A 20 feet container is a type of container with dimensions in meters: length of 20 feet or 6.10 meters, width of 8 feet or 2.44 meters, and height of 8 feet 6 inches or 2.59 meters.
The size of a 20 feet container is a common standard, along with the 40 feet container, which applies to all types of containers, whether for shipping or modifications.

How to Calculate the Volume of 20 Feet Container
Calculating the volume of a container helps you determine how much cargo can fit inside the container for distribution.
There are several online tools that assist you in calculating the volume of a 20-foot container, such as CBM Calculator and Online Container Loading & Stuffing Calculator.
Here’s how you can use them:
- Determine the dimensions of the cargo you intend to ship. For example, let’s say you plan to send packaged tea in boxes with dimensions of 14 x 5 x 6 cm and a weight of 200 grams.
- Open the CBM Calculator in your web browser.
- Select “cubic meter” and enter the dimensions of the tea boxes in the respective fields, such as Length: 14 cm, Width: 5 cm, and Height: 6 cm. Input the Gross Weight as 200 grams.
- Then, enter all the calculation components, and the result will show the quantity of tea boxes (without pallets) that can fit into a 20-foot container, which in this case is 78,872 boxes of tea.
