This Page will help you create a basic request to the Paccurate API

Getting Started with Paccurate: Anatomy of a Pack Request

Learn how to create a  box visualization with Paccurate's API.  This guide shows you how to build a visual legend that highlights packed items on hover using JavaScript, SVG, and CSS.

Building a Pack Legend with the Paccurate API

Discover how to embed Paccurate's Inspector tool with our new responsive embed mode.  Integrate pack images faster using packUuid from API responses.

Embedding Images with Inspector

Learn how to construct and apply rules in Paccurate's cartonization engine.  This comprehensive guide explains how to select items using RefIds, Sequence, and ItemMatch properties, define rule targets, and apply operations like exclude and pack-as-is.

How To Construct A Rule

Discover how to optimize shipping with Paccurate's stacking and nesting features.  Learn to use compact-pattern for efficient item stacking and internal-space rules to utilize empty spaces within larger items, reducing wasted space and shipping costs.

Stacking & Nesting

Optimize on-demand packaging with Paccurate Box Type Generators (BTGs).  Learn to configure boxTypeGenerators—defaults, limits, pricing thresholds, trimming, rules, and performance—to cut waste and dim weight fees.

On-Demand Cartonization

Paccurate handling units explained: use dimensionSets to model cases, pallets, and eaches with accurate dimensions, weights, and quantity divisors—so the API can split quantities intelligently and choose optimal cartons for packing.

Working with Handling Units

Apparel cartonization guide: learn how to pack soft goods using Paccurate PCS rules—folded dimensions, Item Lists, alternate-dimensions, bounded-fill, compact-pattern, reserved space, dimension sets, and pack-sequence—for real, cost-saving packs.

Packing Apparel

Paccurate’s pack-sequence rule enables multi-stage packing in a single PacAPI request, supporting carton-to-pallet, kitting, and even truck loading without chaining multiple API calls.

Multi-stage Packing
