Use outside carton measurements
Measure the outside of the packed master carton in centimeters. Use the agreed units per carton. Calculate each carton type separately if pack-out or carton size varies.
Estimate cartons, shipment volume and gross weight
Use carton dimensions, units per carton and measured weights to prepare a shipment estimate for a beauty purchase order. Review the inputs before requesting freight.
What to specify before sourcing
Results are estimates based on the dimensions and weights provided. The carrier and packing team confirm chargeable weight, freight rates and final shipping measurements.
Account for the last carton
Round up to cover any partial carton, which can still occupy the full carton volume. Use the measured gross weight of the full and partial cartons where available. Account for pallets separately.
Share the estimate with your freight provider
Send the destination, transport mode, carton count, volume and weight, plus whether the cartons will be palletized. Confirm the billing basis against the final packed shipment.
Calculate cartons and shipment volume
Use your confirmed outer-carton dimensions. The estimate assumes one carton size, including the last partial carton.
