How many 60×40×40 cm cartons fit in a 20ft container (20' GP)?
225 cartons
225 cartons of 60×40×40 cm fit in a 20ft container (20' GP) (internal 589×235×239 cm), stacked 9 along the length × 5 across × 5 high in the best orientation (60×40×40 cm), using 65.3% of the volume.
Method & caveats
- Orientation-grid method: identical cartons, best of 6 orientations, no rotation mixing — the standard estimate for uniform cartons.
- Watch the payload: this container is limited to 28,200 kg — heavy cartons may hit the weight cap before the space runs out.
- Mixed carton sizes pack differently — use the interactive 3D planner for real mixed loads.
