The packing list is a key document for shipping, customs and the bill of lading. The traditional approach is to calculate by hand in Excel — "3 products × 24 pieces × 5 cartons = 60 pieces, 350 kg total gross weight, 1.8 CBM total volume." SBK auto-generates the packing list from order line items, with multi-carton/multi-pallet loading and one-click gross/net weight, volume and shipping marks.
Line-item driven + automatic totals + multi-level loading + custom shipping marks
Pull product line items from the contract / PI / CI, automatically load by "pieces per carton," and accumulate gross/net weight and volume automatically
Four-level loading — product → carton → pallet → container — with totals at each level to avoid manual multiplication and addition errors
Preset volumes for common container types (20GP / 40GP / 40HQ / 45HQ) automatically determine "how many more cartons will fit"
Template-based management of main marks, side marks and top marks, supporting multiple languages, QR codes and warning icons
Carton-level gross/net weight → pallet-level totals → full-container totals, with gross and net volume calculated separately
10+ packing-list templates meeting customs-declaration, forwarder-booking and L/C-negotiation requirements
Auto-packed by spec (50 pcs/carton)
You used to list products, carton numbers, piece counts and gross/net weights in Excel, where one formula change throws everything off. SBK maintains each product's "packing specification" (pieces per carton, gross/net weight per piece, carton dimensions) as master data, so when you place an order it calculates the number of cartons from the quantity automatically.
Loading efficiency factor 85%
A 40HQ holds 76 CBM; with 65 CBM loaded, how many more cartons can you squeeze in? SBK's container-loading calculator factors in carton dimensions, loading efficiency (85%), stacking layers and remaining space, then suggests "N more cartons fit" or "over capacity — split into 2 containers."
Customers have strict requirements for mark formats — logo on top, company name in the middle, port below, unique carton numbers. One wrong letter means a fine or a return. SBK saves customer shipping marks as templates that new orders apply automatically, so stenciling and printing come out right the first time.
The container calculator works out that 65 furniture sets fit, exceeding the customer's order of 60; the salesperson proactively suggests consolidation or reducing the load.
20 SKUs are mixed in one 40GP, each with a unique carton number, so customs can find cartons by the PL during inspection.
Small orders are combined with the forwarder's consolidation service, with separate PLs and individual stenciled marks for easy splitting at the destination port.
A German customer requires "main mark with logo + company name + Made in China"; the mark template is saved and reused with one click on the next repeat order.
From order to PL to forwarder to B/L, loading runs through the entire logistics process
The commercial invoice (CI) is auto-generated from packing-list data, with matching carton counts
The PL links to the customs declaration, with gross/net weight matching the declared figures
Once packed, the PL is pushed to the forwarder for booking
PL data is carried over automatically when the B/L is issued
