In terms of carton consumption means “consumption of ply board”. We know that, carton box
is made by using ply board. Before started to calculating ply board consumption or carton
consumption, a garments merchandiser should confirm the below information:
By using the below formula, a garment merchandiser can easily calculate ply board
consumption or carton consumption in apparel industry. Let’s see the below equation with
example;
Carton Consumption :
Q.1: Suppose, a carton has Length 58 cm, Width 35 cm & Height 40 cm, total carton 200 pcs.
Now find out the cargo measurement for 200 cartons?
= 58 X 35 X 40 /10,00,000 X 200
= 16.24 CBM
Q.2: Suppose, a carton has 5 ply, Length 60 cm, Width 45 cm, Height 50 cm, total carton qty
150 pcs. Now find out the carton measurement in square meter?
(Note: If you don't want to add wastage, then avoid wastage value. For safety purpose, should
be add wastage )
Q.3: Suppose, a 5 ply carton's per square (100 X 100) meter's rate is USD 0.85. Carton Length
is 58 cm, Width 26 cm , Height 40 cm. Now find out the carton price?
= 89 X 71 X 2 / 10,000 X $ 0.85
= $1.074 / per pcs
Q.4: Suppose, a 7 ply carton Length is 58 cm (0.58 meter), Width 35 cm (0.35 meter), Height
40 cm (0.40 meter), price $0.90 per square. Now find the price per carton?
= { 0.93 X 0.75 } X 2 + 5%
= $1.320/ carton
1. Carton Length.
2. Carton Width.
3. Carton Height.
4. Quantity of carton.
For example:
1. Carton Length-60cm
2. Carton width-40cm
3. Carton Height-20cm
4. Carton quantity-2,000 Pcs
=0.60mX0.4mX0.2m
=0.048 m3
Only 1 carton CBM is 0.048 m3 then 2000 pcs carton CBM will be
CBM=0.048X2,000
=96 m3
