BEHIND THE NUMBERS

How this calculation works.

Void volume = (inside width × inside length × inside height − occupied volume) × count; mass = void volume × supplied packing density. Does not establish cushioning, shipping protection or safe density for a product.

Void volume = (inside width × inside length × inside height − occupied volume) × count; mass = void volume × supplied packing density.Calculated with normalised units
