Australian help needed
1w.jpg
Can anyone please help with these measurements.
I want to send a tissue box to Australia but I don't know the common size of the paper tissue box container used in Oz.
Common English Sizes.
1. = 9 inches 225mm
2. = 4 3/inches 120mm
3. = 2 3/4inches 70mm
And my boxes accommodate above.woody U.K.

Thanks for that Rob, that measurement at 3 is unfortunate, I was just finishing 4 boxes suitable for 70mm depth and intending to send. Any chance there are tissues around that would suit?

Hi,
Actually they vary, especially the hight. I made a box and some times it's a tight fit and others there is up to about 20mm space.

Hi John,
I thought that might be a fly in the ointment! Can you give me about two hours and I'll zip down to the Stupid market and have a look. My gut says yes there are shorter boxes, but I'd not like to steer you wrong.
Regards,
Rob

Thanks all, it looks like my boxes will be OK for depth then, might mean putting tissues in loose if not the acceptable size available sometimes.

I agree, the height difference depends on whether it is a box of 180 or 224 tissues Originally Posted by LGS
