Container Loading

How many cartons fit in a 20GP, 40GP or 40HQ — calculated across every orientation, then discounted to a loading rate you can actually plan around.

Loading rate

Real containers rarely fill past 85–90%.

Cartons are placed in their best orientation, including the option of turning them 90° in the container. Odd sizes, pallets, doors and weight limits all reduce the number in practice.
