Packaging size

What is a packaging size?

Packaging size refers to the physical dimensions (length, width, height) of a product’s shipping packaging. It directly affects storage space, shipping method, transport cost, and environmental impact.

Packaging sizes in eCommerce

In eCommerce, optimizing packaging size is crucial for minimizing shipping costs, reducing void fill, and improving warehouse efficiency. Too large packaging increases shipping expenses and carbon footprint, while too small packaging may lead to damage. With everstox, packaging sizes are managed centrally across all fulfillment centers, allowing precise carton matching, shipping automation, and transparent cost tracking.
