Packed volume
Packed volume is the carton, not the assembled furniture. A wardrobe measuring 1.0 m³ assembled is often 0.23 m³ flat packed. Enter packed m³ — or carton L×W×H in cm — then fit the load to a 20'FT, 40'GP, 40'HC, TIR or Mega.
Sofa example
A 3-seat sofa carton is often about 1.0 m³ packed. A 40'HC at about 70 m³ can take around 60–70 of those cartons if the mix is even. Real loads mix models and leave space for dunnage — this tool sizes the vehicle; it does not quote a price.
FAQ
What is packed m³?
Packed volume is the volume of the carton, not the assembled furniture. A wardrobe measuring 1.0 m³ assembled is often 0.23 m³ flat packed.
How many sofas fit in a 40ft container?
It depends on the packed carton, not the sofa you sit on. A 40'HC is about 70 m³ usable. Divide that by the packed m³ on your line.
