- There is a proper sequence to describe the
Dimensions of a carton:Length x Width x Depth
remark: W=width L=length H=height D=Depth G=gusset F= Flap
To determine the proper length, width and depth, place the carton facing you with the opening pointing up (as if the carton was to be filled from the sky).
Length - the longest open end dimension from left to right
Width - the shortest open end dimension from front to back
Depth - the remaining dimension from top to bottom
When measuring always refer to the outside dimensions of the carton. Please measure from the center to center of the scores. Also, dimensions should be rounded to the nearest 1/16th of an inch(") or millimeter(mm).
OD – Outside Dimension measurement of a Box, cup, or lid.
ID – Inside Dimension measurement of a Box, cup, or lid.
