AI Packaging

AI packaging helps vendors create structured packaging levels from an existing product packaging description. Use this feature when a product already has packaging text and you want Mathership to turn it into clear levels such as crate, carton, bottle, bag, kg, L, piece, or similar units.

What it does

AI packaging reads the packaging information of a vendor product and tries to create packaging levels automatically. Example:
Packaging textPossible structure
Crate with 12 bottlesCrate → Bottle
Carton with 6 packsCarton → Pack
Bag 25 kgBag → kg
Box with 10 piecesBox → Piece
The result depends on how clear the packaging text is.

Who can use it?

This feature is available to vendor users. A vendor can only update packaging levels for products that belong to their own vendor company.
Vendors cannot update packaging levels for products from another vendor company.

When to use it

Use this feature when:
  • The product already has a packaging description
  • You want to create packaging levels faster
  • You want Mathership to suggest a structured packaging setup
  • The packaging text is simple and clear
It is useful for common product formats such as crates, cartons, bottles, bags, packs, cans, kilograms, liters, and pieces.

How it works

Mathership checks that:
  • The user is logged in
  • The user owns the vendor company
  • The product belongs to that vendor company
  • The product exists
  • Packaging information is available for the product
Then Mathership tries to read the packaging text and update the product packaging levels.

Packaging levels

Packaging levels describe how a product is packaged and ordered.
Level typeExample
Top levelCarton
Inner levelBottle
Unit levelkg, L, piece, bottle
Example:
LevelNameMeaning
1CrateCustomer orders one crate
2BottleOne crate contains bottles

Example: Crate with bottles

A vendor has a product with this packaging text:
Crate with 12 bottles
Mathership may create:
LevelQuantity
Crate1
Bottle12
This helps customers understand how the product is packaged and ordered.

Example: Bag with weight

A vendor has a product with this packaging text:
Bag 25 kg
Mathership may create:
LevelQuantity
Bag1
kg25
This can be useful for products where the vendor sells a bag, but the content is measured in kilograms.

After generation

If generation succeeds, the product receives updated packaging levels. These levels can then be used in product views, ordering, exports, and other product-related features. If Mathership cannot understand the packaging text, it does not create a valid packaging setup and returns an error.

Common reasons generation fails

Generation may fail if:
  • The product does not exist
  • The product belongs to another vendor company
  • The packaging text is missing
  • The packaging text is unclear
  • The packaging format cannot be parsed
  • The user does not have access to the vendor company

AI or manual setup?

MethodBest for
AI packagingQuickly creating packaging levels from existing text
Manual packagingExact control over every packaging level
Use AI packaging when you want a fast suggestion. Use manual packaging when the packaging structure is complex or must be entered very precisely.

Best practices

Use clear packaging descriptions

AI packaging works best when the packaging text is simple and specific. Good examples:
  • Crate with 12 bottles
  • Box with 10 packs
  • Bag 25 kg
  • Carton with 6 cans

Review the result

Always review the generated packaging levels before relying on them for ordering or exports.

Use manual setup for complex products

If a product has several nested packaging levels, manual setup may be safer.

Keep product data clean

Clear article names, packaging text, and units make product management easier for vendors and customers.
