How to measure a box?

When measuring a cardboard box, it is important to consider three key dimensions: length, width and height. These measurements provide the internal dimensions of the carton, allowing you to define the space available to pack products and ensure they fit properly.

The dimensions provided on our website are in Millimetres and are following the order LENGTH x WIDTH X HEIGHT.

To measure correctly a cardboard box follow these instructions:

1. Length: start by measuring the longest side of the box base

2. Width: rotate the box 90 degres and measured the other side of the box base

3. Height:measure the distance from the base to the top

Postal Guide

One of the easiest ways to derive the maximum benefit from your deliveries is to use the postal option that is most closely tailored to your product and that aligns perfectly with the standards, dimensions and weights stipulated by the Royal Mail, ensuring you keep prices as low as possible for you and your customers and reducing difficulties with delays and damaged packages. This allows your business to keep the processing of orders and shipping as streamlined as possible, saving you time and money.

Epack offers a full range of Royal Mail-compliant envelopes and parcels for all your delivery needs, including two envelope types and three parcel types.

The letter and large letter envelopes can take weights of up to 750 grams, making them ideal for greeting cards, folded and unfolded letters, magazines and small objects such as DVDs or plastic cards. By using the standard Royal Mail dimensions, you ensure that your shipping costs as little as possible, is less likely to experience delays, and will fit standard mail slots in the UK, minimising delivery problems and the administrative burden of lost and damaged packages. The two different sizes allow you to tailor your packaging to the letter content, allowing you to minimise costs for simple document shipping with standard letters.

Royal Mail parcels come in three sizes – small, medium and large – and can accommodate items from 2 kg up to 30 kg. Whether your company specialises in clothing, electronics or games and entertainment, any potential product offered by your business will find the perfect parcel type to match and provide the necessary size and weight capacity to ensure smooth and safe delivery with adequate protective packaging.
