Measure the complete packed set
Place every item, protective wrap and insert in the intended arrangement. Record the maximum length, width and height in millimetres. Include lids, handles or projections that affect fit.
State internal or external dimensions
Nominal catalogue dimensions do not establish the usable interior. Label the requested measurement basis and ask for the internal drawing of the selected construction. The board, wrap and insert occupy space.
Agree the fit and insert
Tell the supplier whether products must sit tightly in an insert or leave room for manual packing. Agree clearance and tolerances for the actual item; there is no universal allowance for every product.
Confirm on the actual sample
Check fit, removal, closure and handling with the intended products inside. Reference the accepted dimensions, insert and artwork in the quotation and repeat-order specification.
Choose the packaging for your project
Compare the range and prepare your box specification.
