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.
Use your CBM result in a wholesale brief
This calculator is a planning estimate, not a confirmed load plan or a freight booking. Enter packed carton volume, not assembled furniture — not every line is flat packed, and usable space also depends on mix, dunnage and weight. If you want a quotation, tell us the packed CBM or carton sizes, the categories that should share the load, your approximate volume, and the destination market. Programme terms are confirmed only for that programme.

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.
What if my load is too small for a full container?
If the packed volume is below a full container, the calculator still shows the fit so you can see the volume. Whether a part-load or a mixed programme is possible is confirmed only on a quotation — this tool does not book groupage or guarantee a shared container.
Does this calculator show prices?
No. No prices, no suppliers, no SKUs. Quotes are for verified buyers on a programme.
Can you calculate this for a real order?
Yes. Send us your packed CBM or carton sizes, the categories you want to load together and your destination market on WhatsApp. We check the load as part of a quotation; final fit and terms are confirmed only for that programme.
