Volume weight, also known as dimensional weight, considers the amount of space a package occupies in relation to its actual weight.

Volume Weight = (Length x Width x Height) / Density Factor

  1. Measure the dimensions of the package in inches.
  2. Multiply the length, width, and height measurements to obtain the total volume in cubic inches.
  3. Divide the total volume by the predefined density factor to yield the volume weight in pounds or kilograms.

  • Optimize packing efficiency
  • Reduce shipping costs
  • Improve logistical planning
