Find out how many boxes fit in a 20ft or 40ft export container — by both volume and weight — and which one actually limits your load.
20ft Standard Container
965 Boxes
Assumes ~85% realistic stacking utilization — actual fit varies by pallet plan and loading method.
Ceramic tiles are dense — a 20ft container that could physically hold well over a thousand cartons by volume will usually hit its ~28-tonne weight limit long before the container is visually full. Stacking cartons to the roof on a tile shipment is a common mistake that leads to an overweight container being rejected or re-planned at the port. This tool tells you which limit — volume or weight — actually binds for your carton size, so you can plan the right box count upfront.
The volume estimate applies a realistic ~85% stacking utilization factor to account for pallet gaps and non-cubic loss — real containers never reach a theoretical 100% fill.
