Direct answer
How many 18mm 1220 × 2440mm MDF sheets were loaded in this 40' HC?
This recorded shipment used 16 bundles with 48 sheets per bundle, giving 768 sheets in total. The MDF was specified as E1 grade with a nominal density of 680 kg/m³.
The calculated net board weight was 27,983 kg. The recorded net weight was 28,000 kg, and the recorded gross cargo weight after adding approximately 500–800 kg of packaging was 28,500–28,800 kg.
This answer applies to the documented order. A different density, sheet size, thickness, bundle construction, product mix, container or transport route requires a new calculation and loading review.

How to use this loading case
Recalculate when any order input changes.
The recorded quantity is useful as a traceable comparison point. It should be used with the proposed order data, not copied as a standard capacity.
| Changed input | Why it matters | Required review |
|---|---|---|
| Thickness or sheet dimensions | Changes sheet volume, bundle height and occupied space | Recalculate CBM, sheet weight and bundle layout |
| Nominal density or product construction | Changes theoretical net board weight | Recalculate weight and verify product-specific data |
| Sheets per bundle or packaging | Changes bundle dimensions, support and packaging weight | Confirm safe handling, protection and gross weight |
| Container, route or destination | Payload and transport limits can differ | Verify plate data and applicable logistics restrictions |
| Mixed products or sizes | Changes weight distribution and loading geometry | Prepare an order-specific loading arrangement |
Before shipment release
Confirm the limits for the exact container and route.
The 28,500 ± 500 kg figure is the planning range provided for this shipment case. It is not a universal 40' HC capacity.
- Check the container CSC plate, tare, payload and maximum gross weight.
- Confirm road, port and destination weight restrictions.
- Verify actual bundle count, packaging materials and final weighing records.
- Confirm suitable forklift loading and unloading capability.
