What is girth of a package?

The girth of a package refers to the measurement around the thickest part of the package. It is calculated by adding the length and width of the package together, and then multiplying that sum by 2.

Girth is an important measurement for shipping and transportation purposes, as it helps determine the overall size and volume of a package. It is often used to calculate shipping costs and to ensure that a package will fit through certain conveyor systems or doorways.

When measuring the girth of a package, it is important to use a flexible measuring tape and to wrap it around the widest part of the package while taking care to keep it level and straight. Incorrect measurements can result in inaccurate shipping costs or delayed deliveries.
