How this calculator works

Capacity checks all six right-angle carton orientations against nominal internal container dimensions and selects the highest grid count.

Worked example

A 60 × 40 × 35 cm carton can be compared in all orientations; the highest mathematical grid is shown before loading losses.

How to measure

  1. Use external carton dimensions.
  2. Allow space for dunnage and loading access.
  3. Verify the specific equipment supplied by your carrier.
