Abstract: A method for loading boxes in containers is provided. Characteristics of a set of containers having substantially equal dimensions are obtained. Characteristics of a plurality of boxes to be packed into one or more of the set of containers are obtained. A set of layer descriptors is created, each layer descriptor including a layer thickness, identifiers of boxes assigned to the layer, and a description of an arrangement of the boxes in the layer. Each of the boxes is assigned to a single layer descriptor. An optimized assignment of the layer descriptors to containers is determined. An ordered list of box loading instructions for each container is generated. The boxes are loaded in their assigned containers according to the ordered list for the container.
