Corrugated Box Dimension Guide

Direct answer: For corrugated boxes, start with inside dimensions. Then confirm ECT grade, wall type, color, bundle quantity, and whether a nearby larger or smaller carton is acceptable.

FAQ

Are box dimensions inside or outside?

Packaging buyers should treat listed box dimensions as inside dimensions unless the product page states otherwise.

Is ECT-44 the same as ECT-32?

No. ECT-44 is a higher edge-crush rating than ECT-32 and should not be swapped without confirming the workflow.
