Enter your product dimensions and get the recommended internal box size, an approximate flat blank size for material planning, and the dimensional weight carriers use to price your parcel. Free, no sign up.
This is the inside measurement of the box, not the outside. Boxes are always specified by internal dimensions, because that is what has to fit your product. The clearance added depends on the fit you chose. Snug adds a small tolerance for light retail items, standard suits most products, and padded leaves room for tissue, foam, or a fitted insert.
Before a box is folded it is a flat sheet, called the blank. The blank size drives how much material each box uses, which is one of the things that drives cost. The number here is an estimate for planning. The exact blank depends on board thickness, tuck depth, and glue flap allowances, and is confirmed when the dieline is prepared.
Carriers charge on whichever is higher, the actual weight of your parcel or its dimensional weight. Dimensional weight is calculated from the size of the box, so an oversized box costs you money on every single order even when the product inside is light. This is the most common and most expensive packaging mistake we see. Sizing the box properly to the product usually pays for itself quickly.

Because carriers price on dimensional weight when it is higher than actual weight. A large light parcel is charged as if it were heavy, so wasted space costs you on every order.
No. It is an approximation for planning and material estimates. The final dieline depends on board thickness, style, tuck depth, and glue flaps.
