How many kilograms can fit in a 20-foot and 40-foot container?
Container loading quantity depends on the packaging format chosen. Here are the typical loading figures for monk fruit extract powder:
Container Loading Capacity
| Container Type | Net Weight per Carton | Cartons per Container | Total Net Weight |
|---|---|---|---|
| 20'GP (1 kg bags, 20/carton) | 20 kg/carton | ~700 cartons | ~14,000 kg |
| 20'GP (5 kg bags, 4/carton) | 20 kg/carton | ~700 cartons | ~14,000 kg |
| 20'GP (20 kg drums) | 20 kg/drum | ~700 drums | ~14,000 kg |
| 40'GP (1 kg bags, 20/carton) | 20 kg/carton | ~1,400 cartons | ~28,000 kg |
| 40'GP (5 kg bags, 4/carton) | 20 kg/carton | ~1,400 cartons | ~28,000 kg |
| 40'GP (20 kg drums) | 20 kg/drum | ~700 drums | ~14,000 kg |
Key Loading Notes
- All figures assume standard 20 kg/carton loading pattern
- 40'GP with drums does not double because drums are less space-efficient
- For 1 kg and 5 kg bag formats, the 40'GP offers the best freight cost per kg
- LCL (less-than-container load) is available for orders below 2 MT — typically shipped as groupage cargo
