Estimate your savings with MVP Box, the patented shipping carton with pre-scored heights your team folds down to fit each shipment. No capital equipment. Results update live as you type.
Built for retailers, DTC brands, and 3PLs.
Approximate is fine.
Pick all that apply and enter the % of shipments each carries. Each carrier is calculated separately with its own divisor and rounding rules, then results are combined by that share.
If a 12-inch box typically holds 8 inches of product, that's about 33% wasted height. The slider produces a proposed new height (rounded up to the next half inch) for modeling; it does not mean a score line exists there. Score heights are set when the box is specified and confirmed on your quote. If you already know the new outside height, enter it in "New outside height" on the box row and it replaces the slider for that box. The new height must be lower than the current height (MVP Box only folds down) and can be lower by up to half the box width.
3PLs ship a wide spread of product sizes across many clients, so stock boxes often ship air. MVP Box folds to a pre-scored height just above the contents at the pack station, in about a second, so one box covers a range of heights. Reducing excess height lowers calculated dimensional weight; freight savings depend on billable weight and each client's carrier terms. No machine, no floor space, no client-by-client retooling.
For DTC brands the box is part of the unboxing, but oversized boxes mean void fill, higher calculated dimensional weight, and a worse customer moment. Folding to a suitable pre-scored height reduces excess height and void fill at the same time, and a snug box presents better on arrival. MVP Box needs no equipment investment, so growing brands can right-size height without a machine.
Ship-from-store programs struggle with dimensional weight because store back rooms can't house right-sizing machines and associates aren't packaging engineers. MVP Box works in any back room with no equipment; a brief demonstration shows associates how to select and fold to the appropriate score line. That makes store-level height right-sizing workable across a network without capital projects.
Industrial shippers move heavy, variable, often awkward parts where oversized cartons mean both dimensional weight exposure and excess protective fill. A carton with pre-scored fold-down heights lets one box serve many part profiles, cutting SKU count on the floor while trimming the air you're paying carriers to move. It seals by hand or runs through compatible case sealers within their size range, with no machinery to install or maintain.
