Carton size calculator

Tell us your product — a jar, bottle, pouch or tube — and Product2Pallet works out the folding carton that fits it: inside and outside dimensions, board thickness and carton weight.

Start planning — free

From product to carton in seconds

Choose your pack type and enter its measurements. We add the right fit clearance for glass or plastic, then allow for board thickness on every side so the outside size is exactly what your shipper and pallet need.

Every common carton style

Reverse and straight tuck end, crash-lock bottom for heavier or glass items, seal end for dry food, sleeves and two-piece gift boxes — with a recommendation based on your product.

Real board grades

Folding box board (GC1/GC2), solid bleached board (GZ), white lined chipboard (GD/GT) and kraft (CNK/CKB), with typical weights and thickness so the numbers match what your carton maker quotes.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need a retail carton?

Not always. Many jars, tubs and trigger sprays go straight into the shipping case. You can skip the carton step and go straight to the shipper.

How accurate are the sizes?

They use typical board thicknesses and fit clearances. Always confirm the final specification with your carton supplier before ordering.
