Compressibility
Handle compressible products
At Skrym, we enhance the efficiency of shipping textiles by optimizing space with adjustable compressibility factors, reducing air, and ensuring efficient transit. 🌿📦
Configuring Compressibility for Products
🛡️ To configure compressibility factors, follow these two essential steps:
-
Tag the compressible product as a textile 📊 When inserting products, tag the compressible products as textiles to enable the compressibility feature. This can be done by setting the
typein thefamilyfield totextile. -
Assign an appropriate compression factor 🔗 Next, add the compressibility factor to the product by setting the
volumeCompressionFactorfield in thefamilyobject. 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 Factor | Compressibility |
|---|---|
| -1 | Incompressible |
| Less than 0 but greater than -1 | Low compressibility |
| 0 up to and including 1 | High compressibility |
