Standard Corrugated Box Sizes (L x W x H) and Custom Options
Below you will find an overview of common corrugated box sizes from our factory and how they are used, as well as a complete size list and our custom corrugated box capabilities.
How Corrugated Box Sizes Work (Length x Width x Height)
Before we talk about specific sizes, it is important to align on how measurements are defined.
- Measurements are given as Length x Width x Height (L x W x H)
Length and width refer to the base of the box, height is the depth from base to opening. - Sizes are usually internal dimensions
This means 12 x 9 x 6 in refers to the usable inner space, not the outer footprint. - Inches are the standard for exporting corrugated boxes
Especially for North America and many e-commerce platforms.
When you share your required size, always confirm whether you are using internal dimensions, and whether you need extra space for inner packaging such as bubble wrap, foam inserts or product manuals.
Most Popular Corrugated Box Sizes and Applications
We work with many brands, importers and e-commerce sellers who prefer to start from proven standard sizes. Below are some of the most frequently ordered sizes from the list you provided, grouped by typical application.
Small Corrugated Boxes for E-Commerce and Spare Parts
These compact corrugated boxes are ideal for accessories, cosmetics, components and small online orders.
4 x 4 x 4 corrugated boxes
A very compact cube used for small parts, samples, cosmetic jars, small electronics accessories and individual promotional items. It reduces void fill and looks neat for direct-to-consumer shipping.
5 x 5 x 5 corrugated boxes
Slightly larger than 4 x 4 x 4, often used for premium gifts, small jars, candles, skincare products or a single boxed item. Good balance between protective space and shipping cost.
6 x 4 x 4 corrugated boxes
A practical “mini rectangular” size for cables, phone accessories, spare parts and small tools. The lower height helps reduce product movement during transport.
6 x 6 x 4 corrugated boxes
Useful when the product footprint is square but not very tall – for example, beauty sets, compact gadgets, food tins or stacked sachets.
6 x 6 x 6 / 6x6x6 corrugated box / 6x6x6 corrugated shipping box
A classic 6x6x6 corrugated box is a very popular size for small to medium e-commerce parcels. It offers enough space for combined items (e.g. two or three products per order) while still fitting well into courier size brackets.
8 x 6 x 4 corrugated boxes
Frequently used in cross-border e-commerce for slightly larger accessories, smaller boxed products or sets. This size works well when you want to optimize for both protection and volumetric weight.
8 x 8 x 8 corrugated boxes
A cube with more internal volume, suitable for multiple small items in one shipment, small boxed devices, cosmetics sets, gift packs or boxed food products.
Medium Shipping Boxes for Retail & Fulfilment
These standard corrugated box sizes are widely used in fulfillment centers, wholesale shipments and retail replenishment.
10 x 10 x 10 corrugated boxes
A flexible cube for a wide variety of items: small homeware, boxed electronics, toys, kitchenware, etc. Easy to stack and palletize.
11 x 11 x 13 corrugated boxes – 25/bundle
This slightly taller cube is ideal for items with additional cushioning or secondary packaging. Supplying these 11 x 11 x 13 corrugated boxes in 25-piece bundles makes storage and inventory management more efficient for your warehouse.
12 x 9 x 2 corrugated boxes
A shallow shipping box commonly used for catalogs, documents, flat clothing (such as T-shirts), laptop sleeves or slim product boxes. The low height reduces void fill and keeps goods stable.
12 x 9 x 6 corrugated boxes
One of the most common sizes for 3C products, small appliances, personal care devices, multi-item shipments and subscription boxes. This format is highly compatible with many major courier size rules.
12 x 12 x 12 / 12x12x12 corrugated box
The 12 x 12 x 12 corrugated box is a classic general-purpose cube for retail replenishment, bulk item shipping and combined orders. The stable cube geometry makes it excellent for pallet stacking and warehouse racking.
14 x 10 x 6 corrugated boxes
This is a popular “workhorse” size in e-commerce, as it fits a wide variety of boxed products, fashion items and combined orders while still being manageable for couriers and end consumers.
16 x 12 x 12 corrugated boxes
Often used as an inner shipper for medium-size homeware, textile products, multiple clothing pieces or multipacks. The footprint is friendly for pallet layout.
18 x 12 x 12 corrugated boxes
A versatile shipping carton size for larger or multiple items such as kitchen appliances, small tools, bulk food products or household goods. The length allows for more layout options inside the box.
Large Corrugated Cartons for Bulk and Industrial Packing
For heavier or bulkier items, larger corrugated shipping boxes support better stacking, warehouse handling and transport safety.
18 x 18 x 18 corrugated boxes
A robust cube for bulk shipments of retail goods, industrial spares or multiple inner boxes. It is easy to stack on pallets and in containers.
20 x 20 x 20 corrugated boxes
A larger cube for products that need more space or cushioning, such as small appliances, bulk textiles, or multi-unit packs. Suited for warehouse and B2B shipping rather than single online orders.
24 x 16 x 16 corrugated boxes
Good for longer items with moderate height or multiple medium-size inner cartons. Common in industrial supply chains and B2B replenishment.
24 x 24 x 24 corrugated boxes
A high-capacity cube suitable for bulk goods, large components, multiple retail boxes in one master carton or export shipments. Frequently used by distributors and wholesale buyers.
36 x 36 x 36 corrugated boxes
An extra-large box for very bulky or lightweight high-volume products such as cushions, bedding, large plastic components or foam products. It is more common in industrial or domestic logistics rather than parcel services.
Tall and Long Corrugated Boxes for Oversized Items
Some products simply do not fit in a cube. For items like rods, rolled materials or long components, tall corrugated boxes and long corrugated boxes are essential.
4 x 4 x 36 tall corrugated boxes
Ideal for posters, rolled graphics, rods, tubes and other long, narrow items. The small footprint saves warehouse space while protecting the length of the product.
8 x 8 x 48 tall corrugated boxes
Designed for longer items that require more internal clearance, such as telescopic products, long tools, fixtures, lighting profiles or rolled materials.
48 x 24 x 24 corrugated boxes
A large long corrugated box for industrial components, assembled parts or long yet relatively lightweight items that need strong outer protection.
60 x 24 x 24 long corrugated boxes
Used where extra length is required: long metal profiles, pipes, frames, display equipment or specialty products. We normally recommend heavier board grades and reinforced sealing for this category.
24 x 24 x 4 corrugated boxes
Although not as tall as the previous sizes, this shallow but wide format is useful for flat, wide items such as panels, signs, trays or multiple flat-packed products in one master carton.

If you are working with any of the above standard corrugated box sizes, we can usually match them directly. If you need a slightly adjusted dimension (for example, 11.5 x 10.5 x 12.5 in), we can review the required internal size, board grade and load capacity, and then propose a suitable custom corrugated box solution.
How to Choose the Right Corrugated Box Size for Your Products
When you select a size, you are really making a packaging design decision. We recommend thinking from four angles:
- Product dimensions and protection needs
Measure the product (or inner pack) carefully and then add space for cushions, inserts or manuals. For example, if the product is 11 x 10 x 5 in, a 12 x 9 x 6 corrugated box may not be ideal; you might consider 14 x 10 x 6 with custom inserts to ensure a snug fit. - Weight and stacking strength
Box size should match both product weight and stacking requirements. Larger boxes like 24 x 24 x 24 or 36 x 36 x 36 normally require stronger board grades if you plan to stack them high in the warehouse. - Logistics and freight efficiency
Courier pricing often uses volumetric weight. Choosing the smallest corrugated shipping box that still protects your product will reduce dimensional weight charges. For B2B shipments, consider how boxes fit on pallets and inside containers. - Handling and customer experience
A box that is too large or too heavy is difficult to carry and may damage the unboxing experience. Many brands prefer smaller boxes such as 6x6x6 corrugated shipping boxes or 8 x 8 x 8 corrugated boxes for direct-to-consumer deliveries because they look neat and professional.
If you share your product dimensions, weight and shipping method (courier, LTL, FCL/LCL), our team can help you map to the most suitable corrugated box size and board grade.
Custom Corrugated Box Solutions Beyond Standard Sizes
Standard sizes are a good starting point, but many brands and distributors eventually move to custom corrugated boxes to control:
- Fit and protection for special-shaped products
- Branding (custom printing, colors, logos, handling symbols)
- Material selection (single wall, double wall, different flute types)
- Cost optimization based on real shipping patterns
Even if your target size is not in the list above, our factory can produce made-to-order corrugated shipping boxes once we understand:
- Required internal L x W x H (inches or millimeters)
- Target load capacity and stacking needs
- Whether boxes will be used as inner cartons, master cartons or both
- Required print artwork and order quantity
