Useful tips for measuring your packaging
Unless otherwise specified, all dimensions are internal dimensions in millimetres, as shown below:
Length ( L ) x Width ( W ) x Height ( H )
- Long ( L ) = dimension from left to right (usually the longest dimension in the opening)
- Width ( W ) = dimension from front to back (usually the shortest dimension in the opening)
- Height ( H ) = top to bottom (the dimension from the top of the opening to the base)
The L, W, H dimensions are specified in each description of the box design, for some models the numeric value of W may exceed the numeric value of L.
