Hardsided Container Fill Requirements
All containers are to be filled as much as possible, without exceeding 22.7 kg. There are no minimum fill
requirements when hard-sided containers are used.
To maximize the use of container fill, for uneven bundles, items can be placed width wise or length wise in the
container. When preparing containers, ensure items do not exceed the maximum height.
NOTE: The minimum fill requirement for hardsided containers nested without lids is 50% of the container's
capacity.
