Dear convert-me.com forum visitors,
Our forum has been available for many years. In September 2014 we decided to switch it to read-only mode. Month after month we saw less posts with questions and answers from real people and more spam posts. We were spending more and more resources cleaning the spam until there were less them 1 legitimate message per 100 spam posts. Then we decided it's time to stop.
All the posts in the forum will be available and searchable. We understand there are a lot of useful information and we aren't going to remove anything. As for the new questions, you can always ask them on convert-me.com FaceBook page
Thank you for being with us and sorry for any inconveniences this could caused.

Louis,
Read the case study at the bottom of this page,
http://www.export911.com/e911/ship/conShip.htm
and particularly follow the links for general purpose container and package orientation. I think it will give you all the facts to determine this. Note that caution that containers of the same "nominal" size (40') may have slightly different internal dimensions.
Once you have internal dimensions, you can figure out how many rows, columns, layers are possible for each box orientation. At least get the best number for the whole container packed in one orientation. The use some trial&error to see if mixed packing gives better results. Usually height and width should be the first focus for "good fit." Losing some of that dimension is a bigger hit on packing efficiency, percentagewise.
