Case-to-pallet search
Compare feasible pallet patterns against the actual platform, permitted case orientations, overhang, gaps, height, mass and operating constraints.
Free palletisation & logistics planning tool
Turn a packaging idea into a load plan you can interrogate.
LoadBlueprint connects product, case, pallet, stack, vehicle, cost and carbon assumptions in one browser-based study—so you can compare fit before physical trials and commercial commitments.

One connected model
Every packaging decision travels downstream.
A pallet pattern alone is not a complete load plan. LoadBlueprint follows the decision from the primary pack through the shipping case, pallet and vehicle—while keeping commercial and carbon assumptions visible.
Change one input and the connected case, pallet, transport and impact outputs are recalculated together—so an apparent improvement cannot quietly create a worse result somewhere else.
What it models
From a single shipper to the wider logistics system.
Use the modules you need. The tool can begin with a known case, a measured product or bundle, a transport question, or a full packaging-system study.
Product-to-case design
Build candidate outer cases from measured packs or bundles, fit allowances, board caliper and simplified partition rules—then test each candidate through the live pallet model.
Complete-stack screening
Review layer sequence, partial layers, interlayer placement, contact support and calculated load transfer, with an advisory compression check tied to a stated evidence basis.
Vehicle and container fit
Place the selected unit load into an editable vehicle or container profile and compare floor utilisation, payload utilisation and movements per year.
Dimension and portfolio analysis
Screen permitted case-dimension changes and evaluate a private browser-based case library for consolidation opportunities under common pallet and transport constraints.
Cost, carbon and reporting
Add optional commercial inputs and bounded carbon factors, compare against a saved baseline, and produce a reviewable report with exports for further work.
Four starting points
Use what you already know.
Each workflow opens the same connected engine at a different point. You do not have to complete a full-system study to answer a focused question.
Existing case
Palletise a case
Start with a confirmed shipper and compare feasible pallet layouts and complete stacks.
Case→Layer→Complete load
Start with product
Design a case
Build candidate case envelopes around a measured primary pack or bundle, then palletise the result.
Product→Case→Pallet→Load
Add distribution
Plan transport
Carry the selected pallet into an editable vehicle or container floor and payload analysis.
Product→Case→Pallet→Transport
Complete study
Optimise the system
Connect packaging, pallet, vehicle, commercial and carbon assumptions in one study.
Product→Case→Pallet→Transport→Impact
How it works
Structured enough to be useful. Flexible enough for early work.
LoadBlueprint does not hide the study behind a single score. Inputs, constraints, alternatives and assumptions remain available for review.
Choose the workflow
Begin with the case, product, transport plan or complete packaging system.
Enter the real limits
Use measured dimensions, mass, orientations, clearances, height and payload limits.
Compare feasible options
Inspect ranked patterns, case candidates, dimension changes or portfolio opportunities.
Review the whole stack
Check the visuals, constraint trace, evidence basis and exports before taking action.
What you receive
A plan you can inspect—not a decorative pallet count.
The selected result is shown from several angles, with the operating limits and modelling basis kept alongside it.

Clear boundaries
Useful planning depends on knowing what the model does not prove.
The result is only as reliable as the dimensions, masses, constraints and evidence entered. Always confirm the finished commercial system under its real manufacturing, storage, handling and distribution conditions.
What LoadBlueprint is
- A free browser-based engineering planning screen
- A connected case, pallet and logistics geometry model
- A bounded search across visible assumptions and constraints
- A way to compare alternatives before detailed validation
- A reviewable report and data-export starting point
What LoadBlueprint is not
- A certified pallet, case, vehicle or load-restraint design
- Proof of case strength, manufacturability or transit performance
- A finite-element, dynamic-distribution or long-term creep model
- A legal loading, road-transport or regulatory approval
- A product carbon footprint, lifecycle assessment, supplier quote or financial forecast
Frequently asked questions
Before you start.
Is LoadBlueprint free?
Yes. The current public-beta tool is free to use and does not require an account. If optional paid services or advanced workflow features are introduced later, they will be separate and clearly identified.
What information can I start with?
You can start with a confirmed shipping case, a measured product or bundle, a transport-planning question, or a full packaging-system study. The workflow determines which sections open first, while the underlying model remains connected.
Does it design the shipping case?
It can generate and compare simplified orthogonal product arrangements and case envelopes using the fit, board and partition allowances you enter. It does not create a production dieline, determine converted features, prove line compatibility or replace supplier engineering.
Does the compression result prove the pallet load is safe?
No. The compression module is an advisory screen using the evidence basis you select. It does not model every influence on real case performance, including moisture history, creep, scores, openings, handling damage, pallet deflection, product load-sharing, vibration or shock. Confirm the finished unit load with suitable specifications, testing and competent review.
Can it tell me whether a vehicle load is legal?
No. It can compare the entered internal envelope, pallet clearance and payload limit and may provide contextual reference notes. Legal compliance depends on the current jurisdiction, route, vehicle, axle configuration, loading method and other conditions outside the model.
What happens to the information I enter?
The working draft, saved comparison and case-library records are stored in your browser on the device you use. They are not account records. Exports occur only when you choose them. A shareable scenario link contains the scenario information in the link itself, so review it before sharing and do not enter confidential formulations, pricing or proprietary specifications.
Can I use metric and imperial units?
Yes. You can switch the interface between metric and imperial units. The underlying calculation preserves a consistent internal basis while presenting the selected unit system.
Can I save or export the result?
Yes. You can print or save the report as a PDF, download the selected scenario as JSON, export case coordinates where available, and download CSV outputs from the case-design and case-library modules.
Start with the decision in front of you
Build the load plan. Then challenge it.
Use measured information where you have it, keep assumptions visible where you do not, and treat the result as the beginning of technical review—not the end of it.
LoadBlueprint is provided by Circular Blueprint for general informational, educational and early-stage engineering-planning purposes. It does not provide legal, regulatory, safety, structural, transport or commercial approval and does not replace competent review, supplier confirmation or physical validation of the finished system.
