Do you need accurate dimension measurements for your parcels, packages, pallets and more? The CubeTape mobile cube scanner offers accurate shipping costs every time.
What is CubeTape?
CubeTape is an innovative integrated volumetric management device that delivers simple, fast and accurate capture of all shipment dimensions. Prior to 2007, it wasn’t necessary to have accurate parcel dimensions as all shipping costs were based on the weight of the item in question. However, this all changed as logistics companies like DHL and FedEx implemented dimensional weight pricing system for their ground operations.
This new commercial freight transport pricing system is designed to charge more for lightweight products with larger packaging that take up more space in delivery trucks. The general idea is that you pay for the space your packages take up on a truck, rather than the physical weight of the package. The dimensional weight (or volumetric weight) of a package is calculated based on its cubic size (length x height x width) the result is then multiplied by 166.
(L x W x H) x 166 = dimensional weight
CubeTape is portable, pocket sized and very easy to use. It’s a leading edge measuring tool and also a barcode scanner that delivers correct dimensional weight and package cube scans for shippers, freight depots and on the road city drivers. With CubeTape, you can collect parcel dimensional data and parcel barcode ID, and integrate wirelessly with existing shipping applications to produce accurate shipping costs for your freight. This helps solve the problem of account overcharges, product returns and back charges.
