    Measure Shipping Success
    Step 1 : Measure for Shipping Success

    Measure the height, width, and depth of the shipment in inches. Measure to the farthest points, including skids or other packaging. On shipments with multiple pieces, repeat Step 1 for each piece.

    Calculate Total Cubic
    Step 2 : Calculate Total Cubic Inches

    Multiply the three measurements (height x width x depth). The result is the total cubic inches of the shipment. If you have multiple pieces, multiply the height x width x depth for each piece. Take the results for each piece and add them together to get the total cubic inches

    Cubic Inches to Cubic Feet
    Step 3 : Convert Cubic Inches to Cubic Feet

    To find the cubic feet of the shipment, divide the total cubic inches by 1,728 (the number of cubic inches in a cubic foot). This will provide the volume in cubic feet, helping you understand the shipment's size for storage and transport.

    Calculate Shipment Density
    Step 4 : Calculate Shipment Density

    To calculate the density of the shipment, divide its weight (in pounds) by the total cubic feet. This result gives you the pounds per cubic foot, providing insight into the shipment's density and helping with logistics and handling decisions.

    * For multiple pieces, add the weight of each piece together before dividing by the total cubic feet of the shipment.
    *Round fractions to the nearest full cubic foot number.

    For example, if the skid weighs 110 pounds with dimensions of 42 inches x 48 inches x 48 inches:

    LTL Shipments Follow NMFC Guidelines.

    The classes of shipments are primarily determined by the pounds per cubic foot, or density, of the product. Having a clear understanding of your product's dimensions is essential for accurately estimating shipping rates. By using these simple tools, you will be able to easily determine the density of your shipment and ensure precise cost assessments.

    Palletized Dimensions

    When a shipment is palletized, the pallet's dimensions dictate the cubic measurements. While the original carton dimensions stay the same, the overall cubic dimensions now incorporate those of the pallet, affecting the total volume for shipping calculations and logistics.
