongest.

2. Long rigid goods set the rhythm.
Lengths run along the container first; everything else fills around them.
Start by cutting long goods to fit around short ones, and you have given
away the cheapest space in the box.

3. Finished faces never touch each other.
Panel against panel, face to face, is how you get a claim. Face to back
with a layer between, or edge to edge with protection. This is the one that
shows up on arrival, not on the loading photos.

4. Your load order is your delivery order, backwards.
Whatever comes off first at the first stop belongs nearest the doors. Two
destinations in one container means you load the last one first - and that
is decided before the first pallet moves, not at the doors.

5. The top and the gaps are the real risk.
Panels rarely break because of what is under them. They break because they
moved. Anything with air above it needs to be filled or braced.

6. The plan gets drawn before the doors open.
Once the first pallet is in, you are not planning any more, you are
rearranging. The load plan is the cheapest part of the job and the last
part anyone does.

Same container. Several product lines. Whether it fits is decided on paper.
