One of the most common mistakes in packaging selection is using boxes that do not match the product dimensions. Oversized boxes increase shipping costs and put product safety at risk. Undersized boxes, on the other hand, can cause product deformation.
Properly dimensioned corrugated cardboard boxes provide cost advantages and contribute to more efficient logistics processes.
Shipping companies generally calculate pricing based on the following criteria:
Box volume
Weight (dimensional / volumetric weight)
Transportation safety
Packaging type
Therefore, choosing the correct box dimensions has a direct impact on reducing transportation costs.
The width, length, and height of the product must be determined precisely. During measurement, internal clearance allowances for packaging should also be considered.
If separators, honeycomb panels, corner protectors, or filling materials will be used, the space they occupy must be included in the overall dimensions.
E flute: For lightweight and aesthetic products
B flute: For medium-weight products
C flute: For products requiring durability
BC flute: For heavy and industrial products
Choosing the correct flute type prevents the box from being unnecessarily thick or insufficiently strong.
As box volume decreases, dimensional weight is reduced, resulting in lower shipping costs.
Boxes that fit the product precisely prevent movement during transportation.
Standardized and properly dimensioned boxes allow more efficient use of warehouse space.
