Container Utilization Calculator
Cartons that fit a container from carton dimensions, container type and a stacking utilization factor.
Cartons per container
802
Usable volume
57.8m3
The formula
Cartons = floor(usable CBM x utilization / carton CBM). Usable CBM: 20ft 28, 40ft 58, 40HC 68.
Worked example
Carton length: 60 cm, Carton width: 40 cm, Carton height: 30 cm, Container: 40ft high cube (68 m3 usable), Stacking utilization: 85 %. Result: Cartons per container = 802; Usable volume = 57.8 m3.
Assumptions
- Volume-based estimate; the actual load plan depends on carton orientation mix.

In the platform
Intelactory ties packed cartons to the order and the shipment, so packing lists and container plans come from the floor's own counts.
