Size Matters
The right box size protects your product AND saves shipping money. Too big and you pay for air. Too small and your product doesn’t fit.
Internal vs. External Dimensions
Type | What It Means |
Internal dimensions | Space inside the box (where product sits) |
External dimensions | Outside size (for shipping cost calculation) |
Rule: Always specify internal dimensions when ordering.
How to Measure Your Product
- Measure length, width, and height
- Add padding space (at least 5–10mm each side)
- Choose the box that fits snugly
The 5mm Rule
Gap | Problem |
Demasiado apertado | Product doesn’t fit |
Snug (5mm gap) | Perfect — product fits with padding |
Too loose (20mm+) | Product rattles, wasted space |
Standard Box Sizes
Box Size | Ideal para |
Small (100×100×100mm) | Small products, accessories |
Medium (200×150×100mm) | Most e-commerce products |
Large (300×200×200mm) | Larger items, multiple products |
Extra large (400×300×300mm) | Bulky items, multi-item orders |
Why Size Affects Cost
Fator | Impacto |
Box size | Bigger box = more material cost |
Shipping size | Dimensional weight = more cost |
Void fill | Bigger box = more packing material |
Storage | Bigger box = more warehouse space |
Right Size = Right Cost
Box Size | Custo relativo |
Perfect fit | 1× (base) |
10% too big | +10–15% |
30% too big | +30–40% |
Common Sizing Mistakes
- Measuring external, not internal — Product doesn’t fit
- No padding space — Product touches box, gets damaged
- Box too big — Product rattles, wasted shipping cost
- Ignoring dimensional weight — Shipping costs more than expected
