Frequently Asked Questions
What items fit in a 20-23 inch corrugated box?A 20-23" box holds medium to large items such as clothing bundles, small kitchen appliances, monitors and printers, hand tools, and multi-item e-commerce orders. Interior volume varies widely inside this one length range: a 20x16x12" box gives you 3,840 cubic inches, while a 20x20x20" cube gives 8,000 cubic inches - more than double the space at the same 20" length. Match the width and height to your product, not just the length. What is the weight capacity of a 20-23 inch box?Capacity is set by the board grade shown in the box maker's certificate, not by the length. A standard 32 ECT single-wall box in this range is rated to roughly 65 lbs gross weight, and stepping up to 44 ECT raises that to roughly 95 lbs. Choose 44 ECT for dense loads like tools, hardware, parts, or liquids, and for any box that will be stacked on a pallet. Will a 20-23 inch box be charged as oversize by UPS or FedEx?Usually no, but cubes in this range can cross the line. UPS and FedEx apply oversize charges above 108" of length plus girth, where girth equals two times the width plus two times the height. A 22x18x16" box measures 90" and a 23x20x20" box measures 103", both comfortably under the limit - but a 23x23x23" cube measures 115" and would be treated as oversize. Run the math before standardizing on a near-cube in this length range. How is dimensional weight calculated for a box this size?Multiply length by width by height in inches and divide by 139, the standard UPS and FedEx divisor for retail rates. A 20x20x20" box has a dimensional weight of 58 lbs, so it bills as a 58-lb package even if the contents weigh 15 lbs. A 20x16x12" box comes to 28 lbs. In the 20-23" range, choosing the smallest box that still protects the product is usually the single biggest lever on your shipping cost. Are these boxes recyclable and food safe?Yes. All of our corrugated boxes are made from recyclable kraft paperboard, and clean corrugated is accepted in most curbside recycling programs after the box is flattened. The materials also meet FDA requirements for indirect food contact, so they can be used to ship packaged and wrapped food products. Do you offer custom sizes and custom printing in this length range?Yes. Stock 20-23" boxes ship same day with no setup fee, which is the fastest and lowest-cost route whenever a standard size fits your product. Custom dimensions and custom printing are available on bulk orders - contact our team for minimum quantities, pricing, and lead times. |
