Hi the items are 1st item values are: width:203.2 lenght:203.2 height:12.7 I am adding it with quantity of 4 2nd item values are: width:304.8 lenght:381 height:76.2 I am adding it with quantity of 2 And the two boxes values are: 1st box (large one): outerwidth:396.875 outerLength:320.675 outerDepth:177.8 innerWidth:400.05 innerLength:320.675 innerDepth:177.8 2nd box (small one): outerwidth:396.875 outerLength:320.675 outerDepth:101.6 innerWidth:396.875 innerLength:317.5 innerDepth:98.425 The items should come in the small box but it's been packed in the large one Thanks

@hmza27 I'm not the developer, but I do use this BoxPacker in our software.

1. The dimensions are expected to be integer, not float.

2. I also note that the inner and outer length of box 1 are the same, and inner and outer width of box 2 are the same, is this intentional?

3. Just by checking the total overall volume, I don't see how they can fit in the small box.

Total volume of items: 4 * 203.2 * 203.2 * 12.7 + 2 * 304.8 * 381 * 76.2 = 19,795,573.312 Total volume of small box: 396.875 * 317.5 * 98.425 = 12,402,318.9453

19 (item volume) > 12 (box volume) so the items can't fit.
