Packable Daypacks: Folded Size, Capacity and Range Role
Compare folded size, usable capacity and range role, then build a sample brief with the 20 L Seawing catalogue reference.

SKU 38 folds into its own pocket. Use its listed folded size to shortlist products for a travel range and its listed open dimensions to plan an in-use display. Keep both records attached to the offered revision and colour.
A rectangular calculation from the open exterior dimensions cannot verify the capacity of a flexible bag. For a competitive litre comparison, request the capacity method, the compartments included and the condition of the pack during the measurement.
For the folded measurement, close the storage pocket with straps inside and identify the three outer endpoints without crushing the sample. Record maximum depth separately. Then measure the complete sale unit with its actual insert or wrap so the buyer can plan shelf and carton space from the right object.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the 20 L figure describe?
It is the stated capacity of SKU 38. Use the same capacity method before comparing it with another model.
What is the folded size of SKU 38?
The catalogue shows 20 × 18 × 6 cm in its folded state. Ask for the method and endpoints on the offered revision.
Does 230 g include the retail pack?
The catalogue lists 230 g for the product. Ask for separately identified bare-item and packaged weights.
Can I derive capacity from the exterior measurements?
No. Open exterior dimensions describe the outer envelope, while capacity depends on the usable interior and the method.
