Lying down, shrink-wrapped or mixed
· By The ParametrIQ team
New from Product works out every way your products can stand in a case. Three options widen what "every way" means.
Products lying down
Orientation on the arrangement page is Upright, Lying down or Either (the upright and the lying arrangements ranked as one list). A round product lies with its axis along the case's length or across its width, and both are worked out; a boxed product lies flat, and a carton may stand on its edge. Lying products may go in two to four layers where the count divides, with a divider pad between each.
The Bottle and vial cradle holds round products lying down: foam blocks across them, two under each row, each with a half-round saddle for each product. For glass lying down it is offered after the partitions. See Products lying down.
Shrink-wrapped trays
Pack style › Shrink-wrapped tray puts the products in a low tray with shrink film round the tray and the
products, in place of a fitment and a case. The tray comes from the library's trays (the Self-locking tray, the Tray
with glued corners and the Wrap-around case); its walls are a quarter of the products' height, at least 25 mm,
unless you give a height. The film is costed from its area at the price list's Film: shrink price, and on the 3D page
it is a thin, clear skin over the tray and the products. See Shrink-wrapped trays.

Mixed packs
Three bottles of red and three of white of another size: Add a product on the product page for each, with its count. The arrangements are worked out on the total count, and each product takes whole rows or whole columns, whichever makes the smaller pack. A row is as wide as its own product, so three 65 mm bottles and three 90 mm ones go in a row of 67 mm cells and a row of 92 mm cells, and the case is smaller than with every cell 92 mm. The bottle partitions, the platform insert with hole grid and the case insert grid are made with each cell its own size. See Mixed packs.

Your own designs take part
All three work with designs of your own too: comment lines at the head of a library design (// ROLE=FITMENT,
// FORM=SADDLE, // WHEN LYING=YES …) say how it takes part. See
Adding your own designs.
