wareliumtoolsEstimate cartons per container from floor layout, stacking height, weight and door limits. Compare four container types.
One carton size, upright. Calculate as you type.
Carrier example only. Edit to match your actual equipment. Dimensions below are in mm.
Allowance is subtracted once from each inside dimension. Pallet gross weight and height include the pallet.
Same cargo, rotation, stack limit and allowance. Carrier example dimensions and payloads.
| Container | Cartons / container | Containers needed | Volume use at capacity | Use this type |

On a phone, swipe the table sideways for all columns.
Capacity uses floor layout, height and payload; it is not shipment CBM divided by nominal container CBM.
Share the tool address. Your entered values are not included.
The tool compares straight and mixed 90° row patterns in both container directions. It selects the best of those patterns, without guaranteeing the best possible packing. All units stay upright.
Cartons must individually pass the door in their final orientation. They are stacked inside; the complete stack need not pass the door.
The drawing shows the first layer at maximum estimated capacity, with the door at right. Dense layouts show only the first 300 units. Volume use compares that capacity with the full internal geometric volume.
Presets use Hapag-Lloyd equipment examples. Manufacturers and individual containers vary; confirm the actual internal dimensions, door opening and permitted payload.

This geometric estimate does not assess stability, cargo restraint, weight distribution, carton compression, forklift access or road/vehicle limits. Allow handling space and verify these constraints with your carrier and site procedures. Mixed sizes and irregular cargo are outside this model.
The CSV contains your inputs, the selected container estimate and the four reference comparisons. It is generated locally; the tool does not upload your shipment data.
Illustrative inputs and outputs to help you check your own task.
This simple geometry is an example, not a standard container specification.
The layer limit is your input. The tool does not determine carton compression strength.
