Measure one packed unitUse final outer L × W × H, not the empty product dimensions.
CBM & Export Packing Calculator
Calculate package CBM, gross/net weight and planning air volumetric weight, then reuse the packing geometry in the shared Trade Studio shipment record.
CBM is geometry; freight pricing is a separate quote.Enter the outer dimensions and count for every package type. The tool calculates cubic metres and weights. Air volumetric planning uses 6000 cm³/kg only as a planning divisor—your carrier/forwarder quote controls the real chargeable-weight rule.
Enter count + weightsAdd one row per carton/crate/package size.
Reuse the geometrySend the totals to the shared project, then test pallet/container fit.

CBM errors propagate into LCL charges, container decisions and packing lists. This calculator keeps dimensions, package count and measured weights together and can synchronize them with the shared shipment record.
Measure the packed unit
- Enter outer length, width and height in centimetres.
- Enter the number of identical packages in each row.
- Use measured gross and net weights where available.
How OpenFileTools processes it
Source-backed inputs, explicit assumptions.
All calculations run in the browser. The tool converts centimetres to cubic metres, totals weight and optionally updates the browser-local shared Trade Studio packing record.
Questions, answered.
What is CBM?
CBM is cubic metres of volume. For a rectangular package, multiply packed length × width × height in metres, then multiply by package count.
Does CBM tell me the exact container count?
No. Container suitability also depends on payload, door/internal dimensions, shape, stacking, securing and operational loading limits.
