Corrugated Boxes & Shipping Boxes

How to Measure a Packing Box

• Listed dimensions are always inside dimensions.
• Length is always the longest side of the box that has a flap.
• Width is the shorter side of the box that also has a flap.
• Depth measurements do not have a flap.
• NOTE: Acceptable manufacturing variance is approx. +/- 1/8”

Helpful Hints

• The first dimension is Length.
• The second dimension is Width
• Depth is the 3rd dimension and the only side without a flap..
• To ship via UPS or FedEx, surround each item with 2” of packing material and place each item 2” away from the walls of the box.
• To ship via USPS, surround each item with packing materials until items are no longer moving around in the box.
