FAQ

Questions about our tools

What packaging tools does Packaging Squad offer?
A Packaging Finder that recommends a box for your product, a Box Volume Calculator, a Dimensional Weight Calculator, a Packaging Cost Calculator, a Paper Weight Converter, a QR Code Generator and a Barcode Generator.
Are the tools free?
Yes. Every tool on this page is free to use, with no account or signup.
Which tool should I start with?
If you're not sure what packaging you need, start with the Packaging Finder. If you already know your box, go straight to the Packaging Cost Calculator.
Should I use a barcode or a QR code on my packaging?
Use a barcode when the box needs to be scanned at checkout or in a warehouse; make one with the Barcode Generator. Use a QR code when you want customers to open a website, menu or video with their phone; make one with the QR Code Generator. Many brands use both.
How do I lower my shipping costs?
Carriers often charge by a box's size, not just its weight. Use the Dimensional Weight Calculator to see your billable weight, and the Box Volume Calculator to compare box sizes. A box that fits your product snugly usually costs less to ship.
