Pick the box first. Everything else is filling it.
On Pantrix you choose a container before you choose products. That order matters: the container sets the volume and weight you have to work within, and the site can then tell you how full your load is as you add each line.
The three sizes we load
| Type | Internal volume | Max payload | Standard pallets | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 20GP | 33.2 CBM | 28,200 kg | 10 | First orders, trial assortments, dense cargo such as canned goods |
| 40GP | 67.7 CBM | 28,800 kg | 21 | Mixed grocery loads where volume and weight are balanced |
| 40HC | 76.4 CBM | 28,600 kg | 21 | Light, bulky cargo — snacks, tissue, plastics, pet food |
Volume or weight — which runs out first
A container is full when it hits either its volume limit or its payload limit. Which one you hit depends entirely on what you are shipping:
- Dense cargo — canned fish, tomato paste, cooking oil, rice — reaches the weight limit with the container half empty. A 20GP is usually the right box.
- Light cargo — crisps, biscuits, wafers, tissue — fills the volume long before the weight. A 40HC gives you the most for the same freight cost.
- Mixed loads are the reason most buyers settle on a 40GP: heavy lines on the floor, light lines above.
The best-value load is one that runs out of volume and weight at roughly the same time. Our team will flag it if your list is badly skewed one way.
Reading the fill indicator
As you add products, the container widget in the header shows how full your load is by volume, and how much CBM you have left. It is a planning aid, not a stowage plan — final cube is confirmed by the loading team before the container is sealed.
Minimum order
We ship full container loads. Each product line also carries its own MOQ in units, shown on every product card, and quantities always move in whole cartons — part-cartons cannot be picked.
