HOW IT WORKS

Estimate how many cases and units fit an ocean container from your case dimensions, using a realistic packing allowance.

Enter your numbers

Pick the container (20ft, 40ft, or 40ft high-cube), enter case length, width, and height in inches, and optionally units per case.

We fill it

Case volume = L × W × H ÷ 1728 (cubic feet). Cases = usable container volume (85% of internal) ÷ case volume, rounded down.

Use the result

A cubic-fit estimate for planning — the 85% allowance covers stacking and dunnage. Confirm against weight limits and pallet patterns.
