Do you need moving supplies?

Hand-picked for this exact result — no generic lists.

Measure once. Trust the estimate.

Volume is only half the story — the cargo opening decides what actually goes in.

  1. Measure the opening, not just the trunk.

    A box that fits the volume may not pass the trunk lid.

  2. Count on 80% efficiency.

    Wheel wells, sloping roofs and odd corners eat space.

  3. Heavy boxes low and forward.

    Weight over the axle keeps the car stable.

  4. Strap tall stacks.

    Anything above the seat line should be tied down.

Worked example

One concrete case, with the assumptions spelled out.

40×30×30 cm boxes in a sedan trunk

A ~445 L trunk at 80% efficiency holds about 9 boxes of 36 L each.

ƒ(x)boxes = floor(cargo litres × 0.8 ÷ box litres)
