Shipping a container of only one model is simple; shipping the mix your market actually needs is harder. A good mixed-model plan fills the cube without confusing the warehouse.
Why mix models
A single-model container risks overstocking one SKU while you run out of another. A well-planned mix matches your sell-through and spreads risk across the line.
Plan the cube
- Get accurate carton dimensions and stackability per model.
- Group models with compatible carton sizes to maximize utilization.
- Flat-pack and foldable models cube more efficiently than fully assembled ones.
Plan the load order
- Load heavy or rigid items first, fragile or fabric items last.
- Label cartons clearly for warehouse receiving.
- Balance weight across the container for safe transport.
How KCAI approaches this
KCAI supports mixed-model orders across frames, smart beds, and recliners, and offers flat-pack and foldable designs that improve container utilization — so a mixed program ships economically instead of half-empty.
