Three calculators.
Zero sales calls.
Everything a decent supplier should have told you before quoting, built so you can work it out yourself and check our numbers against your own.

Tell us what you have or what you need. A real person in Houston reads every one of these — usually within a couple of hours during dock time.
Grade Decoder
Six questions about weight, stack, storage, humidity, audience and material behaviour. Out comes a wall count, a grade, a footprint and a wall height you can paste into a purchase order.
02 · Freight mathsLoad Planner
Pick a size and a quantity and see how many 53-foot trailers it takes, how full the last one is, and exactly how much freight you burn by shipping assembled instead of flat.
03 · Auditable basisImpact Calculator
Enter your monthly box consumption and your average trips per box. Get CO₂e avoided, fiber kept in service, and the tree, water and energy equivalents — with the calculation basis printed underneath.
Because the alternative is quoting into a fog
Most of the bad orders we see — over-specified walls, wrong grade, freight that costs more than the boxes — come from buyers who were never given the reasoning. A buyer who understands the physics writes a better RFQ, and a better RFQ is cheaper for everybody.
These tools give away most of what a salesperson would normally hold back. We are comfortable with that, because our advantage is a yard full of graded stock in Houston, not an information gap.
The tools — common questions
Are the tools free, and do they need an email address?
All three are free and none of them asks for an email address or gates a result behind a form. Use them and leave without speaking to us if that suits you.
What does the Grade Decoder do?
Six questions about your load, storage and audience return a wall count, a grade and a footprint — often a cheaper specification than the one you came in expecting.
What does the Load Planner do?
It converts a quantity into trailers. Knocked-down boxes ship roughly four times as densely as assembled ones, and the planner shows what that is worth on your order.
What does the Impact Calculator do?
It estimates the fiber and CO₂e saved by reusing graded boxes instead of buying new, with the methodology published so you can check the arithmetic.
Are the results a quote?
No. They are a specification you can send us, and they are usually right. The quote adds current stock, landed freight and anything the tools cannot see about your site.
