How a parcel dimensioner works
-
Place the item
Put the parcel or product on the measuring platform.
-
Measure and weigh
Press a button or scan the barcode. The dimensioner captures length, width, height and weight in under a second.
-
Send the data
Parcelcube software links the measurements to the item ID and passes them to your WMS, ERP or shipping software, or saves them to a CSV file.
-
Measure the next one
Lift the item off and place the next. Measuring by hand takes about 20 seconds per item, so a dimensioner is around 20 times faster.
Laser or 3D camera: choosing a dimensioning system
Every parcel sizing system does the same basic job: it captures an item’s dimensions and weight and hands them to your software. The right parcel measurement device depends on what you measure, where you measure it and how many items pass through each station.
Static dimensioners, also called cubing systems, measure one item at a time at a packing, receiving or returns desk. In-line systems built into conveyors suit sites that process thousands of parcels an hour, at a much higher price and installation effort.
-
Laser dimensioner
- Parcel dimensioning at packing desks
- Electronic dimensioner for boxes and cartons
For boxed parcels and larger packages up to 100 × 64 × 100 cm. Works in any lighting and runs on USB power. Each parcel is measured and weighed in under a second, and the data goes straight to your TMS, WMS or ERP.
Parcelcube 1000 -
3D camera dimensioner
- Dimension scanner for irregular items
- Soft, round and very thin products
For irregular, soft or very thin items such as bottles, clothing and envelopes. Needs stable warehouse lighting. Four 3D cameras capture the item's contours in under half a second, even for items only 2 mm thin.
Parcelcube Vision -
Mobile dimensioning station
- Move between workstations
- Battery powered, no wall outlet
For inventory counts and master data collection, when it is easier to bring the dimensioner to the shelf than the items to a desk. Two batteries give eight hours of operation, and the cart works with every Parcelcube dimensioner.
Parcelcube Mobile Cart -
Industrial 3D camera
- 3D vision camera for integrators
- Custom dimensioning applications
For integrators building their own dimensioning or vision application. IP65 rated, with a hardware trigger and multi-camera fusion. It connects over Gigabit Ethernet with PoE, so a single cable carries both power and data.

Warehouse dimensioning
A warehouse dimensioning system captures accurate dimensions and weight where they matter: at receiving, packing and shipping. With exact data you pick the right box, pay the right carrier rate and plan storage on real numbers instead of estimates.
- Outbound shipping: measure each parcel at the packing station and pass the dimensions to your shipping software to avoid dimensional weight adjustments.
- 3PL operations: collect master data for new client SKUs in seconds and bill storage and handling on measured volume.
- Inventory and master data: take the Mobile Cart to the shelves and measure items where they are stored.
Setup takes about five minutes, and around 95% of support is handled remotely, so there are no on-site calibration visits.
What our customers say
With Parcelcube you can create your own master data in the simplest and cheapest way as you measure and weigh your products in a simple and fast way.
Björn Kjellbris
Christer Nöjd AB, Sweden
Parcelcube has been very helpful in our operation as we could inexpensively and efficiently collect dimensions and weight of more than 100,000 SKUs in our warehouse.
Mr. Villarreal, Operation Manager
American Sportswear Group
We have found the readings to be very accurate and the software supplied with the item has also been good. The support provided by Parcelcube has been outstanding.
N. Ali, General Manager
Viva Xpress Logistics Limited
I am very happy with both the system and the customer service offered with this purchase – the new Parcelcube machine has proved to be a cost-effective solution to our needs and plays an integral part of our daily inbound processes.
Chris Keen, Warehouse Operations Manager
Hasbro Ltd UK
Parcelcube is a great system for us, it would be very challenging to manage the warehouse parcel system without it. In addition to time and room savings, what we value most is that it’s so easy to use. You set it up once, and then it just works.

Frequently asked questions
What is a package dimensioner?
A package dimensioner is a device that automatically measures the length, width and height of a parcel, usually together with its weight. The measurements go straight to your warehouse, ERP or shipping software, replacing tape measures and manual data entry.
How does a parcel dimensioner work?
You place the item on the device and start a measurement with a button or a barcode scan. Sensors capture the dimensions, load cells capture the weight, and the software links the data to the item ID and sends it to your system.
Laser, ultrasonic or 3D camera: which dimensioner is right for me?
Laser dimensioners are accurate on boxes and larger packages and work in any lighting. 3D camera dimensioners capture the real contours of irregular, soft and very thin items, but need stable indoor lighting. Ultrasonic dimensioners measure with sound and are a proven option for boxed goods, but are less precise on small items. If most of what you ship is boxed, choose laser; if you measure loose products, choose 3D camera.
How much does a parcel dimensioner cost?
Parcelcube dimensioners are priced so that small and mid-sized companies can afford them, and there are no expensive on-site calibration or maintenance costs. Tell us what you measure and how many items a day, and we will send you a quote.
Can dimensional weight verification save money on small package shipping?
Yes. Carriers bill on the greater of actual and dimensional weight, and they re-measure parcels and add adjustment fees when the declared dimensions are wrong. Measuring every parcel before it ships lets you declare the correct dimensions, choose a better-fitting box and stop paying to ship air.
Why use a dimensioning system if we already measure by hand?
Measuring an item by hand takes about 20 seconds; a dimensioner does it in under a second. Manual measurements also contain errors, which lead to wasted storage space, unnecessary freight volume and carrier surcharges. A dimensioning system removes those errors and frees staff for other work.
What maintenance does a dimensioner need?
Parcelcube dimensioners need no on-site calibration visits. Around 95% of maintenance and support is handled remotely by our technical team. A calibration cube is included, and operators can calibrate the scale themselves in under a minute.
Which systems can Parcelcube integrate with?
Every Parcelcube parcel measurement device comes with PC software that transfers data in real time through an API, exports CSV files, and can copy measurements into any program without an integration. It works with most WMS, ERP, TMS and shipping platforms.
