Compressibility

Handle compressible products

Last updated 17 May 2024

At Skrym, we enhance the efficiency of shipping textiles by optimizing space with adjustable compressibility factors, reducing air and ensuring efficient transit. πŸŒΏπŸ“¦

Configuring Compressibility for Products:

πŸ›‘οΈ To configure the compressibility factors, follow these two essential steps:

  1. Tag the compressible product as a textile πŸ“Š When inserting products, tag the compressible products as textiles to enable the compressibility feature. This can be done by setting the type in the family field to textile.

  2. Assign an appropriate compression factor πŸ”— Next, add the compressibility factor to the product by setting the volumeCompressionFactor field in the family object. This factor is a decimal value in the range (-1.0, 1.0). An appropriate value for the compression factor can be determined based on the table below,

Compression FactorCompressibility
-1Incompressible
Less than 0 but greater than -1Low compressibility
0 up to and including 1High compressibility
