Frequently asked questions
How does the carton packing calculator work?
It tests permitted rectangular orientations and selects the arrangement with the highest whole-unit count.
Why not divide carton volume by product volume?
Volume-only division can overstate capacity because product dimensions may not align with carton dimensions.
Does it include packing material?
No. Reduce the entered internal carton dimensions to allow for dividers, cushioning and tolerances.
Can irregular products be calculated accurately?
No. Irregular, compressible or nested products need physical testing or specialist packing software.
