Size is important for obvious reasons when trying to fit your product in an export carton. Let’s take a quick look on how to properly read and write measurements according to the industry standard.
There are three dimensions to the basic foldi ng carton; Length (L), width (W), and height (H). In written form the dimensions should appear in that order (L x W x H). Use the figure of a reverse tuck carton to the right; match each of the dimensions up with its corresponding side.
When determining the size of a folding carton, be sure to measure from the middle of the score. To ensure accuracy, measurements should be taken to 1/16th of an inch (1.6mm).
Always remember that the height is the vertical dimension of the box when the opening is facing upwards!
