Calculation Results
Technical Note
This calculator uses axis-aligned positioning. In real-world scenarios, professional loading software might find slightly more space by rotating cartons or using interleaved patterns. Always allow for 5-10% "empty space" (broken stowage) for dunnage and loading ease.
Safety Warning
Never exceed the Maximum Payload printed on the container door or specified by your carrier.
CBM Calculation
Cubic Meters (CBM) is the standard unit for sea freight. (L x W x H in cm) / 1,000,000.
How to use this tool
Select your standard container size (20ft, 40ft, or 40ft High Cube).
Enter the external dimensions of your export carton (Length, Width, Height) in centimeters.
Enter the gross weight of a single carton in kilograms.
Enter the planned total quantity of cartons to ship.
Review the volume and weight utilization charts to ensure you stay within safety limits.
