Kokonaiskoon

Kokonaiskoon is a Finnish term that translates roughly to the "total size" or "overall size" of an object. In Finnish usage, it refers to the complete external dimensions or capacity of something, rather than its weight or internal volume. The form kokonaiskoon is the inflected version of kokonaiskoko, used in sentences to describe what the object’s overall size is.

In practice, kokonaiskoon is widely used in product specifications, packaging guidelines, and transport or logistics documentation. It helps determine how large an item is when including its outer boundaries, which is important for shelf space, shipping costs, palletization, and handling. For example, a retailer might list the kokonaiskoon of a box or furniture piece to inform customers about its external dimensions. In shipping, the overall dimensions influence packaging requirements, carrier limits, and dimensional pricing.

Kokonaiskoon can be expressed in common measurement units such as centimeters or millimeters for physical objects, with format variations depending on the context (for instance, height × width × depth). In some contexts, the concept also covers the external capacity of a container or packaging, described in volume terms where appropriate.

Overall, kokonaiskoon is a fundamental specification concept in Finnish that communicates how large an object is in its outward form. It is closely related to, and sometimes used interchangeably with, the terms outer dimensions or external size in technical and consumer contexts.
