Work out container utilisation for order instantly with clear inputs, formula shown and shareable results.
Container loading is limited by whichever of volume and weight binds first, with a 90% stowage factor applied to volume because cartons never pack perfectly. Knowing which constraint binds tells you whether to redesign the carton or reduce the product weight.
Cartons by volume
By volume = floor(Container volume x 90% / Carton volume)
Cartons by weight
By weight = floor(Payload limit / Carton weight)
Cartons per container
Cartons = min(By volume, By weight)
Because pallets, dunnage and imperfect fit mean you never achieve the nominal internal volume. 85-92% is the practical range.
Reducing carton weight or product density adds no capacity; you need a heavier-payload container or to accept partial volume utilisation.
