This means your box size may be to prevent breakage for another box.
- olyjohn 7y agoI dunno. I ordered a gallon of oil for my car, and it came in a box that could easily hold 6 of these gallon containers. There was one plastic air pocket for packaging, which was basically flopping around in the box with the oil, and doing nothing. I would think that the oil container flying around the box would cause more damage to other packages than if they had packed it tightly.

- ZoFreX 7y agoThis seems to be an internet meme, because it's repeated in every discussion on this topic but I never see any citation for it. It also doesn't seem to hold up to scrutiny - even if the initial packing of the vehicle holds everything in place, what happens once a few packages are removed?
