What is Girth Measurement?

Girth measurement refers to calculating the circumference of a parcel or package. This is typically done using a girth formula considering the package’s size and shape.

The girth formula for measuring girth varies depending on the unit of measurement used, but it usually involves adding the package’s length and width and multiplying by two. Shipping companies often use girth measurement as a limit for the size of packages that can be shipped, as it helps to ensure that packages are compatible with their transportation systems. Proper parcel packaging is crucial for accurate girth measurement and safe transportation of goods.
