How to Select the Right NCpack Size

The correct code cannot be selected from product width alone. Three-dimensional product and carton data, weight, fragility and support arrangement must be considered together.

Common mistake

“My product is 46 × 46 cm; what is the price?” does not provide enough information to select the correct NCpack code.

01

Collect five essential data points

01Product dimensions

Width × length × height, including projections.

02Internal carton size

Usable inner space, not external dimensions.

03Product weight

Needed to distribute support and plan pack quantity.

04Fragility

Electronics, glass, optics, coatings or dense metal.

05Support arrangement

Bottom-top, side or multi-directional restraint.

02

Assess the actual void around the product

Subtracting product dimensions from the internal carton dimensions gives the total void, but that space may not be distributed equally. Plan bottom, top and side support separately.

Basic checkInternal carton size − product size = total void

Then decide how that void will be divided between supporting surfaces.

03

NCpack product range

The chart supports comparison but is not a stand-alone selection formula. Weight and placement must also be assessed.

Sales format: NCpack is supplied B2B by the carton. Final selection is confirmed by sample or on-site application.

Shortlist, then verify

  1. Check dimensional fit.

    Compare available carton void with the intended support surface.

  2. Account for weight.

    Distribute heavy loads rather than overloading one pack.

  3. Protect fragile points.

    Keep screens, sockets and projections away from load-bearing contacts.

  4. Shortlist no more than two codes.

    Test close candidates with the actual product to avoid oversizing.
