Packing volume is the outer packed size, often used for sea freight, containers and storage. Volume in cubic metres = length × width × height (cm) ÷ 1,000,000. Multiply by the number of pieces for a total. Volumetric weight is shown for comparison, but CBM itself does not depend on a DIM divisor; the divisor is only used for the accompanying DIM weight. Follow the carrier or warehouse measuring rule.
Volume per piece (m³) = L × W × H (cm) ÷ 1,000,000, which is also cubic centimetres ÷ 1,000,000. Total volume = volume per piece × the number of pieces.
40×30×20 = 24,000 cm³, which divided by 1,000,000 is 0.024 m³.
No. Packing volume is the volume in cubic metres. Volumetric weight converts that volume into kilograms using a carrier divisor.
Enter the number of pieces and the total is volume per piece × that count. If the cartons differ in size, calculate each size separately and add them.
