THE NUMBERS, EXPLAINED
How to use this calculator.
Identical folded blocks in a fixed axis-aligned orientation, with no compression. Returns a regular grid; does not claim optimal rotated packing.
Start with your inputs
Enter drawer width, depth, height (cm), folded garment width, depth, height (cm), garments. Keep amounts in the units shown on each field. The example is a starting point, not a recommended value.
| Input | Example value |
|---|---|
| Drawer width, depth, height (cm) | 60,40,20 |
| Folded garment width, depth, height (cm) | 15,20,5 |
| Garments | 20 |
A worked example
With the example inputs above, grid columns, rows, layers is 4, 2, 4. Change the inputs to explore your own scenario.
| Result | Example answer |
|---|---|
| Grid columns, rows, layers | 4, 2, 4 |
| Garment capacity | 32 |
| Overflow | 0 |
How this is calculated
Grid columns, rows, layers
Divide each drawer dimension by its corresponding block dimension and round down.
Garment capacity
Multiply columns, rows and layers.
Overflow
Subtract grid capacity from garment count.
Symbols and units
- a
- Drawer width, depth, height (cm)
- b
- Folded garment width, depth, height (cm)
- c
- Garments
Use the units shown. A list keeps the order in which you enter its values. The symbol ^ means “raised to the power of”.
Assumptions and limits
Identical folded blocks in a fixed axis-aligned orientation, with no compression. Returns a regular grid; does not claim optimal rotated packing.
Calculations use the values you enter. Blank or invalid inputs show an error instead of silently substituting zero. Results are displayed to useful precision; calculations retain the underlying numeric precision.
Questions about this tool
What does the result tell me?
Grid columns, rows, layers; Garment capacity; Overflow. The result applies to the method and inputs described above. Check the units and assumptions before using it in a decision.
Why might another calculator differ?
Differences in units, rounding, timing or model definitions can produce different answers. Compare the input definitions and the method, rather than only the final number. For this tool: Identical folded blocks in a fixed axis-aligned orientation, with no compression. Returns a regular grid; does not claim optimal rotated packing.
Are my inputs stored or sent to AI?
