Tips for Optimizing Volumetric Weight

Optimizing Package Dimensions

How small changes in your package dimensions can lead to significant savings in air freight costs. This detailed guide demonstrates how even minor adjustments to length, width, or height can dramatically impact volumetric weight calculations. We provide real-world examples of packaging redesigns that resulted in substantial cost reductions while maintaining or even improving product protection during transit.

Air Freight Divisors Explained

Understanding the different divisors used by carriers and how they affect your volumetric weight calculations. Learn about the standard divisor of 6000 for air freight, how it compares to divisors used for other shipping methods, and why carriers use different values. Discover how to leverage this knowledge to choose the most cost-effective shipping method for different types of cargo based on their density and dimensions.
