Described herein are exemplary systems and methods for the optimization of shipping cartons relative to the contents of orders to be placed therein. An exemplary carton optimization method evaluates a sample size of orders received at a given location and then determines an optimal carton set that includes at least one feasible carton for each order, while also minimizing shipping costs based on dimensional weighing-based pricing by reducing the dimensional weight, thereby minimizing void space and increasing the carton space utilization percentage. An exemplary carton optimization method may be further customized to optimize a carton set for an order, based on the cartons already available at a given warehouse or other site. As a result, cartons are utilized and designed more efficiently at the site.

A system and method for developing optimized cargo transportation solutions. The system may include a number of different modules (programs) that may be executed individually, or in series when an exemplary system includes the programs operating sequentially. Input to the programs may be obtained from the shipment files of an entity for whom a transportation solution is being created. The output of one program may act as at least a partial input to the next program when the programs are executed sequentially. One or more of the programs may employ optimization procedures such as ant colony optimization procedures and/or local improvement heuristics. The systems and methods are provided to determine a most cost effective shipping solution for given cargo.
