Package volume & volumetric weight
Check the space your packed rolls occupy. Use your carrier’s divisor to compare dimensional weight with actual gross weight.

Unrounded comparison weight
43.2 kg total
The larger of dimensional and gross mass for each identical package. Not a carrier quote or a final billable weight.
What is being calculated?
Volume per package (m³) = L × W × H (cm) ÷ 1,000,000
Dimensional mass (kg) = L × W × H (cm) ÷ divisor (cm³/kg)
Comparison mass = max(gross, dimensional) per package × count
Example: 60 × 40 × 30 cm = 0.072 m³. At a divisor of 5,000, dimensional mass is 14.4 kg per package. Three identical 10 kg packages give 0.216 m³ and an unrounded comparison mass of 43.2 kg.
Service rules differ: DHL Express guidance uses 5,000; DHL eCommerce US guidance uses 6,000. Confirm your own service’s current rule.
A roll is not a rectangular carton
Enter the package’s outer bounding dimensions, including protection and protrusions. For a cylindrical roll, measure the longest outside length and both maximum outside diameters. Do not replace the bounding-box volume with πr²L.
Confirm carrier rules for non-rectangular packages. Dimension rounding, weight rounding, minimum charges, service limits and surcharges are not included. Calculate mixed package sizes separately; this is not a container loading plan or a freight price calculator.
