Work through the task
- Measure the protected item envelope and required orientation.
- Enter target count and clearance, inspect regular-grid candidate shapes and compare practical constraints.
- Confirm finished external dimensions with the converter before using pallet or freight tools.
Tools for this job
Carton Size for Quantity Calculator
Find candidate internal carton dimensions for a target count of identical protected rectangular items, with explicit wall clearance, gaps and orientation rules.
Open calculator →Items per Carton Calculator
Evaluate six orthogonal orientations of identical rectangular envelopes.

Twelve 120 × 80 × 50 mm envelopes in a 3 × 2 × 2 grid with 5 mm wall clearance need 370 × 170 × 110 mm internally.
Use your supplier specification and quotation. These numbers demonstrate the arithmetic; they are not market prices or a packaging suitability assessment.
