Dimensions, Load Capacity, and Volume of the 20 ft Container

A standard 6m (20 ft) shipping container has external dimensions of approximately 6058 mm in length, 2438 mm in width, and 2591 mm in height. The interior space offers around 33.2 m³ of volume, a length of 5898 mm, a width of 2350 mm, and a height of 2390 mm. The load capacity is approximately 28,000 kg, while the container’s own weight is around 2,200 kg. This capacity is sufficient for storing extensive equipment or large quantities of material. The dimensions are approximate and may vary slightly depending on the manufacturer.

IICL 6 Quality: Guarantee of First-Class Condition

IICL is an international standard for evaluating shipping containers, and grade 6 designates a unit in very good technical condition. The container has undergone a thorough inspection confirming the absence of major damage, a solid structure, tight walls, fully functional doors, and a flawless floor. This standard ensures that the container is ready for immediate deployment in demanding operations, whether for storing sensitive printing materials or as a base for construction modifications.

RAL 7016 Color: Modern Anthracite Elegance

The RAL 7016 shade, known as anthracite grey, is a dark, rich tone with a subtle bluish undertone. This color looks professional and understated, allowing the container to blend easily into industrial sites as well as urban spaces. In addition, the dark surface shows less visible dirt, and the excellent powder coating provides long-term protection against corrosion and weather, extending the lifespan of the entire structure.

Easy Open Door (EOD) System

The Easy Open Door system significantly simplifies handling of the double-wing doors. A special mechanism reduces friction and allows opening by a single person without excessive effort. The doors move smoothly and provide quick access to the stored contents. You will especially appreciate this during frequent loading and unloading of printed materials, paper rolls, or equipment, when every saved minute means higher productivity.

14x Air Vents: Optimal Air Circulation

Fourteen integrated ventilation openings ensure continuous airflow inside the container, preventing moisture buildup and mold growth. This is a key feature for the printing industry—paper, cardboard, and finished prints are sensitive to moisture, which could ruin them. The ventilation openings also balance temperature differences and help maintain a stable interior climate without the need for electric dehumidification.

Use of the Shipping Container in the Printing Industry

The printing industry encompasses a wide range of activities from printing and bookbinding to storage and distribution of finished products. Thanks to its properties, this 6m shipping container is an excellent partner for many specific needs.

Who Is It For?

The 6m shipping container is suitable for printing houses, advertising agencies, bookbinding workshops, publishing houses, digital printing operators, packaging, and paper product manufacturers. It will also serve self-employed individuals who need a mobile printing workplace, or companies looking for temporary expansion of storage capacity during seasonal peaks.

Storage Options

The interior space with a volume of over 33 m³ can hold up to 22 euro pallets, which means a huge storage area for:

• Rolls of printing paper of various weights and widths.
• Sheets of offset, coated, or self-adhesive paper.
• Finished prints, books, brochures, and flyers protected from dust and light.
• Inks, varnishes, chemicals, and other printing substances, provided they are safely packaged.
• Spare parts for printing machines, tools, and auxiliary equipment.

Thanks to its tightness and ventilation, a stable environment can be achieved inside, minimizing the risk of paper deformation or ink drying. The container can also be equipped with racking systems for efficient use of height.

Transport Options

The 6m shipping container is standardized for intermodal transport—it can be transported by truck, train, or ship. For the printing industry, this means safe transport of:

• Large-format printers or cutting plotters to exhibitions and trade fairs.
• Entire print runs to clients without the risk of damage.
• A mobile printing workshop directly to the event site where immediate production is needed.

The solid steel construction withstands impacts and bad weather, so the sensitive contents remain in perfect condition throughout the journey.

Conversion Options

The container can be transformed into practically anything the printing operation requires:

• Mobile printing studio: Insulation, electrical installation, and installation of a printing machine directly in the container create a fully functional workplace that arrives wherever it is needed. Ideal for event printing of T-shirts, promotional items, or banners.
• Photography studio with on-demand printing: Equipped with lighting, a computer, and a photo printer, it enables immediate production of photographs at weddings, balls, or corporate events.
• Archive and depository: Shelving and an air conditioning unit transform the container into a secure archive for valuable printing matrices, films, or rare books.
• Temporary bookbinding workshop: Workbenches, a cutting machine, and binding machines inside the container will handle rush orders without the need to build a permanent annex.
• Storage and sales stand in one: Part of the container serves as storage, the other as a sales counter with samples—convenient for markets and festivals.

Thanks to its construction, the 6m shipping container can be easily modified—adding windows, additional doors, lighting, or security features. Modifications are not limited by the layout of a masonry building, and the finished project can be relocated at any time.

Benefits for the Printing Industry

• Mobility: The container can be moved to a new location within a few hours, which will be appreciated by companies with multiple branches or seasonal needs.
• Security: Massive steel walls and lockable doors protect expensive equipment and material from theft and vandalism.
• Weather resistance: Print products and machines are completely safe from rain, snow, and UV radiation.
• Quick availability: Unlike building a masonry warehouse, the container is ready for immediate use.
• Scalability: If needed, additional containers can be added and connected into a larger unit.

Further Ideas and Recommendations

Consider equipping the container with solar panels for independent operation of printing equipment in the field. For long-term paper storage, we recommend an internal thermometer and hygrometer to monitor the microclimate. The air openings can be fitted with dust filters if the container is placed in a dusty environment. If you plan to convert it into a workplace, think about soundproofing—printing machines can be noisy, and the container conducts sound well. Investment in quality insulation and soundproofing will pay off in operator comfort.

The 6m shipping container will also serve as a base for outdoor exhibitions, where you need a protected space for print samples, or as a mobile showroom to present your printing services to potential clients. The possibilities are almost limitless and are limited only by your creativity.
