Container Loading Calculator

Estimate how many boxes fit in a container.

Boxes that fit 561

Formula: boxes = floor(container * packing / box volume)

Step-by-step with your numbers:

1. Values used:

2. Container volume = 33 m3

3. Box volume = 0.05 m3

4. Packing efficiency = 0.85

6. Boxes that fit = 561

Did we solve your problem today?

Estimate container capacity by volume, allowing for wasted space.

The math behind it

boxes = floor(container volume x packing efficiency / box volume). Packing is ~85% because boxes never fit perfectly.

A 33 m3 container holds about 561 boxes of 0.05 m3.

Why apply a packing factor?

Gaps, irregular shapes and bracing reduce usable volume.
