Determine parcel format
This tool allows you to determine the parcel format code, to be used for label creation.
This tool displays whether or not a format is acceptable based on parcel dimensions and
weight.
This tool has been generated with rules applying to Asendia Benelux, Denmark and Sweden.
Different rules may apply for other Asendia subsidiaries.
For destination UK (GB), different rules may apply then indicated on this page.
Please ask your Asendia contact for more information.
Format B or N is required for EPAQSTD and EPAQPLS.
For EPAQSCT in combination with Mailbox Plus: format B, N or L is required.
For EPAQSCT without Mailbox Plus:
- a format doesn't need to be provided but it should definitely be less than 30 kilograms (kg).
- to be sure that the parcel is accepted by the carrier, our advice is not to have a parcel exceed the dimensions for L.
Format XL is only available for customers of Asendia Sweden and Asendia Denmark upon
request.
Feel free to copy and paste the source code for this implementation into your own source code.
