Box Measurements 101
Please note that it is an industry standard to almost always present the inside packaging measurements of custom boxes. These are displayed as L x W x D (Length x Width x Depth) in the unit of inches.
How to Determine the Size of a Box
Understanding the dimensions of your box is similar to packing a suitcase for a trip. Begin by collecting the contents you wish to ship in your package.
Lay out the item or items on a table or flat surface just as you wish to display them in the final packaging.
Measure and record the L x W x D.
Finally, add 1/16 - 1/18" to each measurement. This will ensure every item is packaged just right.
Expert tip: We strongly recommend that you measure your dimensions at least twice to ensure every specification is correct.
