What "packed" means

Packed volume is not the bounding box. It is the space an item consumes once loaded into a truck or a unit, including the space its shape makes unusable. A three-cushion sofa measures roughly 84 × 36 × 34 inches — a 59 cu ft box — but packs at 50 cu ft because it loads on end against a wall. A recliner is the reverse: nothing stacks on a curved back, so its packed figure exceeds its measured box.

This is the convention professional US movers use on a cube sheet, which means an estimate built from this dataset should line up with a mover's own survey rather than contradicting it.
