What is the difference between margin and markup?

Margin is profit as a share of the selling price; markup is profit as a share of cost. Buy at 100 and sell at 150 and your markup is 50% but your margin is 33%.

Knowing which one you mean matters when setting prices. The profit margin calculator starts from the selling price, the markup calculator from cost, and the break-even calculator tells you how many units you need to sell.

How many cartons or pallets fit in a truck or container?

The number of cartons or pallets that fit depends on the inner dimensions of the vehicle, the carton size and which ways the cartons may be turned; once the payload is reached, weight becomes the limit.

The load calculators turn cartons to fill gaps and show the plan in 3D. You can load several carton sizes together, and count the cartons on a pallet from a photo.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will the load plan match the real load exactly?

The plan assumes exact carton sizes. Allow a few centimetres for bulging, pallet overhang and handling.

Are the container dimensions accurate?

They are typical standard inner dimensions. If yours differ, choose “Custom dimensions”.
