Box
Dimensions
Box Dimensions are always inside dimensions and must be
stated in the sequence of length, width and depth. The
length is the larger of the two dimensions of the open
face (flap opening); the width is the smaller. The depth
is always the distance measured perpendicular to the
length and width between the innermost surfaces of the
box. Even the so-called "end-opening" or
"end-loading" boxes follow the above
principles. Thus, the depth is still the dimension
between the innermost surface of the box-measured
perpendicular to the length and width. |

Other
Dimensions
Tubes and folders follow the same sequences used for
boxes in determining dimensions. Length, width and depth
are listed in that order, with length being the larger
of the two dimensions of the open face, and width the
smaller. Pads, liners, partition pieces, die-cut pads,
scored blanks and sheets of corrugated or solid
fiberboard with only two dimensions, have there size
specified with the first dimension parallel to the
corrugations, or perpendicular to the grain of solid
fiberboard. |

The
properly measure a corrugated box, score to score
measurements should be taken for each dimension. Since,
when describing a corrugated box the inside dimensions
(or usable carton capacity) is considered, predetermined
deductions from score to score measurements must be made
to arrive at the true box size. Board flute, being of
variable thickness, requires that each flute have its
own set of score to score measurement deductions, as
follows: |

NOTE:
Always measure panels not adjacent to the tape or glue
joint. Measure from the center of the score to the
center of the score. |
