The Right Size for Custom Mailer Boxes Before Ordering

The Right Size for Custom Mailer Boxes Before Ordering 

“How to measure the size of a box” is not an absurd inquiry. 

Because carriers and freight companies either charge by the dimensional weight (volume) or the actual weight of a shipment, knowing exactly how to measure a box is essential for shipping. 

You might be questioned about the dimensions, volume, or girth of your product.

Getting Started with Measuring Box Dimensions

You must first know the dimensions of your product before you can calculate the box dimensions. 

There is no magic formula in this situation, but it is better to measure your goods using the conventional length x breadth x height formula because it will keep you and your product packaging provider on the same page. 

The box that will hold your product should, in general, be just a little bit bigger than the product itself. Minimizing wiggle space helps prevent your goods from shifting inside and breaking.

The Three Dimensions of Custom Mailer Boxes

Knowing how to measure a box’s dimensions precisely is the first step to making the ideal packaging.

Even though it might seem like simple math, taking care while measuring your measurements calls for some thought.

So, just what dimensions are required?

Box measurements are typically made using the length, width, and depth parameters. Start by taking the following measurements by looking at the box’s top opening:

  • Length: The side that is the longest when viewed from the top of the box.
  • Width: The side of the box that is narrower when viewed from the top.
  • Depth (Height): The angle between the length and the width.

The depth will be the largest measurement in a tall or upward-facing box, while the length and breadth will be smaller.

Measuring a Box’s Outside or Inside Dimensions

Making the outer measures while determining a box’s dimensions is a typical error. This method of measuring box dimensions does not adequately account for the box’s thickness, especially if you’re using a heavier material, like corrugated cardboard. 

Corrugated cardboard’s double-walled construction can significantly increase mass. Therefore, regardless of how thick the walls of your product packaging are, using interior measures provides a flawless fit for the product.

Using outside dimensions runs the danger of producing custom mailer boxes that are too tiny, causing your products to either not fit at all or to be pressed up against the container’s side. 

Because of this, the majority of businesses that offer product packaging demand that box dimensions be calculated from the inside rather than the outside.

How to Minimize Shipping Costs

It’s critical to keep a watch on shifting shipping rates as global shipping expenses rise. To retain the best shipping rates, small enterprises should bear a few suggestions in mind.

  • Verify that the custom mailer boxes you use are appropriate for your goods. You will spend extra if you use a large box for a tiny or lightweight good because of the additional space the package requires. Huge custom mailer boxes result in large dimensional weights, which translate into higher transportation costs.
  • Using “ships in own container” (SIOC) packaging (your product’s packaging is what you affix a shipping label on so you won’t need to pack it in another box) or reusing old custom mailer boxes might help you lower the cost of your shipment. For smaller things, poly mailers, which weigh significantly less than custom mailer boxes, can be substituted.
  • Verify whether your e-commerce platform offers any lowered shipping costs. 

Methods for Determining Dimensional Weight

  • To determine the cubic size of the box, multiply the length, width, and height.
  • Divide the cubic volume of the box by the shipping carrier’s factor. The retail dimensional weight divisor for FedEx and UPS is 139, and the dim factor for packages smaller than 1,728 cubic inches for DHL and USPS is 166. (or 1 cubic foot). 

The shipping firms’ costs depend on the box’s size and the delivery’s destination. Your shipping costs will be calculated by the cubic size of the shipment and the location. For accurate shipping charges, the dimensional weight must be exact and not at all rounded. Get custom boxes wholesale from The Custom Boxez.
