ipack builder v2

ipack builder v2 provides a domain-focused configuration engine for modular IPack packaging. It accepts structured inputs describing base dimensions, material choices, and modular components, and it computes a BOM, cost estimate, weight, volume, and packing performance metrics. By centering domain logic, it avoids CAD dependency while delivering procurement-ready data. Target users include packaging engineers, product managers, and manufacturing planners who design and validate packaging for new and existing products.

Conceptually, a configuration starts from a base box and optional inserts, then adds dividers, closures, and protective features as needed. The engine enforces fit and rule constraints, checks material compatibility, and flags infeasible combinations early. It supports creating multiple scenarios to compare trade-offs such as cost vs. weight or material waste, and it can export structured data suitable for purchasing, manufacturing, and logistics teams.

Core features include a stepwise input workflow, a modular component library, automated BOM generation, and calculations for volume, weight, and cost. Advanced capabilities cover environmental impact estimation, alternative materials, supplier lead-time checks, sensitivity analyses, and optimization hints that guide material selection and module sizing. The tool is designed to integrate with existing product data and procurement workflows.

Use cases span new product launches, variant packaging optimization across markets, and sustainability-driven redesigns. It scales to large catalogs and multiple regions by using metric units and USD by default, while allowing localization for regional densities, taxes, and labeling requirements. The result is repeatable, auditable packaging decisions with exportable data across engineering, procurement, and manufacturing.
