How to Measure a Box
Jax Box prefers the dimensions of a box to be expressed and measured as inside dimensions.
Accurately measuring the inside of the box is very important to ensure that the proper fit is created. The dimensions are listed as Length x Width x Depth. The length is defined as the longer side of the opening. The width is the shorter side of the opening. The depth runs perpendicular to the length and width and is also the height of the carton.
Interior Dimensions
The interior dimensions of a corrugated box reflect the amount of usable space in the box when assembled. The interior dimensions are the industry standard measurement used to determine the fit of the product that goes inside.
When ordering Jax boxes, the measurements you see listed by default relate to the interior dimensions. For example, a 10” x 10” x 6” box will have 10” of space from wall to wall (length and width), and 6” of space from bottom to top (depth).
Interior dimensions are critical when finding a stock box to fit your product or designing a custom box from the ground up. However, if you’re trying to reproduce an existing box, they’re not the most accurate set of dimensions to communicate to your packaging to Jax Box.
