Verified Mathematical Model & Formulation
Estimated Cartons = (Container Usable CBM / Carton CBM) × Efficiency Factor (0.85 - 0.92)
Calculates carton volume in CBM and divides container practical volume accounting for packing efficiency based on carton modularity.
Configurable Parameters & Standard Units
- Carton Length: (Default: 45 cm)
- Carton Width: (Default: 35 cm)
- Carton Height: (Default: 25 cm)
Standard Worked Example & Practical Verification
Scenario: Loading cartons 45 cm × 35 cm × 25 cm into a 20ft ocean container.
Calculated Solution
~711 Cartons in a 20ft Container (~1,470 in 40ft)
Practical Takeaway: Standardize carton dimensions to modular container dimensions to maximize yield.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why does carton size affect container capacity?
If carton dimensions are not multiples of the container’s internal dimensions (width: 2.35m, height: 2.39m), large gaps will be left along walls and roof.
