1. Measure Your Product Accurately

Start by measuring:
- Length (L) longest side
- Width (W) shorter side
- Height (H) from base to top
Always use the outermost packaging if your product is already boxed or wrapped.

2. Add Buffer Space for Safety

Add at least:
- 510 mm on all sides for buffer space
- Space for tissue paper, shreds, or inserts
- Consider adding extra height if using kraft wraps or stickers inside
This prevents tight fits that damage the box or item.

4. Avoid Oversized Boxes

Oversized boxes:
- Increase courier cost due to volumetric weight
- Require extra filler (bubble wrap, etc.)
- Reduce perceived value if the product looks small inside
Tip: Customers love snug packaging it feels custom.
