Boxes per m³ calculator
Find out exactly how many boxes you need for your storage unit or furniture storage with professional precision.
Are you renting a storage unit and need to know how many cardboard boxes will fit in the available space? This calculator lets you enter the dimensions of your storage unit (or any storage area) and instantly get the maximum number of boxes you can safely stack.
How does it work?
Enter the length, width, and usable height of your storage unit in centimeters. The calculator divides the total volume by the volume of each standard TELECAJAS box size, taking into account the maximum safe stacking height for each type of cardboard (single wall: max. 3 boxes high; double wall: max. 5 boxes high).
Most common storage unit sizes
| Storage room | m² | Standard boxes (approx.) | Ideal for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Little | 1-3 m² | 15-40 | Documents, seasonal clothing |
| Medium | 3-6 m² | 40-80 | Partial move, ecommerce stock |
| Big | 6-15 m² | 80-200 | Complete move, company archive |
Tips for optimizing your storage room space
- Use boxes of the same size: they stack better and make the most of every centimeter.
- Heavy boxes below, light ones above: books and tools at the base, clothes and textiles on top.
- Leave an aisle: if you need to access the boxes frequently, leave a 60 cm aisle.
- Label everything: write the contents on at least two visible sides of each box.
