Pro Tips for Container Fill Percentage
- Optimizing fill percentage (without exceeding weight limits) reduces the number of shipments needed and lowers per-unit shipping cost.
- Volume fill percentage and weight capacity are separate constraints — a container can be volume-full while still under its weight limit, or vice versa.
Common Container Fill Percentage Mistakes to Avoid
- Focusing only on volume fill percentage while ignoring weight limits, which can be the binding constraint for dense cargo.
