TOPS Pro Tutorial - TOPS - Packaging Software

Case: Use the default (New).
Style: Select Tray (Shrink Wrap).
Flute: Use the default (F Flute).
Sizing: Select Values.
Values: Enter 4.
Note: At this point, we don't know the dimensions of the tray, so we
won't enter any values for length, etc. Instead, we'll select New in the
Case field, which directs TOPS Pro to design a tray with the
dimensions to accommodate whatever number of bottles are placed
inside it.
Note: The Sizing field gives you two options: (1) define a range of
bottles to place in a tray or (2) define a set value of bottles to place in a
tray. Because your bottles are arranged in six-pack units, a set value,
we'll select Values in the Sizing field and enter 6 in the Values field.
3. You want the tray to have six-pack dividers, so click on the Dividers
button.
System Response: The Dividers dialog box appears, as pictured
below.
4. Use the following field to define the specific divider parameters:
Style: Select (A) 2-Way Cell.
5. After defining divider parameters, click on OK.
System Response: TOPS Pro stores your dividers parameters to
memory and redisplays the Intermediate Pack Parameters dialog box.
6. After completing the tray parameters, click on OK.
System Response: TOPS Pro stores your tray parameters to memory
and redisplays the Control Panel.
