The Standard Way to Measure a Box (L × W × H)

Box dimensions are always measured in a specific sequence: Length × Width × Height. Following the same standard ensures clear communication between your business and your packaging supplier.

• Length (L): The longest side of the opening at the top.

• Width (W): The shorter side of the opening at the top.

• Height (H): The distance from the opening down to the base of the box.

Internal vs External Dimensions

It’s crucial to understand whether your packaging supplier requires internaloexternal dimensions:

• Internal dimensions are used to ensure the product fits comfortably inside. This is common in custom rigid boxes, perfume boxes, and chocolate packaging boxes.

• External dimensions matter for shipping boxes, where carriers like UPS, FedEx, and DHL use external measurements to calculate dimensional weight for shipping costs.
