Receiving and sending parcels is part of our lives, especially in the age of e-commerce and online ordering. But do you know what are the appropriate types and sizes of boxes used for shipments? An extremely popular and convenient way of sending and receiving parcels, for example, is the parcel delivery service. The key question, however, is what box to use to meet the appropriate parameters of your shipments. Shipments can be broadly divided into 2 groups: standard and oversized.

Standard shipments

Standard shipments should meet the following parameters:

• maximum weight – 5 kg
• maximum dimension of one side of the consignment – 70 cm
• maximum sum of the dimensions of all three sides (height, width, depth) of the consignment – 120 cm (e.g. a consignment with dimensions 50×40×30 cm)
• minimum dimensions of the consignment: 10×7×1 cm

Oversized shipments

• weight from 5.1 to a maximum of 10 kg
• maximum dimension of one side of the consignment 70-120 cm
• maximum sum of dimensions of all three sides from 120 to 150 cm

The dimensions of the boxes and the weight of the consignment determine the price. We therefore recommend that you use the most suitable boxes depending on the size and weight of the goods being shipped. Here at RAJA you can choose from more than 550 possible box sizes. Don’t forget to fill the empty space in the box with suitable filler to protect your goods. Finally, you only need to seal the shipment properly, use the correct shipping label or the appropriate label needed for transport and handling of the goods.
