How this calculator works
CBM = length × width × height × quantity, converted to cubic meters.
Worked example
Ten cartons measuring 60 × 40 × 35 cm occupy 0.84 m³ before pallet or loading allowances.
How to measure
- Measure the outer carton, including seams.
- Use the maximum dimension when cartons bulge.
- Count identical cartons in one line.
Common mistakes
- Entering millimeters as centimeters.
- Forgetting to multiply by carton quantity.
- Treating theoretical CBM as usable container capacity.
