Have you ever ordered a box that seemed perfect, only to find your product doesn’t fit? It’s a frustrating (and costly) surprise, and it usually comes down to one mix-up: inside vs. outside dimensions.<\/span><\/p>\n

Every box has two sets of measurements. Inside dimensions tell you what fits. Outside dimensions tell you how much space the packed box takes up in transit and in storage. Mix them up and you could end up with a box that’s too tight, or a shipping bill you didn’t plan for.<\/span><\/p>\n

In this Packlane guide, we outline the difference, explain when to use each, and walk you through how to measure a box accurately.<\/span><\/p>\n
