SOP 20 How to: Measuring Freight

How to measure individual items and pallets.

Step 1 of 6

Measure from one end of the carton to the other, rounding the measurement UP in centimetres, this measurement is 39cm.

Step 2 of 6

We do the same to measure the other side of the carton, this one falls between 27 and 28, so we round up to 28cm.

Step 3 of 6

To measure the height of the carton, place the tape behind the carton, making sure it's touching the table and get down level with it to get the most accurate reading, this measures just under 25, so 25cm is the measurement.

Step 4 of 6

To measure pallets, we do the exact same, measure the longest part on each side, this one is 104cm.

Step 5 of 6

Even if the product doesn't reach the edge of the pallet, we still measure to the widest point, front to back, this one is 83cm.

Step 6 of 6

The height is the same, we measure the highest point from the ground, the one is 54cm.
