To ensure clarity regarding the dimensions of each box, including length, width, height, depth, and how to measure a box, we’ve established dimension guidelines for precise reference and effective communication, eliminating any potential confusion about which sides of your packaging these terms pertain to.

Note :

  • All box dimensions are expressed in the format of length x width x height. For example, when written as 15″ x 12″ x 5″,’ it signifies 15 inches in length (L), 12 inches in width (W), and 5 inches in height (H).
  • You can specify your dimensions in inches ( will be accurate to 1/8 of an inch), in Centimeters (CM), or in Millimeters (MM). 
  • Also, Let us know whether the box dimensions you are providing refer to the inner or outer measurements of the box.
Ordering packaging samples before placing a final order can be a wise choice, especially when you’re unsure about the sizes you need for your packaging. It allows you to assess the quality and suitability of the packaging products before making a larger commitment.
