Measuring Boxes to Ship

If you're someone who is looking for the correct boxes for products, both in terms of the size, and the branding, it’s vital to ensure that you’re getting the lowest costs possible, and the highest recognition of the brand that you can get. The costs for shipping ultimately depend on the width, the length, and also the box depth that you have. measuring all of this allows for someone to calculate the main amounts, and it offers the shipping amounts and decisions that impact all of this.

If you’re someone who wants to measure boxes, you need to make sure that ultimately, you’re using a box that’s the optimal size for the job.

You want to make sure that you have the length, the height, and the width of the box. Height is also the box depth, so it’s pretty easy to figure out. To start with, get a box, and then measure it from one end to the next on the side that’s the longest. You Have your length once that's calculated. Then of course, you do the same with the shorter areas of the box, and that of course, gives you the width.

Then, you want to measure the height of the box, from the inner part to the nearest part of the top. It’s best that you round up with this, since it offers an accurate measurement, and then, you can from there figure out the correct packaging that’s needed, and whether or not it’s ideal for the product.

You’ll want to, with standard boxes, make sure that you determine the product size based on the nearest inch that you can get. For the sake of simplicity, let’s say that you’ve got some calendars that are sitting there, which measure 9 inches in terms of length, and from there, you have a height that’s 5 inches. They’re also 9 inches wide. 

With that in mind, you want to make sure that you have a box that fits this, but also you don’t want it to be something that you want that’s got too much wiggle room, lest you want this to be crushed. 

Once you’ve figured out the box size, then you can get onto the fun part of this, and you can order it online, and then, they can give you the packaging that you need.

You’ll want to make sure that you get boxes that use the minimal amounts of packaging internally, while still offering the best product protection that you can. For instance, you may go an inch above with the calendars on all sides, in order to offer a little bit of room for void fill or anything.  It’s best if you leave a little bit of room in this case, in the event that you want to add any freebies, or if it requires some void fill.

Remember, you don’t want to make the packaging too small, in the event that it crushes the items, or it causes problems with it fitting.

But on the flip side, you also don’t want to make it too big. If you leave too much room, the items can get jostled, and from there, you can have issues with the possible integrity of the box.

  

You should contact a retailer if you're interested in having boxes that fit the measurements that you need, and if you’ve got any questions, you’ll be able to, with this, get all of them answered as quickly as you can, and you can after all of that, get the boxes that you need, and it offers a better means for you to get everything you need.
