How Do I Mix Diapers, Wipes and Tissue in One 20ft Container?
Yes, you can mix diapers, wipes, tissue and towels in one 20ft container. Diapers are bulky and should take roughly 60-70% of the usable cube (about 28 CBM), while compact wipes and tissue fill the remaining gaps. A mixed container gives a new store a full range without overstocking a single product.
- 20GP usable cube: about 28 CBM; diapers cube out before they weigh out.
- Allocate roughly 60-70% of cube to diapers, the rest to wipes, tissue and towels.
- Wipes and tissue are compact and fill voids between diaper cartons.
- Exact counts come from the supplier's packing list for each mixed container.
- Request a starter mixed-container loading plan and quote.
A mixed container is the most capital-efficient way for a first-time distributor to open a baby-care section. Instead of filling the whole container with one format, you spread the risk across repeat-purchase products and give retailers a one-stop order.
Can I mix different products in one container?
Yes. Suppliers routinely load a mixed container with tape diapers, pull-up pants, wipes, facial tissue and cotton towels, provided each SKU meets its minimum carton quantity. Ask for the combined packing list, which shows the CBM and carton count of every product before you confirm the order.
What share of the cube should diapers take?
Diapers are the bulkiest line and the core repeat purchase, so they should occupy roughly 60-70% of the usable 28 CBM, about 17-20 CBM. Pull-up pants and tape diapers share this space. Overfilling the mixed container with diapers leaves no room for the compact, higher-margin add-on products.
How do wipes and tissue fill the leftover space?
Wipes, facial tissue and cotton towels are small, dense cartons that fit into gaps between diaper pallets and near the container doors. A 20GP of wipes alone can hold roughly 300,000-500,000 pieces, so even a few CBM add a large sellable quantity. Using these compact products to fill voids raises the total value of every mixed container.
What could a starter mixed container look like?
Hypothetical example only, not a quotation: 18 CBM diapers (about 65%), 5 CBM wipes (about 18%), 4 CBM facial tissue (about 14%) and 1 CBM cotton towels (about 4%), totaling 28 CBM. Actual piece counts depend on packing and must be confirmed on the packing list; request tailored figures through /partner.
What are the risks of mixed loading?
The main risks are ordering too many slow sizes and leaving no reorder budget. Keep the diaper portion weighted to M and L, and remember that customs duty and sales tax vary by product and country. Read the distribution channels guide and the wholesale price and MOQ guide before finalizing.

Yes, a mixed container is standard, with diapers taking about 60-70% of the usable cube.
How many CBM are usable in a 20GP?
About 28 CBM of the roughly 33 CBM total, after loading efficiency and pallets.
How many wipes fit in a 20GP?
A wipes-only container holds roughly 300,000-500,000 pieces, so a few CBM add plenty of stock.
How do I get an accurate mixed loading plan?

Bottom line: A mixed container lets a new distributor stock diapers, wipes, tissue and towels at once, with diapers taking about 60-70% of the 28 CBM usable cube and compact products filling the gaps. Use the hypothetical 65/18/14/4 split as a starting point, then confirm the real packing list and quote through the partner program.
