20L Cubitainer Packing and Loading Data
20L cubitainer packing and loading data helps export buyers calculate carton quantity, pallet plan, sea freight volume, warehouse space, and container loading before placing a bulk order.
This guide provides LIQPACK’s standard reference information for empty 20L Cubitainer export shipments, including carton size, non-palletized loading quantity, palletized loading quantity, and 20GP, 40GP, and 40HQ container loading options.
The loading data below is for empty 20L Cubitainer packaging only. It is not intended for filled liquid products. Final loading quantity may vary depending on carton structure, pallet type, container condition, loading method, and destination warehouse requirements.
20L Cubitainer Packing and Loading Overview
A 20L Cubitainer is folded before carton packing to reduce shipment volume and improve export packing efficiency. The standard export carton size is 56 × 41 × 58 cm, and each carton contains 50 pcs of empty 20L Cubitainers with matching caps. The following 20L Cubitainer packing and loading data is based on LIQPACK’s standard empty Cubitainer export packing format.
The caps are packed in plastic bags and placed together with the folded Cubitainers inside the same corrugated export carton. This means the standard carton packing quantity already includes the caps and does not require a separate loading calculation for caps.
Before confirming a shipment, buyers should check whether the order requires pallet packing, carton marks, warehouse labels, or special loading instructions.
| Item | Standard Reference |
|---|---|
| Carton size | 56 × 41 × 58 cm |
| Carton type | Corrugated export carton |
| Packing quantity | 50 pcs per carton |
| Cap packing | Caps packed in plastic bags inside the same carton |
| Product condition | Empty folded 20L Cubitainer |
| Carton marks | Customized carton marks or labels can be arranged if required |
Non-Palletized 20L Cubitainer packing and loading
Non-palletized loading allows a higher number of empty 20L Cubitainers to be loaded into each container. This option is usually selected when the buyer wants to maximize container quantity and reduce the unit transportation cost.
Non-palletized loading is suitable for buyers who can handle carton unloading manually or through local warehouse arrangements. It provides better container utilization, but buyers should confirm whether the destination warehouse can accept loose cartons without pallets.
| Container Type | Cartons | 20L Cubitainer Quantity |
|---|---|---|
| 20GP | 200 boxes | 10,000 pcs |
| 40GP | 400 boxes | 20,000 pcs |
| 40HQ | 480 boxes | 24,000 pcs |
Palletized 20L Cubitainer Packing and Loading
Palletized loading is suitable when the buyer needs easier unloading, better warehouse handling, and more organized shipment management. Although palletized loading reduces the total quantity per container, it can improve handling efficiency and reduce manual work at the destination.
For palletized shipment, LIQPACK can use export-standard fumigation-free wooden pallets or export-standard plastic pallets according to project requirements. The pallet height listed below includes the pallet itself.

Non-Palletized vs Palletized Loading
Both loading methods can be used for 20L Cubitainer export shipments, but they serve different purchasing and logistics priorities.
Choose non-palletized loading if the main goal is to maximize container quantity and reduce unit freight cost. This method is more suitable when the destination side can handle loose carton unloading.
Choose palletized loading if the buyer needs easier forklift handling, cleaner warehouse management, faster unloading, or more controlled shipment organization. This method is often preferred by buyers with formal warehouse receiving procedures.
The final choice should be based on order quantity, shipping budget, destination warehouse requirements, unloading conditions, and whether the buyer needs pallet labels or batch management.
20L Cubitainer non palletized
20L Cubitainer palletized loading
| Loading Method | Best For | Main Trade-Off |
|---|---|---|
| Non-palletized loading | Higher container quantity and lower unit freight cost | More manual handling at destination |
| Palletized loading | Forklift unloading, organized receiving, warehouse management | Lower container quantity than loose carton loading |
Factors That May Affect Final Loading Quantity
The loading quantity shown on this page is a standard reference for empty 20L Cubitainer export shipments. In most standard orders, matching caps are packed together with the Cubitainers inside the same carton, so caps do not change the container loading quantity.
However, final loading quantity may still vary if the buyer requires special carton structure, different pallet type, different pallet height, reinforced carton packing, customized carton marks, or mixed shipment with other products. If the order includes additional accessories beyond the standard cap packing, LIQPACK can review the packing plan before shipment.
For bulk orders, buyers are encouraged to confirm the target quantity, container type, pallet requirement, carton mark requirement, and destination unloading method before final quotation.
| Factor | May Affect Loading Quantity? | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Matching caps in plastic bags | No | Included in the same carton for standard packing |
| Customized carton marks | Usually no | Confirm before production |
| Different pallet type | Yes | May change pallet height or loading plan |
| Reinforced carton packing | Possible | Confirm if buyer requires special carton strength |
| Mixed shipment with other products | Yes | Requires separate loading calculation |
