A 1-meter spherical LED display does not arrive in a 1-meter box. In the packing records used below, one 1-meter model needs a flight case measuring 1.25 × 1.25 × 1.60 meters. Its packed volume is 2.50 cubic meters.
That difference matters when requesting freight quotes, arranging unloading, or checking whether the package can enter a building. Before shipping a spherical LED display, buyers need the final case dimensions, gross weight, and package count—not just the sphere diameter.
The sphere diameter describes the display itself. Packing dimensions describe the outside of the case carrying it.
The space between them may accommodate the supporting base, internal restraints, cushioning, case panels, and handling features. A floor-standing sphere may also have components below the display that increase the packed height.
For this reason, adding a fixed allowance to the diameter is unreliable. Two spheres with the same diameter can need different cases because their structures, accessories, and packing arrangements differ.
The correct dimensions should come from the actual packing design and be checked after packing.
The following records cover selected P2.5 indoor spherical LED displays. They are configuration-specific examples, not standard dimensions for every sphere of the same diameter.
| Sphere diameter | Packing type | Length × width × height | Volume | Gross weight |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1m | Flight case | 1.25 × 1.25 × 1.60m | 2.500m³ | 150kg |
| 1m | Wooden case | 1.25 × 1.25 × 1.55m | 2.422m³ | 130kg |
| 1.2m | Flight case | 1.37 × 1.37 × 1.82m | 3.416m³ | 242kg |
| 1.2m | Wooden case | 1.45 × 1.45 × 1.75m | 3.679m³ | 220kg |
| 1.5m | Flight case | 1.72 × 1.72 × 2.04m | 6.035m³ | 406kg |
| 1.5m | Wooden case | 1.75 × 1.75 × 2.11m | 6.462m³ | 378kg |
The 1.2-meter flight case is 22kg heavier than the wooden case, but its volume is about 7.2% smaller. The 1.5-meter flight case is also heavier while occupying less volume.
A lighter package therefore does not always take up less space. Compare both measurements before asking a forwarder to price the shipment. These figures alone do not establish which option has the lower freight cost.
Net weight refers to the product weight under the stated specification. Gross weight includes the packed contents and packaging.
In the 1-meter example, the listed product net weight is 72kg. The wooden-case gross weight is 130kg, while the flight-case gross weight is 150kg.
Using 72kg for the shipping request would leave out a substantial part of the load.
However, the difference should not automatically be described as empty-case weight. Confirm whether controllers, cables, spare modules, and mounting accessories are included in each figure. Matching the weight figures to the same contents avoids misleading comparisons.
CBM means cubic meters. For one rectangular case:
CBM = length × width × height, with all dimensions in meters.
For the 1-meter flight-case example:
1.25 × 1.25 × 1.60 = 2.50m³
For several packages, calculate each case separately and add the results. Multiply by quantity only when the cases have identical dimensions.
Large globe sphere LED displays may have separate packages for display sections, internal supports, bases, and electronics. Each needs its own packing-list entry.
Do not calculate shipping volume from the mathematical volume of the sphere. The shipment consists of external packages, including the space required by their protective structures.
A useful packing check connects the spreadsheet to the finished shipment.
Measure each closed case. Record its maximum outside length, width, and height, including protruding parts.
Weigh the completed package. Include all contents assigned to that case.
Match the case number to the packing list. Confirm that accessories and separate support packages are counted.
Photograph the measurements and weight reading. Keep a record that can resolve differences before collection.
Then check the largest package against the delivery route. Door openings, lift dimensions, turning space, and unloading equipment can matter even when the total CBM looks manageable.
For example, the listed 1.5-meter flight case is 2.04 meters high. A delivery plan based only on the sphere’s 1.5-meter diameter could overlook an access restriction.
No. Diameter is a starting point. The support structure, case design, accessories, and assembled or split shipment arrangement also affect the final dimensions.
No. Smaller sections can improve handling, but extra cases and protective spacing also occupy space. Compare complete packing lists before deciding.
Provide every case’s outside dimensions, gross weight, quantity, destination, and handling requirements. Identify any figures that are estimates rather than final measurements.
Shenzhen Aishang Display Technology Co., Ltd. offers customized spherical LED displays for indoor and outdoor projects, with design, production, and engineering guidance.
When discussing your project, share the sphere diameter, installation method, destination, and available access dimensions. Request a packing proposal alongside the display specification so the screen, transport arrangement, and receiving site can be reviewed together.
