What is the Girth Measurement?

The girth measurement is a unit of measurement that is used by many shipping companies and parcel services as a limit for the maximum size of a parcel to be shipped. It is calculated using the following formula: 1 x length + 2 x width + 2 x height. Like the maximum weight, the girth measurement is also used to limit the dimensions of transported goods.
