| Summary: | Rectangular and triangular array arrangements of cans in a box were mathematically analyzed. A set of developed equations offers systematic approach of comparing two patterns. In general, a triangular array shows a better economical way for loading cylindrical cans in a box. Sets of best can packing were tabulated which can assist packaging engineers to understand and select a better efficient arrangement of cans in a box. The required smallest volume and least surface area of box obtained from this analysis lead to find the most economical way in arrangement of cylindrical cans in box. |
