Measuring a Box

Box Dimensions

Without exception, the size of a corrugated coardboard box is always expressed by three dimensions: Length, then Width, then Depth.
(L x W x D)

These measurements refer to the inside dimensions of an assembled box, to assure the fit of your product.

At the same time, palletizing and distributing the boxes depends on the outside dimensions.

Our staff will work with you to make sure sizes and allowances are correct.


For custom designs and die cuts, our Designers will also help you determine score and slotting measurements.

Pads

Measure the length and width of the pad. Corrugation runs along the length measurement. Pads may be scored.

Flute type is also needed, which indicates the depth of the pad.

A Flute  =  3/16"
C Flute  =  5/32"
B Flute  =   1/8"
E Flute  =  1/16" 

Partitions

Our designers require the inside box dimensions into which the partition will fit as well as the number of cells in rows and columns. The depth of the partition is needed.
