| Spec | Value |
|---|---|

| Pallet volume | 1.9965 m³ |

This pallet reference helps you compare with LCL (less-than-container-load) freight quotes and decide whether to consolidate with other consumables.
How many cartons fit in a 20GP container?
A standard 20-foot general-purpose (20GP) container loads 639 cartons of 20kg powder:
| Spec | Value |
|---|---|
| Cartons per 20GP | 639 |
| Total volume | 22.502475 m³ |
| Net weight | 12,780 kg (12.78 MT) |
| Gross weight | 13,419 kg (13.42 MT) |
Container math is straightforward for import planning: if your monthly volume approaches or exceeds a full container, you benefit from consolidated sea freight rates and fewer border crossings per kg. If your volume is below a pallet, 1kg or 5kg pack formats keep your inventory flexible.
Which pack format should a distributor choose?
| Buyer type | Recommended format | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| E-commerce / retail seller | 1kg or 5kg packs | Label-ready inner bags, easy single-unit fulfilment |
| Production shop (single site) | 20kg carton or drum | Direct production feed, lower per-kg carton waste |
| Wholesale distributor | 25kg bag; pallet lots | Higher density per shipment, fewer handling touches |
| Importer / container buyer | 20GP (639 cartons) | Best sea freight economics per kg |
Note: Any two pack formats can be mixed in one container (FCL or LCL). A typical mixed DTF consumables container bundles powder cartons with DTF film rolls and ink cartons to fill the container's volume and weight capacity efficiently. For AB film packing references, see our UV DTF AB film buyer's guide.
