When a package is large but light, carriers charge based on its size rather than its physical weight because. Dimensional weight pricing (DIM) is a technique that enables freight carriers to charge shipping fees based on the size of the box, rather than its actual weight. Charging fees by weight ignores the impact of packages that are lighter in weight but bigger in size. It balances physical mass with occupied space so shippers don't underpay for bulky shipments., the length. The price of a corrugated box is not arbitrary; it is a sum of various factors including raw material choices, manufacturing processes, design complexity, order volume, and prevailing market conditions.
