Mailer Box Size Calculator

Turn the packed product dimensions and protective clearance into a minimum internal length, width and height. Use the result to prepare a clearer small-batch quote—not as an unapproved production dieline.

Estimate the minimum internal box target

Measure the product after applying any sleeve, wrap or primary packaging. Enter the protection thickness on each side; the tool adds it twice to the corresponding dimension.

No name, email, delivery address, product name or order information is collected by this tool.

Packed product: 20 × 14 × 5 cm. Minimum internal target after clearance: 22 × 16 × 7 cm. Please confirm the internal and external dimensions, board/flute, tolerance, insert fit, sample route, packed weight, quantity and delivered cost before production.

Use a physical fit test before approving production.

What the result does—and does not—mean

It is a minimum internal target. It combines the packed product with the entered protection allowance.

It is not an exterior box size. Board thickness, flute, folds, lid geometry and production tolerances change the outside dimensions.

Do not send the result straight to production. Confirm a physical sample or prototype, actual insert compression, orientation, movement, closure, board construction, packed weight, freight and delivery terms.

Frequently asked questions

Should a mailer box size use internal or external dimensions?

Start with a minimum internal target based on the packed product. Board thickness, folds and construction determine the exterior size, so ask the supplier to confirm both.

How much clearance should I add around a product?

Add the real thickness of tissue, cushioning, sleeves or inserts on each side. Use a physical packing test rather than a universal allowance when fit, movement or crush risk matters.

Does the calculator include board thickness?

No. It calculates a minimum internal target only. Board grade, flute, folds and tolerances must be confirmed before converting it into an exterior size or dieline.

Are my product measurements sent to Daoyi Pack?

No. The calculator runs in the browser and does not submit or store the entered measurements.

Can this estimate be used as a production specification?

No. Confirm a physical sample, final internal and external dimensions, board construction, insert fit, tolerance, packed weight and delivery terms before production.

Measure first, then compare a real box.

Use the result as a brief starter and keep every unverified production fact subject to sample and supplier review.
